Exposing the Hypocrisy, Lies and Incompetence of the Wild Horse Advocates
The bill requires an appropriation of $555,000 in FY 2025-26 to help manage the state’s wild horse population according to the statement.
It allows the Department of Agriculture to start an immunocontraception program and creates a wild horse advisory committee.
Funding for a wild horse preserve was not discussed.

It’s a nonreproducing herd, and the males are actually geldings, but an article by the Craig Press refers to them as stallions.
“While the stallions are the big flashy ones that do all the big bites and everything, it’s those older mares that are really the bosses, and nobody crosses the boss mare.”
That might be true at the refuge but it’s not true in the wild, despite all the fairy tales you’ve heard from the advocates.
Problem is, it’s getting harder and harder to find herds that are truly wild.
Many in the public eye, especially those chronicled on socialist media, have been decimated by the government or ruined by the advocates.
To its credit, the refuge is based on the right concept—purchasing a base property and flipping the preference to horses—but the numbers fall short of the ideals.

This undated video begins with a view to the south, looking across Saguaro Lake into the Goldfield Allotment.
The horses come off the beach and run north into the Sunflower Allotment.
We know the Salt River advocates would never throw in with the ranchers so there must be some other reason they’re sterilizing the mares with PZP.

Minutes from yesterday’s meeting have not been posted to their website but a story by Colorado Politics suggests they would, based on their Year One Report.
The bill would transfer the program from the state-owned non-profit to the Department of Agriculture while protecting the funding according to the article.

Remember last April, at the Save Our Wild Horses Conference in Reno, when they were higher than a kite on HMAPs?
Now that the plans are rolling out, they’ve developed a bad case of amnesia.
Consider the Pancake HMAP, just released. It’s discussed in Appendix XIII of the Final EA for management actions in the Complex.
This must be good for the herd because it doesn’t include aerial shooting.

The river flows westward through a mountainous area in the Tonto National Forest until it reaches Saguaro Lake.
Along the way, it passes the Sunflower Allotment to the north and the Reavis, Tortilla, Superstition and Goldfield Allotments to the south.
Then it flows west southwest through Goldfield before crossing into BIA land.
The Saguaro WBT overlaps the southern portion of Sunflower but it is inactive, the equivalent of an HA on BLM land.
Sunflower is permitted for cattle according to the ArcGIS viewer.
Reavis, Tortilla and Superstition are vacant and Goldfield has been closed.
In years past, wild horses were spotted around the lake, including the Butcher Jones Recreation Area at the southern edge of Sunflower.
They can also be found at Coon Bluff and the Phon D Sutton Recreation Area, both of which are at the western end of Goldfield.
Robbing forage from Sunflower livestock would be unacceptable but there are probably fences keeping them out of that area so there must be some other reason the advocates are sterilizing the mares with PZP.
Here’s a simple pass/fail test:
If the answers are No, they represent victory for the ranchers and failure for the horses.
Most sanctuaries fall into this category, which is why the advocates like them.
The project includes deeded acreage in the Buckeye and Pine Nut allotments, which overlap the Pine Nut Mountains HA.
The Authorization Use Report shows they’re permitted for cattle and sheep.
Bottom Line: It’s in an area where livestock are welcomed but horses are not.

Velma’s first encounter with the horse runners occurred 75 years ago.
The Virginia Range was ground zero.
Today, it is the site of the world’s largest mass sterilization program, an insult to her legacy and harbinger of changing attitudes toward wild horses—among those who claim to be their voices.
Women have always been at the forefront of the movement but today’s women are not like those of 1950.
They’re liberals—anti-God, anti-life and anti-family.
For them, wild horse preservation came of age with the advent of PZP, a restricted-use pesticide that sterilizes mares after five years of treatment.
That aligned with their wicked ideology and explains what you see today.

The Decision Record authorizes the Proposed Action, discussed in Section 2.2 of the Final EA, which calls for wild horse removal by helicopter or bait.
Map 1 in Appendix 1 shows the project area.
All documents have been copied to the project folder.
There are no plans to treat any of the mares with fertility control pesticides and return them to the range.
A roundup does not appear on the latest schedule.
The news release said that appeals can be submitted through April 7.

Liberals view reproduction as a defect of nature, an illness to be cured, not a vital part of existence and gift from God.
Thus, their obsession with abortion, contraception and sterilization.
They project these evils onto wild horses as a humane solution to a man-made problem, furthering the ranching agenda.
Their followers line up like clapping seals.
Don’t be fooled by their propaganda.
They are public enemy #1 of America’s wild horses.
