Overpopulation is the analog of climate change in the wild horse world.
Both are lies.
Suzanne Roy, feckless leader of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, beats the fertility control drum in today’s edition of The Colorado Sun, claiming that the best way to protect wild horses is through fertility control.
If you still think she’s playing with a full deck, watch her May 16 testimony before the Nevada State Assembly regarding SB90.
The piece was probably drafted by her subordinates.
Poisoning mares with ovary-killing pesticides protects other users of public lands, such as hunters and ranchers, not wild horses.
Roy and her followers are getting rid of them! The latest assault is on the Cedar Mountain herd in Utah, with the blessing and financial support of the Bureau of Livestock Multiplication.
At the Virginia Range, site of their flagship darting program, which Roy describes as the world’s largest, these zealots are running the herd into the ground. Go to the Year 4 Report submitted to the NDA. If you can’t access the document, click here.
You know about herd management areas but are you aware of herd treatment areas?
That’s their glorious vision for America’s wild horses: To convert HMAs to HTAs!
Thumbs down for helicopters, thumbs up for pesticides.
As for the other users of public lands, the same report indicates Roy sent her henchmen to the 2022 FREES conference to sell the idea of nonmotorized removal to the ranchers and ranching sympathizers.
The Nevada State Director is Tracy “You need to manage the numbers to fit what’s available for the horses” Wilson, champion of habitat loss and livestock encroachment.
These people, who claim to be voices for the horses, are frauds, no getting around it.
