Bait-and-Switch Not Uncommon in Wild Horse World

The advocates lure you in with remarks about helicopter roundups then ask you to give them money so they can eradicate the herds with pesticides.

File Under: Charlatans.

Non-Horse People Should Adopt Wild Mustangs?

“Let the mustang be in charge.”

Can you think of a better way to set him up for failure and put yourself at risk of injury?

The full video runs nearly two hours.

Some equestrians are as nutty as the wild horse advocates.

Advocates, Not Project 2025, Invented Humane Disposal

Lately they’ve referred to it as humane management, in-the-wild management or one of these terms:

Defending wild horses
Protecting wild horses
Preserving wild horses
Conserving wild horses
Safeguarding wild horses
Managing wild horses
Saving wild horses

They all mean the same thing: Wiping out herds with ovary-killing pesticides.

There are no helicopters, no horses falling out of trailers on the way to off-range corrals and no euthanizing animals for pre-existing conditions.

But the results are the same, with the added benefit that the herds don’t bounce back.

Montana Permit Renewals Show Abundant Forage

From the project description in ePlanning:

The Wolf Creek allotment would contain 8,253 acres of BLM administered land, 2,712 deeded acres and 640 acres of state lands. The BLM administered acreage would have 1,242 AUMs of active use, equivalent to 103 wild horses or 12.5 wild horses per thousand public acres.

Your faithful public servants insist the public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (25,500 animals on 25.6 million acres).

The Square Butte allotment would contain 5,039 acres of BLM administered land, 2,280 deeded acres and 663 acres of state lands. The BLM administered acreage would have 754 AUMs of active use, equivalent to 63 wild horses or 12.5 wild horses per thousand public acres.

The Ely allotment would contain 1,563 acres of BLM administered land and 480 deeded acres. The BLM administered acreage would have 326 AUMs of active use equivalent to 27 wild horses or 17.4 wild horses per thousand public acres.

The 7-W allotment would contain 6,201 acres of BLM administered land, 6,729 deeded acres and 640 acres of state lands. The BLM administered acreage would have 1,430 AUMs of active use, equivalent to 119 wild horses or 19.2 wild horses per thousand public acres.

The Six-X allotment would contain 10,327 acres of BLM administered land, 8,978 deeded acres and 1,920 acres of state lands. The BLM administered acreage would have 2,125 AUMs of active use, equivalent to 177 wild horses or 17.1 wild horses per thousand public acres.

The D.K. North Pasture allotment would contain 4,470 acres of BLM administered land, 13,686 deeded acres, and 640 acres of state lands. The BLM administered acreage would have 758 AUMS of authorized active use, equivalent to 63 wild horses or 14.1 wild horses per thousand public acres.

The advocates don’t want you looking at the numbers because they contradict their allies, expose the gravy train and destroy the rationale for their darting programs.
