The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses oversees an innovative fertility control program on the Virginia Range according to an August 31 news flash distributed by Lucky Three Ranch.
It’s designed preserve the wild horse herd.
The advocates shoot the females with pesticide-laced darts.
After five years of treatment they become sterile.
The program is now in its sixth year.
The mares enjoy a well-deserved break from the demands of nursing and pregnancy, allowing them to maintain strong health and a steady weight.
The fillies, also targeted, thrive without the strain of early pregnancy, giving them the time they need to grow strong and healthy.
As the older horses die.
Does it make sense now?
Thank God for the wild horse advocates.
