The people of Arizona made clear nine years ago that they wanted approximately 450 wild horses living in freedom at the Salt River.
Today, the population is somewhere around 280 thanks to the mass sterilization program inflicted on the herd by the Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group in cooperation with the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.
The best course of action would be to start a special fund to acquire a base property tied to one or more allotments in the Tonto National Forest, flip the preference to horses, and move the herd there.
But the advocates won’t do it because it might be taken as an affront by their allies and idols—the public-lands ranchers.
