You could argue that the advocates have abandoned the idea of principal use and have accepted the goal of ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses, sometimes referred to as achieving and maintaining AMLs. Examples include:
- Reinforcing policies and plans that drive the removals
- Monitoring for humane treatment during the removals
- Picking up the pieces after removals
- Developing alternate methods of removal
- Lobbying for alternate methods of removal
- Lying about alternate methods of removal
Whether it’s HMAPs, videos of abuse during roundups or legislation that promotes the use of pesticides, the wild horse and burro program still operates as a grazing program ancillary, keeping the pests in check so ranchers can access most of their food.
Stay away from the advocates, they are the old guard, leaders of the blind, irrelevant.
