Foal-Free Friday, Bringing Them Up on Charges Edition

The 12:30 PM session on Day 3 of the Wild Horse Summit deals with wild horses, federal agencies and violations of existing laws.

Western Horse Watchers does not know if the presentation will cover the unlawful use of PZP and GonaCon Equine by the agencies and NGOs.

PZP is usually applied to herds that are said to overpopulated, interfere with animal agriculture or pose safety hazards to motorists, none of which are approved uses of the pesticide.

Rules for PPE are often ignored, another example of failure to use the product as directed on the label.

Where two doses of GonaCon are applied, the mares usually receive them less than 90 days apart as specified on the label.

GonaCon Violation of Federal Law 08-05-23

One person alleged at the January WHBAB meeting that the Forest Service was giving the pesticide to stallions.

These actions do not border on criminal, they are criminal.

The November 15 edition of Foal-Free Friday tells you how to report such incidents.

Colorado Wild Horse Working Group Meets Next Week

The two-day event starts on February 6 according to an undated announcement by the Colorado Department of Agriculture.

No agenda was provided.

The legislature expects the group to recommend humane alternatives for wild horses taken off range in Colorado, the best of which is to place them back on public lands at the expense of privately owned livestock.

This can be accomplished through the acquisition of base properties tied to grazing allotments, then flipping the preference to horses.

Wild Horse and Burro Awareness Week or Off-the-Range Week?

The festivities include a burro adoption blitz according to a BLM news release.

What we need is a Love Triangle Awareness Week, highlighting the coordinated effort to remove these animals from their lawful homes in favor of privately owned livestock.

The outreach component would focus on the treachery of the advocates, management practices that benefit the ranchers and alterations to the original statute that threaten the long-term viability of the herds.

The Nation’s Champion of Wild Horse Eradication

Do not be fooled by the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.

It is not a philanthropic organization.

It serves no charitable purpose.

It is a coven of pesticide pushers and ranching sympathizers whose mission is to sell mass sterilization as wild horse conservation.

The arrangement could include censorship of dissenting voices, a necessary step when you’re trying to convince the American people that you have all the answers when in fact your methods are known for barren mares, abnormal sex ratios, faulty immune systems and irreversible decline.

New Year, Same State

While the new president works on the next state of the union address, Western Horse Watchers offers the following assessment of the wild horse world:

It’s not the poor advocates pushing back against the bureaucrats and ranchers, it’s the bureaucrats, ranchers and advocates trying to get rid of the horses.

Once you understand that, everything else makes sense.

When Should You Support a Wild Horse Refuge?

You don’t necessarily have to look at the inner workings of the project.

You can make a first-pass assessment by finding out what others say about it.

For example, if the advocates like it, you probably should avoid it.

If Elko County likes it, stay away.

If the Public Lands Council condemns it or the Coalition for Healthy Nevada Lands opposes it, you might want to dig a little deeper.

The Colorado Wild Horse Working Group announced in its Year One Report that it was looking at options for a wild horse refuge so that might be a case to watch.

CAAWH Goes Dark on Virginia Range Darting Program

Both the darting resources page and monthly reports page have been scrubbed.

They were so proud of it at the WHBAB meeting.

Better Way 10-25-23

These charlatans want more transparency from the federal government but they don’t want you looking over their shoulder as they wipe out one of the largest wild horse herds in the American west.

How Does Wild Horse Refuge Rate as a Wild Horse Refuge?

The former Rio Ro Mo Ranch covers over 18,000 deeded acres, has grazing preference on approximately 3,500 public acres and does not overlap any areas identified for wild horses.

Thus, it meets requirements 1, 2 and 4 but not 3.

Wild Horse Refuge Scorecard 01-16-25The land ratio is too low.

You want more leverage, more value for your investment, more livestock pushed off the public lands.

New Documentary Looks at Wild Horse Roundups

The film’s title is “America’s War on Wild Horses and Burros,” according to a story by KOLO News.

There is a war, but it’s not being prosecuted on behalf of the American people.

The beneficiaries are hunters and ranchers.

The advocates are the foot soldiers, firing pesticide-laced darts at will.

Air support is provided by the legacy contractors.

Federal agencies coordinate the attacks, with input from state and local officials.

Animals not killed in battle will spend the rest of their lives in concentration camps.

Will any of this be reflected in the film?

The article did not provide a link to the trailer or director’s website.

Salt River Advocates Can’t Get No Respect?

Poor babies.

They don’t deserve any credit.

They should not be paid.

They’re destroying the herd with ovary-killing pesticides.

The Other Mass Sterilization Program 01-13-25

The Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group is an affiliate of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal, supporter of the Path Forward and fierce opponent of principal use.

The Path Forward: They Hated It Before They Loved It

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in mass sterilization and fierce opponent of principal use, has flip-flopped on the issue.

Consider this archived Q&A from 2019 in which they described the plan as dangerous.

Today, they like it.

At last week’s WHBAB meeting, the executive director told the Board that she embraces it, an overture to the ranchers and ranching sympathizers sitting thereon.

The goal was—and still is—ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses, sometimes referred to as achieving and maintaining AMLs.

Status of Virginia Range Sterilization Program?

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal, supporter of the Path Forward and fierce opponent of principal use, has not posted reports for October, November and December to its Virginia Range darting page.

These frauds want more transparency during roundups, such as cameras on helicopters, but don’t want you looking over their shoulder as they destroy entire herds.

AMLs Not Artificially Low?

If the bureaucrats assign forage to livestock in areas identified for wild horses, the AMLs are artificially low.

They represent the number of horses allowed by plan, not the number of horses the land can support.

For example, the Little Colorado HMA supports livestock equivalent to 3,750 wild horses and has an AML of 100.  It could go as high as 3,850.

The AML is artificially low, carefully chosen to protect ranching interests, not wild horses.

Proponents of animal agriculture want you to think that AMLs represent a physical limit, such as the speed of light, not an administrative limit.

This line of thinking drives the roundups and darting programs.
