Would Little Humboldt Make a Good Wild Horse Preserve?

The allotment contains an area identified for wild horses, which is unacceptable.

The ArcGIS Viewer shows the arrangement.

About 70% of the HA is managed principally for livestock.

Horses are tolerated in the HMA, the remaining piece in the northeast corner.

The allotment offers 8,279 active AUMs on 68,879 public acres according to the allotment master report, equivalent to ten wild horses per thousand public acres.

Your faithful public servants claim that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand public acres.

You don’t need to buy the base property to put wild horses back in the HA.

You just need to rid the bureaucracy of ranchers and ranching sympathizers and overturn the planning process that zeroed it out.

The advocacy groups could have special funds to acquire base properties not associated with HMAs and WHTs, opening up new spaces on public lands for wild horses.

Instead, they use your donations to buy pesticides so they can beat the horse numbers down in favor of livestock.
