Group Attempts to Block Sale of Devil’s Garden Horses

The Animal Legal Defense Fund has asked a federal judge in San Francisco to stop the sale without limitation of wild horses gathered from the Devil’s Garden Plateau WHT in October and November, according to a report filed today by Reuters.

The Forest Service announced last month that it would delay the process until February.

How the Mustang Ranch Got Its Name

Original location was on Peri Ranch Road, about a mile east of Lockwood, NV, along the Truckee River.  The abandoned structure appears at 0:35 and 0:58 in this video by roobyroo2000.  Even today, the place is vistited by the Virginia Range mustangs.

Current location of the brothel is a few miles to the east, at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, also inhabited by the Virginia Range mustangs.

Interesting bit of history but the activities that occur there are damnable.

Paiute Roundup Snares Privately Owned Horses

Personnel from Cattoor Livestock Roundup, Inc., a contractor hired by the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, removed privately owned horses from privately owned land last week during a tribal horse gather.  The area, known as Palomino Valley, lies between Sparks, NV and Pyramid Lake.

The roundup was prompted by a fire last summer that reduced the forage available to livestock and horses, according to a report dated 01/08/19 by the Reno Gazette Journal.

A woman affected by the roundup said the tribal government and the Nevada Department of Agriculture haven’t acted to address people’s concerns.  “All of these people want to deny accountability because they don’t care.”

The agencies that surveyed the damage and recommended the action would have pushed for it anyway, because they, along with their contractors, view these animals with dripping contempt.

PZP Zealotry on a Global Scale

Video by the Botstiber Institute for Wildlife Fertility Control, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation of the animal kingdom, the Population Bombers of the wild horse world, spreading the serpent’s venom across the land.

They don’t allow comments on their YouTube channel.  Are they worried that someone might disagree with them?

The video provides a ‘who’s who’ of contraceptive advocacy on western rangelands.

Illinois Sanctuary Finds Homes for ‘Excess’ Wild Horses

Refer to this story, published today by St. Louis Public Radio, an NPR affiliate (and probable conduit of Marxist propaganda).  Includes audio.

While the efforts of the owners are commendable, they are too late, too far downstream in the process.  They guarantee more horses will be removed from western rangelands, because they focus on symptoms, not on causes.

This is also true for the PZP zealots, who think shooting wild mares in the ass with contraceptives is the answer.  It is not.  It is capitulation to the anti-horse agenda, assent to the wild horse narrative.

Advocacy must be aimed at keeping these animals on the range.

That means pushing back against the public-lands ranchers and those at the BLM and Forest Service who coddle them.  Same for land managers at the state level.
