The advocates would have a tough time cementing their relationship with the bureaucrats and ranchers if they couldn’t access private property on the Virginia Range.
Fortunately for them, but not for the horses, some landowners give them permission to stalk the mares on their property, so they can poison them with Zonastat-H and show their would-be allies that they can be as ruthless as the contractors and that removal by pesticide is a viable alternative to removal by helicopter.
One example is lot 10A in Storey County, APN 004-271-60, on the list of approved properties for darting.
Do the advocates know where the property lines are, so they can respect the wishes of those who don’t agree with them?
Or do they just go wherever the horses are because beating the population down as quickly as possible is the best way to win the approval of the bureaucrats and ranchers?
