Motorized removal provides quick but temporary relief from the pests.

Nonmotorized removal provides lasting results but requires patience.

Shooting, practiced by rogue elements in the population while your faithful public servants look the other way, provides the best of both worlds.

Quick results, permanent relief.

Protection, conservation and preservation are codewords for long-term use of fertility control pesticides, with the inevitable result of permanent infertility and herd collapse.

If you’re a hunter or rancher, know that the advocates are on your side and are more than deserving of your financial support.

The meeting begins at 9:00 AM Pacific time on June 11.

The notice includes a link for online access.

Public comments will be taken after the call to order.

Hopefully questions will be raised about the Virginia Range fencing project and its effect on the horses.

The animal industry report, not yet posted to the meetings page, may offer a vague update on the mass sterilization program.

Your host visited the area on June 4 and saw no wild horses at the higher elevations, in sharp contrast to the period before 2019 when the NDA allowed the pesticide pushers back on the range.

The following video is from June 2018.

Western Horse Watchers believes the advocates are underreporting (lying about) the reduction in herd size and the long-term effects of the program.

If you’re a hunter or rancher and want to support an uncharitable organization opposed to wild horses, look no farther than the advocates.

The event was held on a weekday, according to the BLM news release, when many people are at work.

Good thing, because income taxes keep the scam going.

Wild horses come off the range and go into feedlots.

Livestock come out of the feedlots and go on the range.

The government spends about $6 per day to care for a horse in a feedlot while it collects a little over 5¢ per day for a cow-calf pair on the range, losing about $5.95 per day per horse in captivity.

The facility currently houses over 1,200 horses according to a report by KIVI News, racking up a deficit of $2.6 million per year.

If the Trump administration is s serious about reducing government spending, why hasn’t it killed the grazing program or at least asked Congress to cancel it?

Five individuals were charged with malicious injury to property and ordered to pay $5,000 each to permittees affected by loss of water according to a BLM news release.

The incident occurred in August 2023.

Interesting how cases involving injury to ranchers are solved while those involving injury to wild horses are not.

The name of the allotment and a link to the NEPA review for the range improvements were not given.

The agency signed a MOU with the Boone and Crockett Club to improve access to public lands for hunting, angling and wildlife conservation according to a May 27 news release.

The nonprofit will work with 14 other groups to identify opportunities and solutions.

The club issued a statement on April 2 calling for the essential use of roundups and expanded sale opportunities to protect Western rangelands and native wildlife from wild horse and burro overpopulation.

“When on-range populations exceed the land’s carrying capacity, they don’t just compete with native wildlife like elk, mule deer, and pronghorn; they fundamentally alter the landscape.”

That remark reflects a complete misunderstanding of the way federal agencies manage the resources on public lands or a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.

Consider this example from the Warm Springs HMA in Oregon.  Who’s stripping away most of the forage—by design?

The AML tells you almost nothing about resource availability, carrying capacity and management priorities in the HMA.

Wild horse advocates would likely oppose the club’s demands but would see its concerns as an opportunity to sell more pesticides.

The announcement did not indicate if the club had a similar agreement with the BLM.

The Salt River advocates have thrown their support behind SB1199, a bill that would place a moratorium on wild horse removals while researchers conduct a genetic viability study to determine how many animals are needed for a healthy breeding population.

As if the herd was still viable.

To give your assent, you must disavow all knowledge of their actions, especially the fertility control program that has morphed into a mass sterilization program because it has outlived the window of reversibility.

There’s still time to act!

If the legislature formed a truth commission, here’s what they’d find:

• The herd is toast
• The advocates have been lying about PZP
• The only way to restore genetic diversity is to introduce mares from other areas

The advocates want you to think they’re the good guys.

They shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near wild horses.

The new executive director, who replaced Roy last year on November 1, discusses her plans for salvaging the nonprofit (which is still held in high regard by most advocates).

At 10:40 she mentions a seven-page document with individuals whose material they would not post to socialist media.

At 20:35 she says “We need to be focused on who is the real problem” but omits the cattlemen and sheepherders from her list of culprits.

How are you supposed to win the battle when you won’t even acknowledge the enemy?

The Stockdale Paradox comes to mind:

You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

The BLM has not yet identified an immunocontraceptive method that has been proven to reliably and humanely sterilize wild mares according to the Silver King EA, published earlier this week (page 136 in the pdf).

An oocyte growth factor vaccine is currently under testing for its ability to cause long-term infertility or, potentially, sterility.

As for the approved methods, “Mares that received 5 or more doses of ZonaStat-H vaccine have been shown to have reduced ovarian function, and to be effectively infertile for life (Nuñez et al. 2017), and it is conceivable that the contraceptive effects of repeated treatment with GonaCon-Equine may last longer than a mare’s lifespan, depending on the mare’s age at treatment and the number of doses received (Baker et al. 2018, 2023).”

