The Decision Record authorizes Alternative 1, the Proposed Action, discussed in Section 2.2 of the Final EA.

This does not mean a roundup is imminent.

A summary of comments on the Draft EA was copied to the project folder.

The news release did not indicate how many of the 518 wild horses in the project area were actually born in the HMA.

The advocates no longer talk about the reversibility of PZP because they’ve shifted from slowing population growth to humane disposal.

You cannot use the pesticide for herd reduction, as they are doing at the Salt River and Virginia Range, without sterilizing the mares.

It’s not wild horse conservation, it’s wild horse extermination.

The incident started today as scheduled with 38 horses captured, none shipped, none released and no deaths.

Adobe Town HMA refers to the land retained in the Rock Springs RMP Amendments while the HA refers to the area ceded to the ranchers.

The appeals court decision today may force the BLM to reconsider the distinction.

RELATED: Adobe Town Roundup Pending.

The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that the BLM’s plan to zero-out two HMAs and downsize a third in the Wyoming checkerboard violated the Wild Horse and Burro Act, overturning a decision last year that upheld it.

The agency might be able to move ahead with the plan if it corrects the deficiencies according to a news release by Western Watersheds Project.

The Decision Record authorizes bait-trap removal of 44 wild horses based on a 2019 environmental assessment.

The current population is thought to be 82 adults and 12 foals.

A roundup appears on the July 1 schedule with a start date of July 1 but as of today the incident has not been added to the Idaho gather page.

The HMA is subject to permitted grazing.

The start dates for the Salt Wells Creek and Adobe Town roundups were delayed in the July 1 schedule as parties trying to stop them await a decision from the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals according to an article by WyoFile.

The June 3 schedule gave them a start date of July 15.

Wild horse removal begins tomorrow in the retained portion of Adobe Town (outside the checkerboard), while operations in Salt Wells Creek and the zeroed-out portion of Adobe Town (inside the checkerboard) are set for August 25.
