A story by The Virginian-Pilot says the advocates will not be sharing the names of foals and will use more discretion when sharing the names of the adults, another indication they are worried about the viability of the herd, a problem they caused.
A herd of approximately 100 should produce around 15 foals per year, more than enough to overcome the loss of five to six adults to natural causes.
The low number of foals suggests the herd is shrinking, perhaps irreversibly.
You will never hear the advocates criticize PZP darting programs because their livelihoods as NGOs depends on them.
If the pesticide was taken off the market they’d have nothing, no reason to exist.
The herd has survived on its own for hundreds of years, as stated in the report, but it cannot survive the advocates and their stupid ideas.
