The breeding population in a wild horse herd should consist of at least 50 animals to maintain genetic diversity according to section 4.4.6.3 in H-4700-1.
This can be accomplished in populations ranging from 150 to 200 animals or more.
The advocates are telling their political allies that genetic diversity will be satisfactory if the herd contains at least 150 animals, evident in S1377.
This is a subtle but critical deviation from the recommendation.
The guideline applies to reproducing populations.
The advocates think reproduction is a defect of nature, to be cured with fertility control pesticides.
Breeding, not mass sterilization, assures genetic diversity, which disappears as they ruin the mares with their phony vaccines.
A herd of 500 would not be large enough.
Stay away from the advocates, they’re not who they say they are.
