Exposing the Hypocrisy, Lies and Incompetence of the Wild Horse Advocates
The executive director of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses teams up with the founder of an equine-assisted empowerment program for a column in the Daily Montanan that targets wild horses while giving cover to the public-lands ranchers.
You’ll never guess where the therapy sessions occur.

He came into the world that we might be saved from eternal damnation.
If the government was going to remove the horses with helicopters, there’d be outrage.
But the Proposed Action will get rid of them with GonaCon or PZP.
Silence.
In both cases, the management plan assigns four times more forage to privately owned livestock than the horses.
The advocates don’t oppose the removals, only the way they are carried out.
What about the resource allocations that prompt them?
More silence.

They do not allocate resources. They do not change resource allocations. They enforce resource allocations already on the books.
The problem is upstream in the management process.
The ‘Path Forward,’ and its army of supporters, ignore this reality.
For livestock, words.
For horses, darts.
Which species do they think is the problem? Which one is overpopulated?
Your Christmas giving should not include them. They are wrong about almost everything in the wild horse world.

Per news release dated December 22:
The agreement between the ISPMB and the Forest Service also declared the burros should be horses as free-roaming and wild on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest’s 616,000 acres. As a result, ISPMB believes these horses cannot be removed from this area.
You thought inflation was a problem.
The price of hay has been climbing steadily since the summer.
Now, the number of HMAs with fertility control programs has increased to 14, per the roundup schedule dated October 21, compared to 10 in the August 30 schedule.
The number of animals targeted grew by 4.6%. Overall, 24.2% of the horses allowed by plan will be treated, probably with PZP, keeping the resource scales in most of the areas tipped in favor of the public-lands ranchers for longer periods of time.
The incident began on December 20. Gather stats through December 22:
The cumulative totals include 34 stallions, 40 mares and 27 foals. On the burro side, 47 jacks, 30 jennies and 14 foals.
Youngsters represented 26.7% of the horses captured and 15.4% of the burros.
Of the adults, 45.9% were stallions and 54.1% were mares. For the burros, 61.0% were jacks and 39.0% were jennies.
Body condition scores were not reported.
The location of gather activity within the WHR is not known.
Day 3 ended with 22 unaccounted-for horses and no unaccounted-for burros.
The number of animals removed to date is 192. Mares returned to the area will be treated with GonaCon.
Operations are not open to public observation.

This article in Horse Nation, written by a senior advisor to the Animal Welfare Institute, a sponsor of the misleading Rock Springs petition, notes that livestock vastly outnumber wild horses and graze on the same public lands.
Further, the government is trying to reduce the nation’s wild horse population to just 27,000 animals, citing arbitrary AMLs that are not supported by science.
Yet it concludes with this inconsistent and unoriginal idea: The BLM should implement safe and humane fertility control methods to keep horses on the range.
If a darting program prevents 125 births in a herd of 600, it is equivalent to a roundup of 125 wild horses—every year. It does not keep horses on the range.
There is no turning over of the genetic soil, the older horses die off, and the population goes down. Exactly what the ranchers want, although on a much longer timeframe.
The wild horse world is full of charlatans.
“Stay Wild,” a favorite of the advocates, is a lie. Next to the federal government, nobody’s getting rid of more wild horses than they are.

No, Congress did.
Western Horse Watchers reminds you to think in terms of a process and to realize that the causes of roundups, adoptions, warehousing and slaughter are far upstream.
Statutes > Regulations > Policies > Plans > Programs > Procedures > Actions
Problems are solved by addressing the causes, not by treating the symptoms, a concept that has eluded the advocates for decades.
The year is almost over and while the advocates are reviewing what they did to our wild ones in 2021, Craig Downer explains in this article what can be done for them.
Regarding base properties, Western Horse Watchers believes that they are part of the solution: Confine the ranchers to their deeded acres and let them pay market rates to feed their animals, in a year-round off-season.
The proposed feedlot north of Winnemucca will support 4,000 animals on 100 acres of private property. If it works for the horses it works for the cattle.
As for climate change, Western Horse Watchers believes that it’s a naturally occurring process that’s been going on for eons and is not attributable to modern life, as the Marxists would have you believe.
They’re not interested in protecting the environment but controlling every aspect of your life. Why are you still voting for them?
Some of them were able to escape the mass extermination that started 200 years ago, according to a story by KGUN News of Tucson, AZ, and they started coming back into population.
Notably absent from the photos are the youngsters, thanks to the Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group, an affiliate of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.
The incident started today, according to the gather page, with 79 horses captured, none shipped and no deaths.

The FAA has granted a license for launching commercial rockets from coastal Georgia, according to a story by AP News. The island is known for its mansions and wild horses.
For a quick estimate, convert the AUMs in the Buckeye and Pine Nut allotments to wild horses. The Allotment Master report has the data.
Add the active AUMs and divide by 12:
Horses displaced from HA = (481 + 1,471 + 1,150) ÷ 12 = 258
Given that a small part of Buckeye overlaps the HMA, the number of horses displaced from the HA by privately owned livestock is probably around 250, maybe a bit less.
The AML in this area is zero and the advocates have supplanted the government as resource enforcers, at least for now.
They recently acquired a Jeep to make sure that none of the mares can escape their darting rifles and the fundraising effort has been dropped from their web site.
You might be able to read about it on socialist media.

This space will connect the corral, out of frame on the right in the aerial view, to the barn, out of frame on the left.
Partitions in the barn, where stalls used to be, have been removed, providing another shelter and feeding area for the horses. Overview of project in this video.

Whenever they get involved, there is no more wildness, no natural selection, no legacy.
