The advocates point to the number of horses in off-range holding to justify their fertility control programs.
They won’t look at resource availability because those figures would show the darting programs aren’t necessary.
Remember, they’re pesticide salesman, not conservationists.
These data, from the Jackson Mountains EA, tell you why the off-range corrals are flooded with wild horses, that many animals can go back on the range, and that the bureaucrats are lying about rangeland health and the carrying capacity of public lands.
Ask the advocates to explain it.
Here’s a hint from section 3.13 in the EA regarding the Jackson Mountain allotment:
If analysis of monitoring data were to show that the carrying capacity of the Allotment differs from the carrying capacity listed in the Decision, the available forage would be apportioned in the same proportions used in the decision (18% of available forage to wild horses, and 82% to livestock).
