Refer to the list at ePlanning.  The numbers change minute by minute.

As of this morning, over 2,600 comments have been submitted.

There is only one document up for public review, a map.

The project would expand the 2012 Western Solar Plan from six states to eleven, among other things.

A February 7 news release indicated that an additional online meeting will be held on February 14, from 9:00 to 11:30 AM Pacific Time

Pre-registration is required.

The driver, of course, is man-made climate change, a fake problem invented by liberals to enrich the peddlers of renewable energy while imposing authoritarian control on the American people.

This is the watermelon theory of radical environmentalism: Green on the outside, red on the inside.

In the interview posted yesterday about the Wild Horse Fire Brigade, Simpson tells Sherwood that his mission is to resolve conflicts by moving wild horses from areas where they’re not wanted, sometimes referred to as their lawful homes, to remote wilderness areas not particularly suited to livestock grazing.

Not wanted by whom?

Why aren’t the horses there already?

Sherwood isn’t curious who might be backing the nonprofit and does not ask for disclosure of its supporters.

Although Simpson comes down on the right side of many issues, such as rangeland health and fertility control, he goes off the rails with WHFB.  It is a scam, exactly what the ranchers ordered.

He does not acknowledge that the conflict can be resolved and the animals can be rewilded, several times over, by confining the ranchers to their base properties in a year-round off season.

As for Sherwood, her fawning support of the project represents total defeat.

The video description, presumably of her authorship, says “The Wild Horse Fire Brigade has the only viable sensible realistic solution if we really want to save the last remaining wild horses of America.”

You just screwed up, dear, big time.

The wild horse advocates are experts at concealing their true intentions and loyalties, much like the Democrat Party.

For example, “protect wild horses” means get rid of them with the Montana Solution, leave most of their food to the public-lands ranchers.

“Humane management” means beat down the horse population with a restricted-use pesticide in their lawful home so livestock can access most of the resources.

Systematic elimination by helicopter must be replaced with systematic elimination by poison-filled darts.

Vaccines don’t prevent illness, they cause it.

Mares ruined by the treatments aren’t sterile, they’re self-boosting.

On the Virginia Range, the herd isn’t dying off, it’s aging out.

McCullough Peaks doesn’t have an abnormal sex ratio, mares are living longer.

At Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the herd should be large enough to have a healthy breeding population but breeding should be limited with a fertility control program.

Makes perfect sense.

The advocates are voices for the bureaucrats and ranchers, not wild horses.

Why are you still giving them money?

A bill introduced last week would amend Chapter 77 of the New Mexico statutes to allow free-roaming horse experts to control the population of free-roaming horses and allow the state livestock board to make rules regarding the qualifications of said experts.

Western Horse Watchers has been unable to find a news report covering the legislation.

An individual may be eligible if he or she has (1) expertise in conducting free-roaming horse herd surveys, (2) an understanding of land carrying capacity analyses, land status and property ownership, and (3) an understanding of free-roaming horse habitat, biology, behavior and management strategies, according to Section 2 of the measure.

A diploma from the Billings School of PZP Darting and Public Deception was not included in the requirements.

Failure to understand forage production, carrying capacity and resource management will rule out most advocates anyway.

A letter to INFORUM about the new management plan says the herd should be large enough to have a healthy breeding population but reproduction should be limited with PZP, not GonaCon.

If the mares can’t bear fruit, why are you worried about herd size?

If you poison them with the pesticide, as the advocates are doing on the Virginia Range, the population will need to be larger than 150.

As for other national parks where you can find wild horses, don’t forget Cumberland Island and the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.

Sadly, the herd on the Maryland side of Assateague Island, mentioned in the letter, has been ruined by a safe, proven and reversible darting program.

The article last week by Nevada Current apparently originated with an online news conference hosted by the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.  A snippet of the presentation was included in a report by KRNV News of Reno.

Was it by invitation only?  Preference was given to news outlets that would only tell one side of the story and not challenge their authority?

The event was billed as a press briefing on the Virginia Range horse program, not the Virginia Range darting program, where the advocates are systematically eliminating the herd, not with helicopters or traps, but with a restricted-use pesticide.

Kris Thompson, Project Manager for the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, who can’t see any adverse effects, applauded the effort: “You can tell by the way they walk their bellies, their hunches are muscular and full.  The ears are alert, and it’s just easy to see it’s been a real success.”

Indeed.  Destruction of the ovaries, which begins with the first injection and proceeds to sterility in four to five years, is not apparent from the outside, as noted in the January 13 edition of Foal-Free Friday.

Tracy “You need to manage the numbers to fit what’s available for the horses” Wilson said the horses are living creatures and they age out, according to a report by the Las Vegas Sun, meaning that the herd is dying off, as planned.

Suzanne Roy, monster-in-charge at CAAWH and one of the panelists, indicated that fertility control stabilizes and gradually decreases the population humanely, admitting that her goal is herd reduction, not slower growth rates, consistent with the ranching agenda and the subject of last week’s episode of Foal-Free Friday.

Neither Roy nor Wilson could convert an AML to AUMs if their lives depended on it, much less compute a forage allocation for livestock in an area set aside for wild horses.

At 300,000 acres, the Virginia Range is twice the size of your average HMA and was carrying at least ten wild horses per thousand acres before the advocates got involved.

The bureaucrats and ranchers insist that public lands in the western U.S. can only sustain one wild horse per thousand acres (27,000 animals on 27 million acres), so they want this outlier erased.

The advocates, desperate for their approval, are eager to comply.

As always, they want your financial support but not your informed opinion.
