The bill will provide funding to support the poisoning of mares with a restricted-use pesticide, which the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses describes in a recent news flash as “sustaining wild horse populations through robust fertility control and habitat stewardship programs.”
The project is not an outgrowth of public opposition to cruel and costly helicopter roundups, as indicated in the announcement, but is driven by a belief that areas identified for wild horses should be managed primarily for cattle and sheep.
Thus, it is an offshoot of the contemptible “Path Forward” and CAAWH, a leader in the wild horse removal industry, is one of its greatest supporters.
