A Day on the Range with the Piceance Advocates

An article posted yesterday by The Colorado Sun tells the story of two volunteers with Piceance Mustangs, a group known for its pro-ranching/anti-horse sentiment.

How much of this is covered on their web site?  None.

They’ve accidentally darted stallions, who become infertile, lose their mares and end up living alone.

They receive their supplies from the BLM, including the projector, RDDs, rangefinder and pesticide of choice, GonaCon Equine.

The agency will pay them 14 cents per mile if they file travel reports.

The report provides evidence of unlawful use, such as handling the product without the required PPE.

On the bright side, it’s no longer classified as a restricted-use pesticide, so it can be used to control pests that interfere with animal agriculture, even in their lawful homes.

Curiously, the women describe themselves as horse lovers, typical of the advocates.

And, like most advocates, their words never match their deeds.
