Western Horse Watchers Association
Exposing the Hypocrisy, Lies and Incompetence of the Wild Horse Advocates
Opinion
The event will begin with a brief presentation by the Colorado Wild Horse Working Group about its purpose and emerging recommendations regarding fertility control, adoption and other topics, followed by public feedback.
Registration is required.
The aim of the group is to protect hunting and ranching interests by curtailing wild horse numbers with pesticides, reducing the need for motorized removal.
Despite this, two of the four HMAs in the state will see roundups in the next few weeks.
The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal, reported today that 112 mares received 112 doses of PZP during the month, 17 given as primers and 95 as boosters.
Over the life of the program, which began in 2019, the advocates have pumped 9,626 doses of the pesticide into 2,049 mares, for an average of 4.7 doses per mare.
Since the beginning of the year, 143 foals have been born and 34 died.
The current population is thought to be 3,548, with 311 horses listed as missing, compared to 3,521 with 302 horses listed as missing in June.
The population was 3,502 with 310 horses listed as missing in May and 3,519 with 370 listed as missing in April.
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 August is to maximize booster treatments so the herd will continue to shrink and to train newly certified darters with experienced team members.
Not discussed:
The report will be submitted to the Nevada Department of Agriculture.

Beware of the wild horse advocates. They are phonies, leaders of the blind, irrelevant.

As the Democrat Party becomes more radical, anti-God, anti-life and anti-family, so do the wild horse advocates.
It’s almost as if they’re joined at the hip.
In their transition to full-time pleaders for the public-lands ranchers, they’ve abandoned any pretense of caring for the horses and now peddle mass sterilization as a practical alternative to helicopter roundups.
Their demonstration projects at the Salt River and Virginia Range are not designed to slow population growth but to reverse it.
This can only be accomplished by extensive use of the pesticide, which will result in sterilization of the mares and irreversible decline of the herds.
If signed into law, the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2023 would ban helicopter roundups and increase demand for alternative methods because it does not change the resource allocations and management priorities that drive the removals.
The advocates would be waiting in the wings to spread the serpent’s venom across the fruited plain, with the ranchers coming out on top in the long run.
Imagine Congress passing a bill that puts your competitors out of business and gives you monopoly control of the industry.
That’s HR 3656.

You can ask next time you’re in Patagonia AZ.
In the meantime you can read this review by the Patagonia Regional Times.
He has everything he needs to grow up into a stallion who will one day produce foals of his own according to the herd manager and author of an article in OBX Today.
The statement is subject to the test of future experience.
The darting program has been shut off for two years but we still don’t know the number of viable mares and if genetic diversity has been compromised.
The announcement follows the death last week of a stallion who was struck by a vehicle.
Traffic from Facebook and Twitter accounted for 5.1% of the total during the month, down considerably from the same period two years ago.
Did you know that Project 2025 targets America’s wild horses and burros?
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.

No need to vet the farm bureaus, stockgrower’s associations and cattlemen’s groups.
The advocates want the horses off the range as much as the bureaucrats and ranchers.
They have a plan: To replace motorized removal with nonmotorized removal.
Forget about Velma, the 92nd Congress and principal use.
Today, they’re working alongside the legacy contractors to make sure the herds don’t bounce back.
Their long-term goal is to put the contractors out of business, or at least make them unnecessary in areas identified for wild horses, by spreading the serpent’s venom across the fruited plain.
Putting the horses out of business, a gradual process known as mass sterilization, never seems to enter the discussion.
He had been filmed a few days earlier vying for other stallion’s mares according to a report by OBX Today.
Sadly, there are other stallions in the herd that never produced any foals, thanks to the writer and her ruinous darting program, and with such a small, endangered population the ramifications of that will last for generations.
Like the imposters on “To Tell the Truth,” an early TV game show, the advocates draw your attention to themselves and away from the truth.
Unlike the celebrity panel, today’s followers don’t realize they’ve been duped.
The look on Polly Bergen’s face at 0:23 tells the story.

Toss a coin 156 times (the number of adults captured in the roundup) and see if you can get 57 or fewer heads and 99 or more tails or vice versa.
Betcha can’t do it.
The coin approximates a simple random process centered at 50% heads / 50% tails.

The full-time position pays $63,091 to $98,305 per year according to an undated job listing on Indeed.
The successful candidate will prepare and implement documents such as Gather Plans and Herd Area Management Plans, organize the gathering and removal of wild horses and burros, and provide technical direction for wild horse and burro inventories and monitoring, allotment evaluations and management plans, and environmental assessments and impact statements.
You may have to join a public-sector union whereby you will be strongly encouraged to vote for liberals.
The description does not indicate if pesticide pushers and ranching sympathizers are preferred, but that would definitely be a plus.
Tell them you decided to get rid of the horses with pesticides instead of helicopters.
They’ll walk off the picket line and offer to help.
Tell them you’d like to use PZP and they’ll offer to apply it for free, up to and including the point of no return, when most of the mares are sterile.
Beware of the wild horse advocates.
A report last week by The Arizona Republic said there were 311 horses in the herd.
The goal is 200, to be reached in ten years.
The darting program started in 2019 with support from the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses. It has two key components: Pesticides and death.
The advocates will need another seven years finish the job, assuming a zero percent birth rate and six percent death rate.
They’re not on track to hit the target.
They need a way to increase the death rate.
They’ve already driven the birth rate to zero, or nearly so, and you can count the breeding population on one hand. Genetic diversity was overrated anyway.
With few if any new foals hitting the ground, the average age of the herd is increasing so deaths should follow suit.
Still, they need other options.
Nobody spends more man-hours trying to get rid of wild horses than the advocates.

Yep, the bureaucrats put up signs designating a place for the demonstration according to a story dated July 22 by Cowboy State Daily.
You can speak freely here but not there. You can petition your government for redress of grievances in the parking lot but not at the picnic tables.
Look the photo at the beginning of the article. Are they protesting the removals or the method of removal?
If the BLM decided to get rid of the horses with PZP instead of helicopters, how many would discard their posters and offer to help?
Beware of the wild horse advocates.

They’re now claiming they can apply the pesticide as long as they want with no ill effects.
This, of course, is to give cover to their darting programs at the Salt River and Virginia Range, now in their sixth year, where they’re quietly trying to convince the bureaucrats and ranchers that mass sterilization is a practical alternative to helicopter roundups.
If you think they’re being dishonest, here are three steps you can take to cure your doubt and become one of their supporters:
1. Ignore Jay Kirkpatrick’s warning about long-term use. In a 2012 paper, he said “PZP is designed to bring about short-term infertility and is reversible, if not used beyond five consecutive years.”
2. Disavow the disaster on the Maryland side of Assateague Island, where the herd is still shrinking eight years after the darting program was shut off.
3. Ignore the experience of ISPMB, which demonstrated that Kirkpatrick was correct.
A common denominator in many darting programs is the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal.
RELATED: Advocates Discuss Better Way (to Get Rid of Wild Horses).
A Judas Horse, released at 0:10 in this undated video by KTVZ News, draws wild horses into the trap as a helicopter applies pressure from behind.
Not to be outdone, the advocates believe none of this is necessary and the best way to get rid of them is with ovary-killing pesticides.
RELATED: Feeling Betrayed?
The advocates are trying to market themselves as competitors to the legacy contractors.
Their strategy is to sterilize as many mares as possible with PZP, sending the herds into irreversible decline.
To say they’re even remotely associated with Velma would be gross exaggeration of the truth.
