When Will Virginia Range Advocates Hit Ten Thousand?

Yesterday’s report put the total at 9,332 doses of PZP given to 2,030 mares since 2019, consisting of 2,517 primers and 6,815 boosters.

The field workers apply about five doses per day, rain or shine, so the goal should be reached in (10,000 – 9,332) ÷ 5 = 134 days, or about 4.5 months.

The October report should be the winner.

The mares will have received five doses apiece, enough to send the herd into irreversible decline like Assateague Island.

This is how the advocates save wild horses.

Virginia Range Darting Update for May 2024

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal, reported today that 189 mares received 192 doses of PZP during the month, 41 given as a primer and 151 as a booster.

Over the life of the program, which began in 2019, the advocates have pumped 9,332 doses of the pesticide into 2,030 mares, for an average of 4.6 doses per mare.

Since the beginning of the year, 119 foals have been born and 16 died.

The current population is thought to be 3,502, with 310 horses listed as missing, compared to 3,519 with 370 listed as missing in April.

The population was 3,480 with 353 horses listed as missing in March and 3,444 with 338 listed as missing in February.

The agreement with NDA was extended for a sixth year effective May 1 but it has not been posted to the darting resources page.

The goal for June is to shrink the herd by maximizing booster treatments to prevent pregnancies (and praying for the older horses to die).

Not discussed:

  • 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

PZP tricks the immune system into destroying the ovaries.

After five years of treatment, the birth rate will no longer be able to keep up with the death rate and the herd will slide into irreversible decline.

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

TIME Looks at Wild Horse Politics

The BLM has been captured by the cattlemen according to the June 3 report.

They look at the horses as pests, something to get rid of, and something that infringes on the ranchers.

So do the advocates and their political allies, not mentioned in the article.

They want to get rid of them with PZP, a restricted-use pesticide that tricks the immune system into destroying the ovaries.

Better Way 10-25-23

“Despite the mythologies of the West, herd management is done more by aircraft than lasso these days.  And it’s often handled by the same companies intent on making room for their own cattle to roam, a twisted insiders’ game that lets the giant mega-ranchers cash in not just on flying the helicopters that clear the area, but then again with pennies-on-the-dollar deals to allow private cattle and sheep to graze on public lands.”

“The money behind it seems like a loop between bureaucrats, ranchers, and their helicopter pilots in a closed system that nefariously protects cattle and sheep at the expense of horses.”

Nobody wants to pick a fight with the ranchers, especially in an election year.

They have strong sympathy among voters, which should be easy to change.

Public-lands ranching is government dependency and redistribution of wealth, hallmarks of socialism, which most Americans reject.

No more gravy train, no more sucking on the government teat.

NDA Extends Virginia Range Mass Sterilization Program

The Animal Industry Report for the June 4 BOA meeting indicates on page two that the agency entered into a sixth-year non-exclusive cooperative agreement running from May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025.

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses operates the search-and-destroy mission on their behalf.

Protect Wild Horses from Advocates 08-29-21

With a dwindling breeding population and growing number of nonviable mares, the tipping point is now within reach, where a decreasing birth rate cannot keep up with an increasing death rate, and the herd slides into irreversible decline like Assateague Island.

This is what the advocates bring to the table, a strategy that appeals only to hunters, ranchers, bureaucrats and their lunatic followers.

Traffic from Facebook and Twitter accounted for 5.0% of the total during the month, down considerably from the same period two years ago.

Did you know the stocking rate of the grazing program is seven times higher than that of the wild horse and burro program?

To put the wild horse and burro program on par with the grazing program, you’d have to increase the AML from approximately 27,000 to nearly 189,000.

You didn’t hear that from the advocates.

With many of the mares at risk of sterility, now is the time to finish the herd off and win the approval of the bureaucrats and ranchers.

Florida Rep Introduces Bill to Conserve Wild Horses?

The Wild Horse Integrity and Slaughter Prevention Act would reduce adoption wait times and criminalize the transfer of wild horses and burros to foreign jurisdictions for commercial processing, according to a story dated May 28 by The Floridian.

