History of Consent Decree and Rock Springs RMP Amendments

Three interesting characteristics of the in-depth article by WyoFile:

  • The author did not include remarks from the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a departure from established practice when writing about wild horses
  • He did not imply that drillers and miners were the greatest threat to said animals
  • He did not try to sell mass sterilization as wild horse conservation

However, he did give considerable airtime to Christi Chapman, co-founder of the Wyoming Wild Horse Improvement Partnership, who, according to an undated brochure posted by the state legislature, was raised in a ranching lifestyle, received a formal education in soils and livestock production and has worked in the agriculture industry for over 20 years.

Volunteers with WYWHIP are certified in the remote delivery of PZP and are active in the Stewart Creek HMA, earning the nonprofit a spot on the list of charlatans.
