The bureaucrats, ranchers and advocates want you to think there’s not enough food and water for wild horses on America’s public lands, thereby justifying their removal.
It’s all bullcrap, as discussed earlier this week for public lands in Wyoming and a few weeks ago for Nevada.
The off-range corrals, adoptions and long-term pastures are part of the ruse.
Resource availability is already known. There’s no need for scientific studies.
Most of the forage has been assigned to the public-lands ranchers and this can be quantified with the reports at RAS.
With those numbers in hand, you can estimate the True AMLs, compare them to the current AMLs and show others how the horses are getting the short end of the stick.
If you did this for every HA, HMA and WHT, you’d find that all of the off-range corrals and long-term pastures could be emptied several times over by confining the ranchers to their base properties, at great savings to American taxpayers.
The decrease in grazing fees would be trivial.
