The advocates, led by the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, are trying to prove that the Montana Solution is a viable alternative to motorized removal.
Behind the effort is a belief that there are too many wild horses on public lands in the Western U.S., that the bureaucrats are correct, and that the animals need to be removed from their lawful homes (in favor of privately owned livestock).
This view is held almost universally across their cohort.
As stated previously, the AML of the wild horse and burro program would have to be increased from roughly 27,000 to nearly 189,000 to match the resource loading of the grazing program.
The land can support many more animals than the government admits, enough to empty all of the off-range corrals and long-term pastures several times over.
But the advocates are undeterred.
They continue to pummel the Salt River and Virginia Range mares with ovary-killing pesticides in the hope that the bureaucrats and ranchers will see the world their way.
Then they can spread the poison to other areas, at a complete loss of whatever credibility and legitimacy remain, along with the herds themselves.
They are phonies, leaders of the blind, unworthy of your financial support.
