The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal and staunch opponent of principal use, reported today that 91 mares received 93 doses of PZP during the month, 13 given as primers and 80 as boosters.

Over the life of the program, which began in 2019, the advocates have pummeled 2,064 mares with 9,860 doses of the pesticide, for an average of 4.8 doses per mare.

The epicenter of the program is in and around the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, listed as USA Parkway in the page 3 chart.

Since the beginning of the year, 161 foals have been born and 54 died.

The current population is thought to be 3,501 with 299 horses listed as missing, compared to 3,515 with 302 horses listed as missing in August.

The population was 3,548 with 311 listed as missing in July and 3,521 with 302 listed as missing in June.

The Year 6 agreement with NDA has not been posted to the darting resources page.

The Year 5 summary has not been posted to the monthly reports page.

A goal for October is to maximize booster treatments so the herd will continue to shrink and to complete the training of newly certified darters.

Not discussed in the September update:

• Long-term population goal
• Number of viable mares
• Size of breeding population
• Loss of genetic diversity
• Changes in death rate and sex ratio
• Unlawful use of pesticides

The report will be submitted to the Nevada Department of Agriculture.

You can’t poison their water holes per 18 USC 3 §47, a common practice before 1959.

Today, the advocates poison the mares with Zonastat-H, a restricted-use pesticide that tricks their immune systems into attacking their ovaries.

The ranchers are also involved, but they prefer GonaCon Equine.

Their methods may differ but their goal is the same: Ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses.

It’s not about healthy horses on healthy rangelands as suggested in the September 26 blog post, it’s about ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses, sometimes referred to as achieving and maintaining AMLs.

The advocates stopped playing for the home team years ago.  Today, they support the effort through their darting programs (first part of schedule).

Ranchers perform the task in Oregon.

In herds where field-darting is not practical, the BLM will capture the animals, provide the treatment and return them to the range.  These incidents have been marked “CTR.”

The column did not indicate how much forage had been assigned to livestock in the areas targeted for removal, which would allow you to decide by calculation if they’re really overpopulated.

The advocates say that wild horse adopters should not receive cash incentives because they turn the process into a money-making venture, with some animals ending up in slaughter.

Similarly, the advocates should not be given financial support because it fuels their obsession with pesticides, primarily PZP.

Instead, they should be given vouchers for treatment at Betty Ford clinics or similar institutions, where they can be deprogrammed and educated in basic math, rational thought and intellectual integrity.

You’re seeing cow poop where you previously saw horse poop.

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal and staunch opponent of principal use, pursues the Virginia Range mares relentlessly.

The PZP darting program, now in its sixth year, has moved into the sterilization phase, which may explain why it hasn’t posted the Year 6 agreement with NDA to its darting resources page.

It may contain terms like “tipping point” and “no looking back,” as its adherents lucture you about the safety and reversibility of the pesticide.

This bogus advocacy group will do anything to win the approval of the bureaucrats and ranchers, including total herd destruction.

He assumed the role at the end of the 56th Annual Meeting according to a September 20 news release.

As a role model for the industry, his allotments meet or exceed standards for rangeland health.  Right?

The Operator Information and Allotment Information reports at RAS tied him to these authorizations and allotments, all in the Royal Gorge Field Office.

• 0502003 – WEST BOX CANYON
• 0503694 – HAYDEN RANCH
• 0503746 – BEAR CREEK
• 0505292 – HOWARD CREEK
• 0505310 – MAVERICK GULCH

The Allotment Master Report provides management status, acreage and active AUMs.

The operation is on the small side, putting the new president in the figurehead category.

All of the public acres are in the Improve category, which should be an embarrassment to PLC.

The parcels support livestock equivalent to 70 wild horses, with an average stocking rate of 4.8 animals per thousand public acres.

The bureaucrats and ranchers tell us that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (27,000 animals on 27 million acres), which should bring more embarrassment.

The advocates, defeated a long time ago and now in their camp, bolster the narrative with their darting programs.

So says one of their leaders in today’s news release on PRN.

Judge for yourself.

They’ve published a list of recommendations for the BLM covering ethical and effective wild horse and burro management.

It was developed at the SOWH Conference in Reno where there was no condemnation of the Virginia Range mass sterilization program, despite its proximity to the hotel-casino.

The page includes a form that will add your name to the signatories.

Western Horse Watchers offers the following suggestions as a starting point for meaningful discussion.

• Confine the ranchers to their base properties in a year-round off season
• Restore the WHB Act to its original form
• Neutralize the influence of farm bureaus, stock grower’s associations, public lands councils and wildlife groups on government
• Acquire base properties as they come on the market and flip the grazing preference to horses or burros
• Keep the pesticide pushers off the public lands

A guiding principle in the SOWH recommendations is that they could be implemented without any changes to policy and law.

The cover letter was not addressed to anyone in the Department of Agriculture, which is responsible for wild horses and burros on Forest Service lands.
