On March 8 the Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioners heard testimony regarding a letter from the Coalition for Healthy Nevada Lands, Wildlife and Free-Roaming Horses seeking the removal of wild horses from public lands in Nevada.
It was item 8 on their agenda.
As if bringing a pinch of incense to the altar, a delegate from the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses stated at 2:57:20 “We recognize that there is a population problem in Nevada, but wild horse roundups is not the solution.”
In an effort to promote her pesticide business, she mentions fertility control six times in six minutes.
If she believes that livestock are the primary reason for substandard conditions on Nevada’s public lands, why is she so eager to get rid of the horses?
Craig Downer suggested that Reserve Design was the better way but was cut off for exceeding his time limit.
Another person commented on the WHB budget, PZP and public-lands ranching, claiming at 3:13:50 that permitted grazing is a right.
How do you know it’s not a right? The government can take it away. That’s why it’s called permitted grazing.
Comments starting at 3:22:00 pertained to the original statute, resource management and principal use.
Additional remarks can be found in an article dated March 12 by Nevada Current.
Video cued up to the mark. Just hit Go.
