The “Path Forward” was a plan for ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses and burros, sometimes referred to as achieving and maintaining AMLs.
Today many organizations support the concept, including the advocacy groups, but there is disagreement on how it should be achieved.
The bureaucrats and ranchers want removal by helicopters.
The advocates want removal by pesticides.
But they all want removal.
Nobody’s looking upstream in the management process at the policies and plans that set the priorities and drive the actions on America’s public lands.

This is another example of a “Broken Treaty” — a betrayal most of all to horse kind and burro kind but also to all people of conscience.
