HR 3656: Windfall for Advocates, Bad for Wild Horses

As the Democrat Party becomes more radical, anti-God, anti-life and anti-family, so do the wild horse advocates.

It’s almost as if they’re joined at the hip.

In their transition to full-time pleaders for the public-lands ranchers, they’ve abandoned any pretense of caring for the horses and now peddle mass sterilization as a practical alternative to helicopter roundups.

Their demonstration projects at the Salt River and Virginia Range are not designed to slow population growth but to reverse it.

This can only be accomplished by extensive use of the pesticide, which will result in sterilization of the mares and irreversible decline of the herds.

If signed into law, the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2023 would ban helicopter roundups and increase demand for alternative methods because it does not change the resource allocations and management priorities that drive the removals.

The advocates would be waiting in the wings to spread the serpent’s venom across the fruited plain, with the ranchers coming out on top in the long run.

Imagine Congress passing a bill that puts your competitors out of business and gives you monopoly control of the industry.

That’s HR 3656.
