Salt River Charade Deepens

The advocates have created a genetic bottleneck from which there is no escape.

The bottleneck event was a PZP darting program that took the herd from 450 to 270 over a period of eight years, well beyond the range of reversibility.

A helicopter could achieve the same results in eight days, but the changes would not be permanent.

Would you approve $325,000 for a genetic study if you knew the mares had been sterilized, the breeding population had been destroyed and genetic mixing had been stopped?

The money would be better spent investigating those responsible for the destruction and their acolytes, who tried—and still try—to cover it up.
