Velma Would Be Horrified by Today’s Advocates

They’re phonies.

They’re obsessed with pesticides.

They protect ranchers, not wild horses.

They reject foundational principles such as management at the minimum feasible level and principal use.

They want you to think that the herds will vanish without they’re involvement when in reality the herds are vanishing because of their involvement.

Why are you still giving them money?

TRNP Wild Horse Protection Act Cannot Achieve Stated Goals

Instead of prohibiting advocate involvement, the bill requires it.

Paragraph 5(b)(1) directs the Secretary of the Interior to maintain a genetically diverse herd in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park with a population of at least 150 wild horses.

Paragraph 5(b)(2)(B) requires cost-effective management of the herd while ensuring that natural resources not adversely impacted.

Those are codewords for a fertility control program—that could be provided by the advocates at no cost to the Park Service.

Was that language suggested by Christine Kman, who has allowed the tentacles of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses to reach into her nonprofit?

Where are the safeguards that prevent it from morphing into a mass sterilization program?

In their zeal to spread the gospel of immunocontraceptives and win the approval of the bureaucrats and ranchers, the advocates will drive the breeding population into the single digits and the goal of genetic diversity will lost forever.

Virus or No Virus, Salt River Herd Is Toast

You cannot use PZP to take a herd from 450 to 280 without sterilizing the mares.

If the death rate was 6% per year, typical for wild horses, you’d need eight years of nonstop darting.

If any foals were born the death rate would need to be higher.

If the death rate was 8% per year, unusual for wild horses, you could do it in six years.

Sterility sets in after five years.

Given that the program has been active for six years, maybe closer to seven, the death rate must be at the higher end of the range.

Are they spiking their darts with some other toxin?

It’s not about the horses.  It’s about pesticides and convincing the bureaucrats and ranchers that the helicopters can be grounded in favor of mass sterilization.

Salt River Herd Cannot Recover from a Deadly Disease

Because the advocates have ruined the mares with PZP.

They may even view the loss of a few dozen horses favorably, as it would move them closer to their population reduction goal.

The advocates, along with their overlords at the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, are far more interested in demonstrating that mass sterilization is a practical alternative to motorized removal than actually protecting the herd.

Foal-Free Friday, Humane Conservation Edition

Ater WWII, bald eagles were nearly wiped out in the U.S. by widespread use of DDT.

In a process known as bioaccumulation, the pesticide weakened the shells of their eggs, turning reproductive success into reproductive failure.

The advocates use pesticides to cause reproductive failure in wild horses, selling the practice as humane conservation.

What would you say about women who hiked into the wilderness and climbed to the mountaintops to smash the eggs of bald eagles?

Foal-Free Friday, Envy and Jealousy Edition

How many wild horse advocates are depressed because they can’t participate in the mass sterilization programs at the Salt River and Virginia Range?

How many field workers would reject their assistance because they want all the glory for themselves?

Will Missoula Look to Billings for Answer to Wild Horse Problem?

The task force will likely identify the Montana Solution as one option for keeping the Miller Creek herd in check—or getting rid of it altogether.

It’s only a half-day drive to the Science and Conservation Center, where volunteers could become certified in mass sterilization with PZP.

Another option would be to solicit proposals from the advocates, who, if given the opportunity to promote the strategy, may do it for free.

Would the Advocates Get Along with the Saltwater Cowboys?

The advocates hate foals.  Like the bureaucrats, they view wild horses as pests, an impediment to rancher prosperity.

That’s why they’re beating the populations down with ovary-killing pesticides.

The saltwater cowboys love foals.  They see them as moneymakers, a growing source of income for the Chincoteague Fire Company.

That’s why they turned the wildlife refuge into a puppy mill for wild horses, known for its highly abnormal sex ratio and unprecedented birth rate.

To say that they have conflicting views would be a gross understatement.

Advocates clash with cowboys at their first meeting.

Two Weeks Until Defund the Advocates Day

You can help wild horses on December 2 by doing nothing.

The advocates use your donations to buy pesticides so they can beat the horse numbers down in favor of livestock.

Would you be surprised if the fastest-growing segment in their base was bureaucrats and ranchers?

Resolve now to cut them off.

WARNING: They’re Working Tirelessly to Deceive YOU

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses wants to replace motorized removal with mass sterilization.  They use your donations to buy pesticides and equip their volunteers with the tools of application.

They are phonies, allies of the ranchers, and don’t deserve a penny of your support.

Senate Amends, Approves FY26 Budget (Sort of)

Senators voted 60-40 Monday evening in favor of HR 5371, a bill that will end the partial government shutdown if accepted by the House and signed by the President.

The measure provides full-year funding for military construction, veterans’ affairs, the Department of Agriculture (which includes the Forest Service) and the legislative branch, according to a report by The Hill, and the rest of government (which includes the BLM) through January 30.

As of today, a FY26 roundup schedule has not been posted to BLM’s website, but one may appear before the ink is dry, as high-net-worth individuals, portrayed as victims by Bobby Khan, suffer from resource invasion in the lawful homes of wild horses.

How to Sell Mass Sterilization to the American People

Refer to this November 7 news flash written by Tracy “You need to manage the numbers to fit what’s available for the horses” Wilson, a defeatist, pesticide pusher and ranching sympathizer with the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.

  • Portray helicopter roundups as cruel and costly
  • Never admit that the range can support more horses than the government allows
  • Never suggest that overpopulation might not be true
  • Present ovary-killing pesticides as a humane alternative to motorized removal
  • Never acknowledge that public lands are managed primarily for livestock
  • Never admit that you’re in cahoots with the bureaucrats and ranchers
  • Never concede that your plan will eradicate the herds in 25 years

Salt River Scandal?

The attack on the herd is sinister because it’s being carried by those who claim to voices for the horses.

The Center for Biological Diversity never demanded that the mares be sterilized.

The Forest Service never laid the idea on the table.

It came from the advocates, disguised as “humane management.”

For seven years they’ve pummeled the mares with pesticide-laced darts, not to slow population growth but to reverse it, with the inevitable result of permanent infertility.

And, as usual, the perps are women.

These people are phonies and don’t deserve a penny of your support.

A Bright Spot in the Partial Government Shutdown?

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in mass sterilization and fierce opponent of principal use, has been ordered to stop the Cedar Mountain darting program according to an October 30 news flash distributed by Lucky Three Ranch.

Further, the grant that funds the effort has not been renewed.

The advocates are now begging for donations to keep the destruction going.

There haven’t been any roundups in the HMA since the program began because the advocates are working with a permittee to poison the mares with PZP, a restricted-use pesticide that tricks their immune systems into attacking their ovaries.