Researchers at Purdue are working on a formulation that does the job with one shot.

The advocates, evil beyond imagination, are not waiting for scientific breakthroughs.

They’re demonstrating the feasibility of mass sterilization at the Salt River, Virginia Range and elsewhere.

The pesticides do not kill horses, as stated on page 15 of the EA, they kill herds, much to the delight of the ranchers and their political allies.

They need a way to make their lies seem plausible.

The faulty hypothesis is the sperm-blocking theory.

If you stand in the rain with an umbrella, you don’t get wet.

If you set it aside, you get wet.

Hold it up, you stay dry.

Let it down, you get wet.

The umbrella blocks the rain.

Here’s how PZP really works.

If you hold up the umbrella for an hour, you can let it down for an hour before you get wet.

If you hold it up for two hours, you can let it down for two hours before you get wet.

If you hold it up for at least five hours, you can get rid of it.  You won’t get wet no matter how long the storm lasts.

The umbrella made you impermeable.

The distinction between the “historically accepted hypothesis” and a “complementary hypothesis,” which asserts that impermeability is the result of damaged or destroyed ovaries, is discussed on page 135 (138 in the pdf) of the Silver King EA.

Why would Larry Don Suckla, a Colorado Republican, be so interested in a bill crafted by liberals, signing on as a cosponsor?

Because he runs cattle in Gypsum Valleys, a short distance from the Spring Creek Basin HMA.

The bill, if signed into law, would help the state buy pesticides to beat the horse populations down in favor of livestock.

The allotment master report puts Gypsum Valleys in the Improve category, suggesting that your stewards of the public lands are not taking their responsibilities seriously.

The allotment offers 1,777 active AUMs on 41,187 public acres, equivalent to 3.6 wild horses per thousand public acres.

The target stocking rate across all HMAs is one wild horse per thousand acres.

Above that, rangeland health will suffer according to your faithful public servants.

Yet they allow almost four times as many animals per public acre in Gypsum Valleys, another example of management duplicity.

As for Suckla, he’s probably sending Christmas cards and birthday greetings to TJ Holmes, the rangeland eugenicist at Spring Creek Basin.

This column has always been dedicated to the wild horse advocates, who are wrong about everything, especially the importance of reproduction to herd survival.

How can you start a nonprofit and attract a large following yet be so out of touch?

As a gentle reminder of their errors, add comments to their socialist media pages about the consequences of their darting programs, such as abnormal sex ratios, injuries and infections, increasing death rates and loss of genetic diversity.

Links to anything on Western Horse Watchers would be most unwelcome.

It won’t change their minds but it might dissuade others from joining their movement.

The product may break the cycle of mother bears teaching their cubs to break into houses according to a report by the Tahoe Daily Tribune.

In keeping with established practice, the article refers to it as a vaccine, not a pesticide.

It’s not clear if the writer consulted with the wild horse advocates, who use it to stop mares from teaching their foals to survive in the desert.

The story pointed to MOUs with departments of agriculture in Arizona and Nevada, a reference to the mass sterilization programs at the Salt River and Virginia Range, showing that partnerships with state agencies are possible.

Curiously, a representative of the Billings School of PZP Darting and Public Deception said the advocates weren’t trying to decrease the population of black bears, just prevent them from teaching their cubs to break in.

There is a problem with their plan, however: PZP is not approved for use on bears.

A 2017 labeling amendment expanded its scope to white-tailed deer and other cervids but not to ursids.

So not only will the advocates at Lake Tahoe need to get certified at Billings, but they’ll also need to convince the EPA that the pesticide is suitable for bears.

It’s not the cranky toilet.

It’s not the long journey to the moon, which took twice as long as the Apollo missions.

It’s the prevalence of women at NASA, especially in the control room.

If it works on jacks and jennies it will work on fillies and colts.

The news releases are almost identical:

• BLM
• Forest Service

The memorandum of understanding, signed by both agencies, will strengthen coordination, cut bureaucratic red tape and deliver immediate, tangible support for America’s farmers and ranchers who rely on public lands.

The vacant allotment finder may be one of the first achievements of the partnership.

“By working closely with American ranchers, we are enhancing communication, investing in innovation, and modernizing our approach to land management practices,” according to Secretary Burgum, “to deliver real results for the people who feed and sustain this country.”

Yep, if it wasn’t for them we’d all be vegans.

The aim of the grazing program is to ensure that high-net-worth individuals receive generous government benefits, often at the expense of America’s wild horses and burros, with no means testing and no expiration dates.
