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.
