The birth occurred in August but the advocates said nothing out respect for the horses, which they achieve by poisoning the mares with ovary-killing pesticides.

Now, they’re praying for a predator to fix the mistake, as they did for Mirabelle.

The article said his mom has been darted five times but did not say if that was a primer plus four boosters and if the injections had been given in consecutive years.

The threshold for sterility is usually taken as five consecutive years (primer plus five boosters).

Such animals are said to be “self-boosting,” a term in common use among the advocates.

What about the other mares that have been darted five times?  A herd of 400 plus should be producing more than two foals per year!

Truth is, the breeding population is nearly zero, thanks to Simone Netherlands and her band of merrymen.  Here she is in fine form, showing off her bona fides to other like-minded individuals:

The writer did not dispute that PZP is a restricted-use pesticide.

You only need to look at the herd on Assateague Island to see where this is going.

There is no way these phony voices for wild horses can achieve the population reduction targets given to them by Arizona bureaucrats without sterilizing the mares.

The darting program skews the sex ratio in favor of females, exactly what they don’t want and don’t need.

They know this and they are pushing ahead full speed.

The same thing is happening on the Virginia Range, where their parent organization, the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, leads the effort.

Overpopulation is the analog of climate change in the wild horse world.

Both are lies.

Suzanne Roy, feckless leader of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, beats the fertility control drum in today’s edition of The Colorado Sun, claiming that the best way to protect wild horses is through fertility control.

If you still think she’s playing with a full deck, watch her May 16 testimony before the Nevada State Assembly regarding SB90.

The piece was probably drafted by her subordinates.

Poisoning mares with ovary-killing pesticides protects other users of public lands, such as hunters and ranchers, not wild horses.

Roy and her followers are getting rid of them!  The latest assault is on the Cedar Mountain herd in Utah, with the blessing and financial support of the Bureau of Livestock Multiplication.

At the Virginia Range, site of their flagship darting program, which Roy describes as the world’s largest, these zealots are running the herd into the ground.  Go to the Year 4 Report submitted to the NDA.  If you can’t access the document, click here.

You know about herd management areas but are you aware of herd treatment areas?

That’s their glorious vision for America’s wild horses: To convert HMAs to HTAs!

Thumbs down for helicopters, thumbs up for pesticides.

As for the other users of public lands, the same report indicates Roy sent her henchmen to the 2022 FREES conference to sell the idea of nonmotorized removal to the ranchers and ranching sympathizers.

The Nevada State Director is Tracy “You need to manage the numbers to fit what’s available for the horses” Wilson, champion of habitat loss and livestock encroachment.

These people, who claim to be voices for the horses, are frauds, no getting around it.

Got that?

The advocates believe wild horse and burro populations should be reduced with ovary-killing pesticides, not motorized equipment.

They’ve allowed themselves to be manipulated by the bureaucrats and ranchers, earning them the title of Useful Idiots.

How can the HA be overpopulated with 122 wild horses when the BLM authorizes privately owned livestock equivalent to 832 wild horses in the same area?

Why not confine the ranchers to their base properties in a year-round off season and shift the resources back to the horses?

Or would it be better to get rid of them with ovary-killing pesticides as the advocates recommend?

The West Douglas HA was zeroed out because it doesn’t have enough food for wild horses yet the Twin Buttes Allotment, which overlaps most of the HA, offers 11,550 AUMs per year to livestock!

The 122 horses currently in their lawful home consume 1,464 AUMs per year.

It’s time to bury the hatchet.  Everybody can rally around darting programs.

No more broken necks, shattered legs and deaths due to blindness.

Ranchers can access most of their food and water and the herds won’t bounce back.

If you’re a nonprofit, which statement will bring in more donations?

1. We’re protecting these innocent animals with immunocontraceptive vaccines.

2. We’re poisoning the mares with restricted-use pesticides.

The first statement will likely fool more donors, while statement #2 is the truth.

If you’d like to see how the advocates market their poisons in western Nevada, including the Virginia Range, go to Wild Nevada.

The advocates wear “Stay Wild” caps to signal their support of the Montana Solution, not the welfare of wild horses.

They’re wiping out breeding populations and snuffing out new life with safe, proven and reversible darting programs, evident in the following video.

The destruction in this case was caused by the Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group, an affiliate of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.

Specializing in nonmotorized removal, they’re trying to take market share from the legacy contractors.

Both groups are desperate for the approval of the bureaucrats and ranchers.

The federal government confiscates money from your paycheck and gives it to groups like High Desert Strategies, Piceance Mustangs and the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, who poison the mares with ovary-killing pesticides.

They tell you they’re protecting the horses but they’re actually protecting the ranchers.

