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.

B. Offer mass sterilization as a humane alternative.  Call it wild horse conservation.

C. Tacitly support the overpopulation narrative and removal of excess animals.

D. Don’t talk about shrinking herds, abnormal sex ratios, increasing death rates, loss of genetic diversity and who you’re really trying to protect.

E. Recognize your donors and volunteers for saving thousands of wild horses.

The mauling of a wild burro in southern California could represent a new way of getting rid of free-roaming equines.

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.

Yesterday the Agendas & Minutes page contained links to documents from three special meetings.

Today, it has links for March 12 only, minus the minutes.

Minutes from the September 18 special meeting put the herd size at 112 but did not indicate the number of males and females.

The number of self-boosting mares was not provided.  (Refer to the AdvocateSpeak decoder if you don’t know what that means.)

The size of the breeding population was not provided.

The effect on genetic diversity was not discussed.

Healthy mares were not darted in 2025 due to questions about the long-term effects of PZP according to comments under Action 1K (bottom of page 12 in the pdf).

In an attempt to thwart a better understanding of how the pesticide works, protocols are in place to send the uterus—not the ovaries—of any deceased mares to researchers at the Science and Conservation Center for analysis (manufacturers of PZP).

The herd area is not suitable for wild horses but the allotment that contains most of it supports livestock equivalent to 962 wild horses.

The equivalent stocking rate in the allotment is 6.9 wild horses per thousand public acres, almost seven times higher than the rate that avoids rangeland degradation (one wild horse per thousand acres according to your faithful public servants).

If the bureaucrats and advocates held a lying contest, who would win?

The project started with the donation of a ten-acre parcel according to a story by The Journal of Cortez, CO.

It’s not a base property and doesn’t have grazing privileges on public lands.

The facility reflects a shift in the group’s priorities, from keeping wild horses on public lands to ownership of displaced animals and placing them into private care.

The ranchers couldn’t be happier.

Western Horse Watchers refers to the trend as the downward spiral in wild horse advocacy, characterized by acceptance of methods that were previously eschewed.

If a proposed refuge doesn’t include public lands and doesn’t displace livestock therefrom, it’s not worthy of your support.

Not according to the law of contradiction.

1. Law of Identity: A = A, A is A.

2. Law of excluded middle: A ∪ A^c = S, everything is A or not A.

3. Law of contradiction: A ∩ A^c = ∅, nothing is A and not A.

Unfortunately, those are rules of thought.  The material world need not conform.

Consider the West Douglas Herd Area in Colorado.

A BLM spokesman said it’s not suitable for wild horses according to an article about the new roundup schedule by The Colorado Sun.

A wildfire destroyed most of their food.

But the HA lies mostly within the Twin Buttes allotment, with a small portion in East Douglas Creek, and the allotment master report for Twin Buttes shows only nine percent of the authorized AUMs in the suspended column.

The active AUMs would support 962 wild horses.

Can a fire burn some of the forage and most of the forage?

Can the land be fit for wild horses and not fit for wild horses?

The bureaucrats would have you believe that.  They’re as nutty as the advocates.

Proponents of eugenics claimed they were trying to improve genetic quality while critics said they were trying to preserve the position of dominant groups in the population.

A disproportionate number of those identified for sterilization were African American, Asian American and Native American women according to an article by Wikipedia.

The idea was to diminish those who were seen as unfit for society—the poor, the disabled, the mentally ill and persons of color.

The movement may have fallen out of favor but some practices, such as sterilization, have spread to America’s public lands.

We need to cleanse the range of certain undesirable elements that rob forage from livestock and return little if any economic benefit.

What you may not realize is that today’s eugenicists, like their predecessors, have a hidden agenda.
