Wild Horse Advocacy in One Word

FAILURE.  In four words: Collaboration with the enemy.

Symptoms:

• Habitat loss
• Resource mismanagement
• Roundups
• Adoption incentive program
• Sale with or without limitations
• Off-range holding
• Sanctuaries
• Darting programs
• Mass training

These are signs of victory if you’re a public-lands rancher.

This year may see more horses in off-range holding than on the range, another sign of failure—or success if you’re a rancher.