If you donate your take-home pay to these groups, you’re supporting the same thing.

The advocates have their little fiefdoms and Potemkin Villages on socialist media, where they try to prop each other up, evident in the latest screed by the PZP darter and real estate agent in the Minden/Gardnerville area.

Go to page three in the August edition of Horse Tales.

As nonprofits, their top priority is themselves: If they don’t keep their base fired up and the donations rolling in, their organizations collapse.

A little empathy and financial support might be appropriate if they were sincere.

But not this crowd.

The author belabors the injuries and deaths at the Antelope roundup but tiptoes around the issue of permitted grazing.

Cha-ching, cha-ching.

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses is toxic, the kiss of death to wild horses.

As for its affiliates, offshoots and supporters, which include the writer, they are known by the company they keep.

Contrary to the closing paragraph in the article, they don’t do what’s right, at least not for wild horses.

Pummeling mares with pesticide-laced darts can never be considered protection, unless you’re talking about the public-lands ranchers.

The advocates want the horses removed from their lawful homes as much as the bureaucrats and ranchers, but they want it done with ovary-killing pesticides, not motorized equipment.

And they want you to pay for it.

A more cost-effective and humane option would be for the BLM to significantly increase its use of proven and safe immunocontraceptive vaccines, according to an opinion piece dated August 17 in the Reno Gazette Journal.

Mustangs don’t need to be rescued.

They need to be protected from capture, branding, harassment and death as specified in the original statute.

The U.S. representative should be applauded for her dedication to humane management of America’s wild horses and burros, according to Tracy “You need to manage the numbers to fit what’s available for the horses” Wilson, defeatist and pesticide-pusher with the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, in an opinion piece published as news by the Las Vegas Sun.

Humane management is a euphemism for poisoning cherished/beloved/innocent wild horses with pesticide-laced darts, giving ranchers greater access to their food and water.

The bill would not stop wild horse removals but would shift them from motorized to nonmotorized, or nearly so, while ignoring the land-use plans that drive them.

Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?

Could it be the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal?

Who’s driving breeding populations into the ground with an ovary-killing pesticide known as PZP?

The new filly and her aunt will grow up together as playmates, according to a report dated August 7 by The News & Observer of Raleigh, NC.

Five foals have been born this year, for a birth rate of four percent, given a starting population of 124.

The breeding population must be very small, typical of herds subject to fertility control.

Don’t worry though, it’s safe, proven and reversible because the advocates said so.

As for the grandma, the pesticide patrol may decide she’s produced enough and will redouble their efforts to take her out of service.

Another possibility is that the herd has already been ruined, like Currituck and Assateague, and now they’re watching it implode.

“Words have to match actions,” Laura Leigh told a reporter in a story posted yesterday by the Las Vegas Sun.

Agree.  But you’ll find as many counterexamples from the advocates as you will from the bureaucrats.

They tell their supporters that they’re protecting wild horses as they poison the mares with ovary-killing pesticides.

The topic of fertility control was not discussed in the interview, but Leigh is on record in BLM planning documents as a PZP adherent.

She cited habitat loss and fragmentation as the driver of challenges faced by all wildlife, including wild horses, but did not explain how those conditions evolved.

She lamented an increase in mining claims over the last two years but did not acknowledge that the trend is driven in part by the search for lithium and vanadium, two essential constituents of “clean energy,” which she votes for!  (Yes, she’s a liberal and climate alarmist.)

Again, words don’t match deeds.

As for the so-called conservatives who back the public-lands ranchers, they won’t admit that it’s government dependency and redistribution of wealth, hallmarks of a political ideology they despise, supposedly.

Her remark about management planning is probably a reference to HMAPs, reflecting a erroneous belief that they help wild horses.  Sadly, they can only ratify and reinforce the lopsided resource allocations that drive the roundups and benefit the ranchers.

She should know that.  But telling the truth might upset her financial supporters.

The advocates have their own vocabulary to conceal the truth about themselves and their anti-horse / pro-ranching agenda.

Zonastat-H is a vaccine not a pesticide.

Their targets aren’t pests, they’re cherished/beloved/innocent/treasured wild horses.

They’re protecting them from removal by getting rid of them with PZP.

They don’t cater to the bureaucrats and ranchers, they manage the numbers to fit what’s available to the horses.

Overdosed mares are self-boosting, not sterile.

Herds don’t die off, they age out.

Sex ratios aren’t abnormal, mares live longer.

Families consist of barren mares and confused stallions.

They don’t disrupt the natural order, they reinforce it.

They want to be greeted with respect in the marketplace and they expect your unwavering financial support.

Give them a thumbs up on socialist media.
