Today marks the beginning of 40 days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving ahead of Easter.

It’s also Velma’s birthday.

Beware of the charlatans and their false promises.

They are phonies, leaders of the blind, irrelevant.

What will happen now that the incentive has been abolished?

• Roundups will continue
• Wild horses and burros will still be offered for adoption
• Adoptions will decrease
• Off-range holding will increase

The government will need new ideas to keep the populations in check.

Who will be waiting in the wings to provide those services?

Those who brought the lawsuit.

Totally self-serving.

Should this be construed as an endorsement of the bill?

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal and fierce opponent of principal use, wants to replace helicopter roundups with mass sterilization, abnormal sex ratios and faulty immune systems.

Velma would be horrified.

NOTE: If you’re trying to pass yourself off as a voice for wild horses, an endorsement from CAAWH is like an endorsement from Elko County.  It is an albatross, the kiss of death, as is the case for Wild Horse Fire Brigade.

Seems like the agency has become more secretive since the inauguration.

Similar observances are held throughout the year at the Salt River, Spring Creek Basin, Pine Nut Mountains, Sand Wash Basin, Little Book Cliffs, McCullough Peaks, Cedar Mountain and Onaqui Mountain, just to name a few.

Refer to the AdvocateSpeak decoder.  Words have different meanings in the wild horse world, so NHPD could be rebranded as:

• Interfering with the transmission of life day
• Nonmotorized removal day
• Help the advocates buy more pesticides day
• Managing principally for livestock day
• Protecting the ranchers day
• Off the range day

The governor of Colorado made it effective for an entire month.

Then he went back to scandalizing the faithful.

In his February 26 opinion, District Court Judge John Tuchi agreed that removal of wild horses from the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest without the proper notice frustrated the mission of the Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group but did not result in diversion of its resources as originally claimed.

The advocates have 14 days to amend their complaint, showing how actions by the Forest Service, or lack thereof, resulted in diversion of their resources, otherwise the case will be dismissed.

The Court did not question the group’s mission, which, according to the ruling, is to protect wild horses, manage them humanely and rescue them for placement in good homes, even though there is abundant evidence to the contrary.

They, in association with the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, are destroying the Salt River herd with PZP, a restricted-use pesticide that sterilizes females after five years of treatment.

The program is now moving into its seventh year.

The BLM org chart shows a vacancy in the director’s slot.

A note from the Forest Service chief indicates he’s retiring effective March 3.

Cost cutting is often accompanied by restructuring.

The resolution asks Congress to establish federal protections for wild horses at Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Congress established Cape Lookout in §459g of 16 USC 1 SUBCHAPTER LXIII.

Protections for the horses appear in §459g–4.

The AML is hard coded in §459g–4(b)(1).  Probably not a good idea for TRNP.

Provisions for monitoring and reporting are worthy of consideration.

Entering into an agreement with a nonprofit would be a bad idea if the NGO was obsessed with pesticides and nonmotorized removal, as many are today.

The park should be exempted from the multiple use mandate which the bureaucrats interpret as ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses.

Repatriation of the original wild horses, thought to be descendants of Sitting Bull’s ponies, should be a priority.

Rush Limbaugh explains the behavior in this video from 1996.

The advocates love to schmooze with their rangeland partners, telling them how many mares they’ve ruined and which herds are near the tipping point.

Until it’s time for a fundraiser, when they have to interact with their supporters.

Then it’s back to cherished/beloved/innocent/treasured/iconic/majestic wild horses as they try to separate them from their money.

One way to trigger the advocates is to talk about keeping wild horses on the range.

It sounds crazy—they’re supposed to be voices for the horses.

But they’re not.

Most are obsessed with pesticides, overpopulation and nonmotorized removal.

You might get blocked if you leave comments on their Facebook pages about

• Management at the minimum feasible level
• Nature’s way
• Principal use
• Lopsided forage allocations
• Repurposing allotments as refuges
• Bringing grazing fees in line with market rates

They might come unglued if you talk about mass sterilization, abnormal sex ratios, loss of genetic diversity and selection for faulty immune systems, the inevitable results of PZP darting programs.

If they won’t welcome you into their fold, point out their hypocrisy and treachery, shake the dust from your sandals and leave.

Why would you spend $10 million for 5,000 deeded acres when you can spend $10 million for 5,000 deeded acres plus 25,000 public acres?

Base properties give you more value for your investment, get livestock off the public lands and put wild horses back on the range where they belong.

It’s not apparent to the untrained eye.

But it’s occurring across the American west, as the advocates sterilize the mares and birth rates fall irreversibly below death rates.

In this example from the Salt River, the white horse at 1:42 shows a subtle indicator of their involvement.

The Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group works closely with the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.

They’re using PZP to reduce wild horse populations, with the inevitable result of mass sterilization.

The technique was pioneered at Assateague Island, where, as of last year, the herd was still shrinking eight years after the darting program was shut off.

The advocates sell it as a humane alternative to motorized removal, claiming the pesticide is safe and reversible.

The Public Lands Council represents cattle and sheep producers who hold grazing permits on public lands across the western U.S.
