Coalition Asks Wildlife Board to Support Anti-Horse Agenda

The Douglas County Advisory Board to Manage Wildlife took no action at its February 27 meeting regarding a letter prepared by the Coalition for Healthy Nevada Lands, Wildlife and Free-Roaming Horses, according to a story dated March 1 by The Record-Courier of Minden, NV.

A copy of the letter, seeking a reduction of wild horses on public lands. was not included in the report.

Advocates attending the meeting came not as spokesmen for the horses but as defenders of humane management.

They noted that the Coalition pushes for the removal of wild horses to the point they would no longer be genetically viable, yet that’s exactly what they’ve done with their ruinous darting program.

Although there are around 80 wild horses in the Fish Springs herd, Western Horse Watchers suspects the breeding population is now in the single digits.

The sex ratio is likely skewed in favor of females.

The number of viable mares is unknown.

The Pine Nut advocates receive material support from the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, leader of the blind and recognized expert in nonmotorized removal.

Advocates Bawling About Removal of McCullough Filly

They say she’s too young to be separated from her mom, according to a story dated March 2 by Cowboy State Daily.

Are they upset because the government is getting rid of the horses and not them?

Getting Rid of Wild Horses Is Our Job 10-14-23

The article said the youngster was taken on February 22 but the report for that day shows no foals captured or removed.

Most folks in the horse world would not refer to a six-month-old female as a mare.

The Allotments Tell the Story: They’re Lying, All of Them

Public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres according to the bureaucrats, ranchers and advocates (27,000 animals on 27 million acres).

A corollary is that public lands in the western U.S. can only produce 12 AUMs per year per thousand acres.

But in case after case, the latest being the base properties offered by Harry Ranch, the data show otherwise.

The allotments tied to those parcels produce enough forage to sustain from five to seven times as many wild horses.

This is the dirty little secret of rangeland management.

The roundups, darting programs and outplacement services are not necessary.

They were contrived to protect the ranchers.

Consider the undated infographic for the WHB program in FY23, especially the list of new partners at the bottom of page one.

They are defeatists, pesticide pushers and ranching sympathizers.

How do you oppose the juggernaut?

Use their own data against them.

That means having a basic understanding of the National Data Viewer, the Allotment Master Report and some simple arithmetic.

The other option is to throw in with the Love Triangle and kiss the herds goodbye.

Voices of Defeat 03-01-24

Are you surprised that it was posted to a site controlled by the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses?

The underlying assumption is that wild horses and burros need to be removed from their lawful homes (in favor of privately owned livestock).

This is the sound of defeat, a defining characteristic of wild horse advocacy.

Western Horse Watchers would rather see the WHB Act restored to its original form, the ranchers confined to their base properties and the advocates banned from areas identified for wild horses and burros.

Foal-Free Friday, Scribes and Pharisees Edition

They love to be greeted with respect in the marketplace and to be called “Teacher.”

They love the best places at festivals and the reserved seats at conferences and seminars.

They do everything for show.

On the outside they appear to be good but on the inside they’re full of hypocrisy and lies.

They boast about their conservation and rescue efforts but when you’re not looking, they’re poisoning the mares with ovary-killing pesticides.

They’ll do anything to win the approval of the bureaucrats and ranchers, including the sterilization of entire herds, such as those at the Salt River and Virginia Range.

They want the ranchers to win.

They are the wild horse advocates, the old guard, leaders of the blind.
