The defeatists at Return to Freedom, signatory to the ill-advised “Path Forward,” applauded Senate lawmakers last week for directing the BLM to implement thoughtful management that would slow (not stop) the growth of wild herds, keeping them on their home ranges rather than relying on the costly and traumatic capture, removal and warehousing of wild horses and burros.
This, of course, means pummeling the mares with ovary-killing pesticides. It’s not a question of proper implementation as suggested in the announcement. The stuff is poison and those who promote it are frauds.
The group works with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to demand the immediate scaling up of safe, proven and humane fertility control for wild horses and burros, according to a news release dated July 29.
Like the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, its affiliates, offshoots and supporters, Return to Normal (Before WHB Act) is always eager to beat down wild horse populations so ranchers can access most of their food.
The bureaucrats refer to this as achieving and maintaining AMLs, which are small relative to the available resources.
