Exposing the Hypocrisy, Lies and Incompetence of the Wild Horse Advocates
After her run-in with the law, maybe she’ll be content to poison wild mares with a restricted-use pesticide, as the advocates do.
She was a student at the time she took 13 horses from various people, and they were never seen again, according to a story dated May 23 by Advance Local Media.
Like the perp, the advocates tell you they’re protecting wild horses while they’re working quietly on the range to get rid of them.
The Nevada Independent confirmed the bill’s demise today, claiming that the measure did not succeed because of tension over land management concerns and degradation of habitat caused by wild horses.
Western Horse Watchers believes the legislators heard the not-so-subtle message of the advocates loud and clear, that wild horses are pests, and that other stakeholders just need to be patient while their volunteers get rid of them.
They owe an apology to the fourth graders at Doral Academy.
The following video from the final hearing on May 16 features a conga line of PZP fanatics testifying on behalf of their cherished wild horses.
The moral of the story: If you want to help wild horses, stay away from the advocates, especially the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, its affiliates, offshoots and supporters. Everything they touch turns to crap.

The water system was put back in service yesterday but trailcam photos from February show the tanks covered in snow, well over two feet deep.
This went on for at least three months, as “atmospheric rivers” rolled across California and into Nevada, starting on December 31.
With access to little food and water at the higher elevations, the horses either migrated to lower elevations or died.
All this as the advocates, relentless in their pursuit of the horses and desperate for the approval of the bureaucrats and ranchers, press on with their ruinous darting program, now in its fifth year, putting many of the mares at risk of sterility.

A new project has been created in ePlanning but no documents have been posted.
The facility provides long-term care and maintenance for up to 2,750 excess animals on a 26,894-acre off-range pasture located on privately lands in Osage County, OK.
The March 2023 Off-Range Facilities Report indicates two such pastures, East and West, with capacities of 1,735 mares and 1,015 geldings, respectively.
Wild horses are removed from their lawful homes on public lands in the western U.S. and sent to these places to die, because most of their food has been assigned to privately owned livestock.
“Excess animals” means more horses than allowed by plan, not more horses than the land can support.
A new project was created this week in ePlanning and a Final DNA has been copied to the documents folder.
There are no opportunities for public comment.
The Proposed Action will continue an existing contract with the Chigley Off-Range Pasture to provide long-term care and maintenance for up to 500 excess animals on a 3,662-acre off-range pasture located on privately owned land in Murray County, OK.
Terms of the agreement were not provided, including duration and rates.
The DNA stated that the agency’s obligation to develop and maintain land use plans is limited to public land and interests in public land, which does not extend to animals, such as wild horses and burros.
The WHB Program Office has authorized periodic increases in the population of up to a 10% to accommodate occasional shipments of excess animals to the facility, which has a capacity of 608 mares according to the March 2023 Off-Range Facilities Report.
The advocates have their own vocabulary to conceal the effects of their ruinous darting programs.
Sterile mares are described as “self-boosting,” abnormal sex ratios are dismissed as “mares living longer” and “herds aging out” means horses dying with no recruitment.
A “Stay Wild” cap means you’re down with the Montana Solution and protecting them from removal means getting rid of them with PZP.
Some aspects of their programs can’t be discussed in public, let alone be put on paper, such as long-term goals.
The advocates know, and have always known, that Zonastat-H, a pesticide peddled as a vaccine, is a sterilant.
Damage begins with the first injection.
They don’t talk about it.
Non-reproducing herds can be achieved in as little as five years.
They don’t talk about that either.
But that’s what happened on the Maryland side of Assateague Island and is happening now at the Salt River, Virginia Range and other areas where wild horses and burros interfere with animal agriculture.

Front Range Equine Rescue and two wild horse photographers have joined forces with Return to Normal (Before WHB Act), signatory to the anti-horse/pro-livestock “Path Forward,” to stop the changes announced on May 9, according to a news release dated May 17 on PRN.
Their announcement claims that the White Mountain HMA will be managed as non-reproducing herd, an option that was dropped in the final plan. Refer to the bullet list in Section 4.0 of the ROD.
The court will likely uphold BLM’s decision.
Actions like these keep their base fired up and the donations rolling in, while achieving nothing useful for wild horses.
They are free to spend their money as they please, within reason, but you don’t have to be part of it.

She’s toast.

The advocates point to conflicts between wild horses and drillers, miners and loggers, but if they were true, county commissioners would have cited them in their resolution.
Instead, they pointed to conflicts between wild horses and livestock, noting that some BLM grazing allotments have gone unused because of over-grazing by wild horses, that fences and crops of county ranches have been damaged by wild horses, and that a decline in the county’s agricultural output can be attributed to the horses.
There’s nothing new under the sun!
The advocates are united with the bureaucrats and ranchers in their belief that wild horses are pests, evident in their May 16 testimony before the Assembly Committee on Government Affairs regarding SB90.
They have their own vocabulary to conceal the truth about their ruinous darting programs, for which they’re always seeking your financial support.
They claim to be voices for the horses, yet they’re trying to get rid of them with a restricted-use pesticide.
Back in the day, we called this “mixed messaging.”
As a result, many in the legislature must be wondering why they’re being asked to designate a pest as the official state horse of Nevada.