The relationship to the SAFE Acts (House | Senate) is unknown.

The wait time for adoption may refer to titling, which currently requires a year.

The measure likely corresponds to HR 8541, introduced on May 23 and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.

To the advocates, conservation denotes mass sterilization with ovary-killing pesticides.

CBD Brings Another Complaint Against Salt River Horses

The Center for Biological Diversity has filed a second lawsuit against the Forest Service seeking a drastic reduction of the population according to a story dated May 28 by KPNX News of Phoenix.

A link to the complaint was not provided.

Personnel with the Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group are reducing the population with PZP, a pesticide that tricks the immune system into destroying the ovaries.

Simone Neterlands with Darting Rifle 09-02-23

With few if any new foals hitting the ground, the average age of the herd is increasing, along with the death rate.

The tiny breeding population will no longer be able to keep up with attrition and the herd will implode, just like Assateague Island.

Why can’t CBD be patient and let the advocates have their way?

Best Way to Separate You from Your Money

PZP, sometimes referred to as the Montana Solution, is a restricted-use pesticide, meaning it can only be applied to _________ wild horses.

a.) Cherished

b.) Beloved

c.) Innocent

d.) Treasured

e.) Iconic

f.) Majestic

The correct answer is None of the Above.  The advocates use these terms to make you think they’re helping the horses instead getting rid of them.

Foal-Free Friday, Replacing Life with Death Edition

The advocates oppose motorized removal because of injuries and deaths that occur during capture, sorting, transportation and off-range holding.

They could push back against the causes of roundups—policies and practices designed for ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses—but they don’t.

Instead, they invite death, the object of their criticism.

They snuff out new life with PZP, a restricted-use pesticide that tricks the immune system into attacking the ovaries, and hope for the older horses to die.

Like the bureaucrats and ranchers, whose approval they seek, they’ll never let the herds fill their niche and manage themselves.

They are phonies, teachers of the law, leaders of the blind.

What Sets the Advocates Apart?

Refer to the first part of the latest schedule for nonmotorized removal of wild horses on BLM lands.

With the exception of those in Oregon, these programs are not run by anti-horse groups such as Protect the Harvest, Public Lands Council or the Coalition for Healthy Nevada Lands.

They’re not run by the legacy contractors such as Cattoor, Sampson and SunJ.

They’re run by the advocates, who claim to be voices for the horses.

High Desert Strategies runs the programs in Oregon, a collaborative effort between local ranchers and the BLM.

The advocates won’t speak out against it because they’re doing the same thing.

Everything is going according to plan.  The birth rate is almost zero.

If they are to convince the bureaucrats and ranchers that removal by pesticide is a viable alternative to removal by helicopter, the older horses need to die.

While you’re at it, throw them a few bucks so they can buy more poison.

An Open Letter to the Wild Horse Advocates on Mother’s Day

We know you’re frauds.

We know you’re obsessed with pesticides.

We know you’re in cahoots with the bureaucrats and ranchers.

We know you want the ranchers to win.

Stop taking money from well-meaning individuals who actually care about the horses.

Publish your donor lists.

Stop referring to cherished wild horses when you mean pests.

Stop saying mares living longer when you mean abnormal sex ratios.

Cut the “Stay Wild” crap when you mean “Stay Barren.”

Stop complaining about genetic diversity and inadequate herd sizes when you’re driving the breeding populations into the single digits.

Stop saying in-the-wild management when you mean nonmotorized removal.

Stop calling them vaccines when you know they’re pesticides.

Stop calling them reversible when you know they destroy ovaries.

Stop saying conservation when you mean eradication.

Stop saying protection when you mean sterilization.

Stop saying preservation when you seek total herd collapse.

Stop talking about families as you snuff out new life.

Stop looking to their future while you’re praying for the older horses to die.

Stop talking about keeping them in balance with their environment when most of their food has been given to the ranchers.

Today, you’re celebrating sterility, not fertility.

You give death an unfair advantage over life, and your allies appreciate what you do.

Happy No-Mothers Day.
