If you saw 15% foals in an area two weeks ago, and now you only see 5%, and some of the animals show signs of attack, predators may be responsible.
If you saw 15% foals in an area three years ago, and now you only see 5%, and some of the animals show signs of attack, the advocates may be responsible.
The story about the disappearance of foals in Grayson Highlands is a reminder that the advocates are not the only predators in areas inhabited by wild horses.
The bureaucrats and ranchers insist that there are none, even though the advocates rely on them to take out any foals that slip through their darting programs.
Their claim warrants some belief, however, because those animals also target calves and lambs, to the disdain of state wildlife agencies.
