CPR Looks at Day 1 of Little Book Cliffs Roundup

Some of the photos suggest that the left-wing trumpet, always eager to take the government line, was given access to the operation not afforded to the public.

Contrary to a remark in the September 13 article, birth control drugs do not optimize the herd’s male-to-female ratio, they skew it in favor of females.

The condition, a result of the PZP darting program carried out by the advocates, will be corrected through selective return.

FlightAware indicates that tail number N9233F is owned by C & D helicopters of Reno.

A statement by the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses that roundups are based on a deep-rooted prioritization of ranching on public lands is true but not to be taken seriously by that group because it’s in cahoots with the bureaucrats and ranchers.

The claim in a BLM handout that removal of wild horses from public lands is carried out to ensure rangeland health, in accordance with land-use plans that are developed in an open, public process is misleading.

The land-use plans, driven by a goal of ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses, assign most of the forage to livestock.

This has been demonstrated repeatedly in the “How Many Wild Horses Can the HMA Support” and “Short End of Stick” posts (refer to sidebar on the right).

The agency does solicit public input on environmental assessments for wild horse management actions but the resource allocations are locked in.

Requests to change them are met with responses such as “Outside the scope of the process” or “Cannot be changed by a wild horse gather decision.”

Your host has not seen an invitation to comment on resource management in the rare occasion when a land-use plan is up for review.

There is no requirement in the statute that AMLs should be small relative to the available resources.

They could correspond to 100% of the authorized forage, neglecting wildlife.

But the agency won’t do that because it has been co-opted by ranching interests as many observers have noticed, even the politicians.

Foal-Free Friday, Abandoning Principal Use Edition

The advocates are some of the most outspoken opponents of principal use, a condition in the original statute regarding areas identified for wild horses and burros.

Today, roughly half of their land is managed primarily for livestock and the other half is managed principally for livestock.

The distinction is in the forage allocations.

In the HMAs, livestock receive around 80% of the authorized AUMs while in the HAs they receive almost all of them, allowing a small percentage for wildlife.

Like HMAPs and roundups, fertility control pesticides don’t change these numbers, they enforce them.

Thus, it is true that the advocates do not protect wild horses and burros, they protect the bureaucrats and ranchers.

Seventh Annual Devil’s Garden Roundup Announced

The incident will begin on October 28 according to a September 10 news release by the Modoc National Forest.

The capture goal is 500.  The removal goal was not stated.

The current population is somewhere between 651 and 998 wild horses.

Operations will be open to public observation on a limited basis.

The Forest Service hired the contractor who abused a horse in the Blue Wing roundup.

The WHT covers about 258,000 acres and is subject to permitted grazing.

Davis Fire Expected to Grow to North, West

Conditions will be favorable today for movement of up to seven miles according to a story by the Reno Gazette Journal.

As of yesterday, the fire had burned around 5,700 acres and was 31% contained.

The projected track, parallel to the Virginia Range, does not appear to increase or decrease the threat to the mustangs.

The impact on the PZP darters, who are trying to convince the bureaucrats and ranchers that mass sterilization is a practical alternative to motorized removal, is not known.

Fundraiser for Sunny Hills 24

Advocates with Wild Horse Connection, still denying any responsibility for the roundup, will hold an estate sale this weekend to provide food and shelter for the horses until they find new homes, according to an ad on Craigslist.

Western Horse Watchers estimates the cost of hay for 24 former wild horses to be around $3,600 per month.

Criteria for Choosing the Winner in Tonight’s Presidential Debate

For Harris to win, she must

Which one is a symbol of liberty and which one is a symbol of tyranny?

Keep in mind that Project 2025 was created by The Heritage Foundation, not the Trump campaign.

McCullough Fundraiser Set for September 14

Advocates with Friends of a Legacy need your help.

They’re fighting back against genetic diversity, natural order and principal use.

Their primary weapon, PZP, doesn’t grow on trees.

Join them this Saturday for the ninth annual Mustang Rendezvous.

Proceeds from the event will support their mission to protect and preserve the wild horses of McCullough Peaks, illustrated in the photo below.

Refer to this article by The Cody Enterprise for more information.

You can’t take the advocates at face value.

They’re not who they say they are.

They want the ranchers to win.

Tensions Mount Ahead of Little Book Cliffs Roundup?

Contrary to the remarks in a September 10 article by The Colorado Sun, all parties involved are on the same page.

The author’s bio says she loves to write about agriculture and ranching, the driver of wild horse roundups, but apparently there has been a falling out.

A representative of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal, said the incident, set to begin tomorrow, rejects published science and persistent calls from the governor and state lawmakers to delay the roundup in favor of in-the-wild conservation, a codeword for destroying the herd with PZP.

Advocates with Friends of the Mustangs, applicators of the pesticide, will help the BLM decide which horses stay and which ones go.

And the ranchers whose allotments surround the HMA, not mentioned in the story, are cautiously optimistic about the future and the prospects of fewer wild horses leaving the reservation in search of greener pastures.

They may be giving money to the nonprofits.

BLM allotments in the state support livestock equivalent to 49,546 wild horses on 7,448,367 public acres, or 6.7 wild horses per thousand public acres.

Davis Fire Not Growing Despite Zero Percent Containment

Some reports, such as this one from KOLO News, say the size has been trimmed to approximately 4,700 acres but InciWeb still says 6,500.

One way to tell if videos of running horses were filmed near the Virginia Range is the absence of youngsters, thanks to the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses and its army of nitwits.

Davis Fire Now on InciWeb

The site initiated coverage last night.

  • Cause not determined
  • Zero percent contained
  • 1,500 acres burned

A report by Carson Now indicates wild horses moving near Geiger Grade, the main road from south Reno up to the Highlands.

Your host received another email from NV Energy saying that power had been restored, hopefully to the entire area.

Davis Fire Threatens Virginia Range Mustangs?

The fire is burning on the west side of I-580 near the intersection of Highway 431.

The 8:53 PM update by KTVN News says the Virginia City Highlands, an area in the hills to the east frequented by the horses, is under an evacuation warning, probably due to the risk of secondary fires caused by wind-driven embers.

Your host received an email this evening stating that NV Energy, a white-flag company, has de-energized the circuit that serves the area.

There is no public water supply up there.  Everybody is on a well.

If you don’t have backup power, good luck protecting your property.
