The Arizona Department of Agriculture will reopen the RFP soon according to a story by Phoenix New Times but a date was not given.
The article looks at the incumbent and one of its challengers, a group led by historian John Mack and Forest Service contractor Jacquelyn Hughes.
Hughes was involved in the removal of wild horses from the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in 2022.
Simone Netherlands of the Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group suspects the contract will go to the group that proposes the smallest population goal.
That will raise questions in some circles about genetic diversity but the point is moot when most of the mares have ruined by PZP.
