It’s not about healthy horses on healthy rangelands as suggested in the September 26 blog post, it’s about ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses, sometimes referred to as achieving and maintaining AMLs.
The advocates stopped playing for the home team years ago. Today, they support the effort through their darting programs (first part of schedule).
Ranchers perform the task in Oregon.
In herds where field-darting is not practical, the BLM will capture the animals, provide the treatment and return them to the range. These incidents have been marked “CTR.”
The column did not indicate how much forage had been assigned to livestock in the areas targeted for removal, which would allow you to decide by calculation if they’re really overpopulated.
FY25 begins on October 1.
