Exposing the Hypocrisy, Lies and Incompetence of the Wild Horse Advocates
The daily reports stopped yesterday, with 213 excess horses forced off their home range.
None of the captured animals were returned to the JMA and no deaths were reported.
As of today, the BLM has not issued a news release on the subject.

It’s not about about evidence, it’s not about witnesses and it’s not about due process.
It’s about the Supreme Court and what happens to the liberal agenda when the Six Million Dollar Justice passes on to her eternal reward.
You see, there are some things in this country, such as the fundamental transformation, that are too important to be left to the voters.
Just ask the residents of Laramie County.

Refer to this story by The Washington Post, a publication known for its left-wing editorial bias and unabashed support of the liberal agenda.
The president and CEO of HSUS called the $21 million conditional authorization a “great start.” The VP of government affairs for NCBA complained that the amount was less than he hoped for but said it was a “good start.”
How would the article be written if wild horse eradication and public-lands ranching were enterprises of the Right?

Refer to this report by Associated Press, posted today. The legislation, which goes into effect tonight, keeps the federal government afloat through September 30 of next year.
The non-defense bill provides a hefty down payment on the disastrous ‘Path Forward.’
Oregon’s most infamous public-lands ranchers have lost their grazing privileges, again, thanks to federal court ruling, according to a report posted today by Associated Press.
The ranchers were convicted of arson in 2012 for a fire they started on federal lands.
They claimed it was to stop the spread of invasive weeds but prosecutors said it was to destroy the remains of deer they killed illegally.
The resentencing of the Hammonds sparked the Malheur Incident in early 2016, which led to the death of a public-lands rancher from Arizona.

The horses weren’t federally protected but they were killed just the same. Here’s a recap of similar incidents on federal lands since the summer of 2018:
In these cases, each count carries a penalty of one year in prison and a fine of $2,000.

UPDATE: The reward is now $15,000 according to a story by the Washington Post.
KNAU Radio of Flagstaff, AZ said today that the appropriations bill approved yesterday by the Senate bars the Forest Service from euthanizing healthy wild horses and burros and selling them for slaughter.
Congress had prohibited the BLM from lethal control of the animals but the ban did not extend to the Forest Service until now, according to the report.
You can’t have a conversation about wild horses without having a conversation about privately owned cattle and sheep, which the government refers to euphemistically as ‘other users’ of public lands (3:27 in this video).
The forage allocated to livestock on public lands in the western U.S. would support at least 750,000 wild horses, enough to empty all of the ‘warehouses’ fifteen times over.
On the Challis HMA, recently gathered, the management plan assigns 80% of the forage to domestic livestock.
At Saylor Creek, soon to be gathered, the ranchers receive 95% of the forage!
The WHB Act, which appears at 3:15, has been amended several times at the behest of the ranchers and no longer affords the protections sought by Velma.
The roundups, corrals, contraceptive darting, sanctuaries, preserves, adoption events and training programs seen in the video reflect that reality.
There is no wild horse crisis on western rangelands, only the deceit and greed of the public-lands ranchers and their allies in government.
It’s one of the best examples of crony capitalism you could ever hope to investigate.

Initially it was $500 but now it’s $5,000, according to a story appearing today in People.

The measure passed by a 71 to 23 vote, according to a story by Associated Press, which includes $21 million for an aggressive wild horse population reduction strategy. Go to Division D, Title I in the HR 1865 text.
The President said he would sign it before tomorrow’s midnight deadline.

The folks at PERC published a commentary earlier this week claiming responsibility for the $1,000 adoption incentive, describing it as a market-based solution that gets horses out of holding facilities and into real homes.
Why are they in holding facilities? Because they compete for water and forage with other wildlife.
Yep, wildlife. Privately owned cattle and sheep were omitted from the story.
So are they guilty of sloppy research or are they shills for the public-lands ranchers?
Why haven’t they proposed market-based solutions to the ranching problem?

The votes for impeachment were 230-197-1 on the first article and 229-198-1 on the second, according to a report posted this evening by Associated Press.
The remains of fifteen free-roaming horses have been found near a strip mine in Floyd County, according to report posted yesterday by WYMT News of Hazard, KY. They were apparently hunted down and shot with a small caliber rifle.
The reward for information about the case is growing, as donations pour in from around the country.
Six hours of debate began shortly after noon EST. You can watch it here.
Almost certainly the brave and loyal Democrats who control the House were able to resist the lobbying pressures of the ranching cabal, but were overwhelmed by the underhanded tactics of oil, mining and timber companies.
That’s why HR 1865 contains $21 million for an aggressive population reduction strategy for America’s wild horses and burros. Control comes later.
Now the bill moves to the Senate, also dominated by liberals, and on to the President, who can only accept it or reject it. No line-item veto.
The non-defense appropriations bill, HR 1865, carried by a vote of 297 to 120, according to a report in Yahoo Finance, presumably with $21 million allocated to “an aggressive, non-lethal population control strategy” for America’s wild horses and burros.
The legislation will be put to a vote in the Senate tomorrow.

Regarding the ‘Path Forward,’ the bill obligates the BLM to develop a “an aggressive, non-lethal population control strategy” for wild horses and burros.
The plan must include:
The bill also includes the customary $10 million for range improvements, to be funded by grazing receipts. Yep, approximately 80% of those fees are plowed back into the program every year, to make life better for the public-lands ranchers.
