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.

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.

The listing on High Country News expired but it’s now running on the Conservation Job Board.

Imagine that, they’re soliciting an exterminator on a conservation web site.

Maybe they should hire a recruiter to poach one from the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses or an affiliate.

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.

Western Horse Watchers brings you the truth about wild horses, resource management and the Love Triangle on America’s public lands.

RELATED: Socialist Media Update for April 2024.

A story by KFYR News says “the park service has agreed to leave the horses where they are and to follow their existing environmental assessment,” which means they’ll enforce the current management plan, limiting the herd to 60 or less.

This is like throwing a fresh piece of meat to the advocates.

As of today, the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses has not posted the Year 6 Agreement with NDA to its darting resources page.

The summary for Year 5, which ended on April 30, has not been posted to the monthly reports page.

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.

So says a report by KPHO News of Phoenix.

There is no greater danger to the herd than Simone Netherlands, interviewed for the story, and her band of merrymen, who are sterilizing the mares with PZP, an ovary-killing pesticide.

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.

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.

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?

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.

RELATED: Test Your Knowledge of RUPs.

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.

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.

File under: Charlatans.

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.

Won’t you join them in praying for divine intervention?

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

The Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group is an affiliate of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal.

Welcome to the Love Triangle on America’s public lands.

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.

File under: Charlatans.

PZP doesn’t reduce herd sizes, death does.

It’s an unintended consequence of motorized removal but a vital part of nonmotorized removal.

The advocates give death an unfair advantage over life.

They are imbeciles, leaders of the blind, irrelevant.

It’s not what you think it is.

It’s an opportunity to join hands with the advocates as they pray for the older horses to die, an essential part of the Montana Solution.

Although the average age of a herd increases, along with the death rate (because no new foals are hitting the ground), the process is slow compared to motorized removal—a flaw in the eyes of the bureaucrats and ranchers.

A workaround would be to add other toxins to the darts, not just to hasten equine demise, but to convince their allies that they can be as ruthless as the helicopter pilots and wranglers.

The BLM’s April 18 news release said it would appear in the Federal Register in the coming days, but a search of that site for “Conservation and Landscape Health,” the subject of the unofficial prepublication version, yields no new results.

A search of Regulations dot gov for the same term also yields no new results.

The rule would put conservation on equal footing with other multiple uses of public lands, an attempt to amend FLPMA while bypassing the people’s representatives.

The principal or major uses of public lands are limited to domestic livestock grazing, fish and wildlife development and utilization, mineral exploration and production, rights-of-way, outdoor recreation and timber production according to the statute.

You know the rule is bad for the country and good for our enemies because it was promulgated by liberals.

In a similar way, you know an idea is bad for wild horses if the advocates promote it.

The current population is 326 and the AML is 178 according to the 2024 HA/HMA Report.

Of course they should go, if you’re an advocate.  The HMA is overpopulated.

Best way to being the numbers down is nonmotorized removal, also known as humane management or in-the-wild management.

Mind not required.

Consider these data from a 2018 EA for population management in the HMA (page 17 in the pdf).

The forage allocation for horses tells you the AML was 2,424 ÷ 12 = 202, which is consistent with the HMA page but not the HA/HMA Report.

The forage allocation for livestock tells you the HMA supports cattle equivalent to 19,392 ÷ 12 = 1,616 wild horses, so the True AML is 202 + 1,616 = 1,818 which far exceeds the current population.

The horses can stay.

Mind required, plus a sincere desire to help wild horses.

The advocates have neither.
