Antelope-Triple B HMAP Proves Advocates Are Ill-Informed About Wild Horses

Go back and read the recommendations published in September by Save Our Wild Horses, an affiliate of Wild Horse Education.

Item 1: Initiate HMAPs promptly, with at least two started per district by year-end, as mandated by 43 CFR 4710.1 with a deadline of 1-year for completion.  Enforce strict adherence to HMAP requirements to maintain ethical, humane, and legal standards in wild horse management practices.

For the Antelope and Triple B Complexes, this means

  • Forcible removal from their lawful homes
  • Application of fertility control pesticides
  • Adjustment of sex ratios in favor of males
  • Castration of stallions
  • Acceptance of forage allocations

Speaking about their conference in Reno and the ideas flowing therefrom, the president and founder of Wild Horse Education said in a news release “We were also able to dispel the long standing myth that advocates are ill-educated on the subject and, hopefully, our words will be taken into thoughtful consideration.”

You betcha.

Even the casual observer now realizes that they want the ranchers to win.

  1. Proposals by Blm, we’re always starting point. As far as the conference, there was people from all over the country that came to learn from experts based on science. Horse education was not the organizer of this conference. This is a group of advocates that decided they want to come together to learn and engage and try to start making some difference. Those who disagree what have you done?

    1. Thank you Linda. I was there to educate myself and the speakers were very knowledgeable and informative. I will go again if I am able.
