Remember last April, at the Save Our Wild Horses Conference in Reno, when they were higher than a kite on HMAPs?
Now that the plans are rolling out, they’ve developed a bad case of amnesia.
Consider the Pancake HMAP, just released. It’s discussed in Appendix XIII of the Final EA for management actions in the Complex.
- Area will be managed for 336-638 wild horses
- Gather and remove excess animals to reach low AML as soon as possible
- Apply fertility control pesticides and/or IUDs to released mares
- Maintain a sex ratio of 60% males and 40% females
- Bring in mares from another HMA if genetic diversity declines
This must be good for the herd because it doesn’t include aerial shooting.
