Won’t you chip in so they can buy more PZP?

Suppose you adopt a mom-baby pair at one of the BLM off-range corrals, captured earlier this year in a wild horse roundup.

How much does the on-range population change?

What is the change in resource loading?

How many public acres were conserved?

Zip, zero and zilch, respectively.

So why would the writer of an opinion piece in today’s edition of The Nevada Independent peddle wild horse adoptions as conservation?

Because they free-up space in the corrals, allowing more horses to be taken off the range, conserving resources for the public-lands ranchers.

The author forgot to mention them.

“The equines generally inhabit rugged, remote, arid landscapes where they compete with mule deer, pronghorn, sage-grouse and other wildlife for water and forage.”

There aren’t many predators in those areas because they have been minimized in the name of animal agriculture.

Public lands in Nevada can’t support 38,000 wild horses and burros but they can support livestock equivalent to 173,000 wild horses.

The Property and Environment Research Center advocates for market solutions to conservation so let’s put labels on range-fed beef saying it was produced on public lands at the expense of America’s wild horses and let consumers pick the winners and losers.

You’ve seen them stapled to telephone poles in residential areas.  Missing dogs too.

But Trump forgot to mention horses, which are taken for their meat, as discussed in this post from February 2023.

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal and stalwart opponent of principal use, will host the event on September 19 at the Buffalo Club in Santa Monica.

Tickets start at $250.

Didn’t get an invitation?

PZP isn’t cheap and your pathetic donations won’t even get you a Christmas card.

Some of the photos suggest that the left-wing trumpet, always eager to take the government line, was given access to the operation not afforded to the public.

Contrary to a remark in the September 13 article, birth control drugs do not optimize the herd’s male-to-female ratio, they skew it in favor of females.

The condition, a result of the PZP darting program carried out by the advocates, will be corrected through selective return.

FlightAware indicates that tail number N9233F is owned by C & D helicopters of Reno.

A statement by the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses that roundups are based on a deep-rooted prioritization of ranching on public lands is true but not to be taken seriously by that group because it’s in cahoots with the bureaucrats and ranchers.

The claim in a BLM handout that removal of wild horses from public lands is carried out to ensure rangeland health, in accordance with land-use plans that are developed in an open, public process is misleading.

The land-use plans, driven by a goal of ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses, assign most of the forage to livestock.

This has been demonstrated repeatedly in the “How Many Wild Horses Can the HMA Support” and “Short End of Stick” posts (refer to sidebar on the right).

The agency does solicit public input on environmental assessments for wild horse management actions but the resource allocations are locked in.

Requests to change them are met with responses such as “Outside the scope of the process” or “Cannot be changed by a wild horse gather decision.”

Your host has not seen an invitation to comment on resource management in the rare occasion when a land-use plan is up for review.

There is no requirement in the statute that AMLs should be small relative to the available resources.

They could correspond to 100% of the authorized forage, neglecting wildlife.

But the agency won’t do that because it has been co-opted by ranching interests as many observers have noticed, even the politicians.

Advocates with Friends of a Legacy need your help.

They’re fighting back against genetic diversity, natural order and principal use.

Their primary weapon, PZP, doesn’t grow on trees.

Join them this Saturday for the ninth annual Mustang Rendezvous.

Proceeds from the event will support their mission to protect and preserve the wild horses of McCullough Peaks, illustrated in the photo below.

Refer to this article by The Cody Enterprise for more information.

You can’t take the advocates at face value.

They’re not who they say they are.

They want the ranchers to win.

Contrary to the remarks in a September 10 article by The Colorado Sun, all parties involved are on the same page.

The author’s bio says she loves to write about agriculture and ranching, the driver of wild horse roundups, but apparently there has been a falling out.

A representative of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal, said the incident, set to begin tomorrow, rejects published science and persistent calls from the governor and state lawmakers to delay the roundup in favor of in-the-wild conservation, a codeword for destroying the herd with PZP.

Advocates with Friends of the Mustangs, applicators of the pesticide, will help the BLM decide which horses stay and which ones go.

And the ranchers whose allotments surround the HMA, not mentioned in the story, are cautiously optimistic about the future and the prospects of fewer wild horses leaving the reservation in search of greener pastures.

They may be giving money to the nonprofits.

BLM allotments in the state support livestock equivalent to 49,546 wild horses on 7,448,367 public acres, or 6.7 wild horses per thousand public acres.

The map at Nevada Fire Info shows an increase in area over the past 24 hours but the legend tells you the acreage is less.

In a similar way, the advocates tell you they love wild horses as they poison the mares with ovary-killing pesticides.

The fire is burning on the west side of I-580 near the intersection of Highway 431.

The 8:53 PM update by KTVN News says the Virginia City Highlands, an area in the hills to the east frequented by the horses, is under an evacuation warning, probably due to the risk of secondary fires caused by wind-driven embers.

Your host received an email this evening stating that NV Energy, a white-flag company, has de-energized the circuit that serves the area.

There is no public water supply up there.  Everybody is on a well.

If you don’t have backup power, good luck protecting your property.

They’re poisoning the mares with PZP and praying for the older horses to die.

They’re skewing the sex ratios in favor of females.

They’re inflicting injuries and infections.

They’re driving the breeding populations into the single digits.

They don’t care about genetic diversity.

They want the ranchers to win.

Yet they write columns and opinion pieces painting themselves as disciples of Velma.

Consider the article starting on page 15 of the August edition of Horse Tales.

It was written by a trained PZP darter and close supporter of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal.

The column ends with a remark about wild horses being mistreated and removed from their homes by the very people put in place to protect them.

Is she talking about the BLM or herself and fellow travelers?

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal, reported today that 141 mares received 141 doses of PZP during the month, 27 given as primers and 114 as boosters.

Over the life of the program, which began in 2019, the advocates have pumped 9,767 doses of the pesticide into 2,058 mares, for an average of 4.7 doses per mare.

Since the beginning of the year, 154 foals have been born and 44 died.

The current population is thought to be 3,515, with 302 horses listed as missing, compared to 3,548 with 311 horses listed as missing in July.

The population was 3,521 with 302 horses listed as missing in June and 3,502 with 310 horses listed as missing in May.

The loss of 24 wild horses in the Sunny Hills fiasco was not discussed.

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 September 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 August 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.

They’re very clever at concealing the truth from their supporters.

Beware of the wild horse advocates.

RELATED: If You Want to Help the Ranchers Give Money to the Advocates.

In its flagship darting program on the Virginia Range, the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses is sterilizing the mares with PZP, a restricted-use pesticide that tricks their immune systems into attacking their ovaries.

As wild horse numbers go down, another species is moving in to fill the void.

Are you surprised by this?

The advocates talk about cherished/beloved/innocent/treasured/iconic/majestic wild horses but their actions tell you it’s the ranchers they love.

Why are you still giving them money?

RELATED: Foal-Free Friday, He Said – She Said Edition.

The August 25 guest column in the Las Vegas Sun reads like an advertisement for the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses and its pest control services.

Did she write it or just sign it?

The underlying belief is that there are too many wild horses in the western U.S. and they need to be removed.  Humanely, of course.

The statement about abuse during the Blue Wing roundup is over the top.

CAAWH released the video not to help wild horses but to draw attention to itself and its ruinous darting programs.

Of interest to its opponents is the remark about the cost of fertility control, “$1,320 for five years of treatment compared to around $48,000 for life in long-term holding.”

Why did they say five years?  Why not for life?

Because the mares don’t recover after five years of treatment.  They’re sterile.

The advocates won’t admit it, preferring to say the mares are self-boosting, a result that can’t be achieved with helicopters and wranglers.

RELATED: If You Want to Help the Ranchers Give Money to the Advocates.

That’s according to BLM State Director Doug Vilsack.

He wants to make the state’s wild horse program an object of celebration, not by allowing the animals to flourish in their lawful homes, but by shooting the mares with pesticide-laced darts.

Once herd numbers have been stabilized at appropriate levels, “then I think it’s going to get fun because we can sit down and think about, you know, what else can we do now that we have sustainable populations, how can we work on tourism opportunities for people to come see these horses?  That would be a fantastic place to get to, to really be sitting down and thinking about how we can celebrate the wild horses and get beyond some of the controversy that we’ve seen when we do these gathers,” he told a reporter with The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel.

Only the ranchers, not mentioned in the August 25 article, will be celebrating.

A keyword search of the story yielded these results:

No bias here, no attempt to hide the truth.

The writer and his employer are not shills for the public-lands ranchers.

The herds are managed exactly as Velma and the 92nd Congress intended.

The advocates, represented by the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses and Wild Horse Connection, wanted you to think they were the good guys, victims, and the NDA and its wranglers were the bad guys for removing 24 Virginia Range mustangs from a construction site in Reno.

This is nonsense.  Both sides, working together since 2019 to exterminate the herd, knew what would happen if the rescue failed.

The advocacy groups rank among the lowest and sleaziest of the nonprofits.
