Long-Term Effects of Conger Sterilization Experiment?

According to the abstract published in April, band stallions that were gelded lost their mares while bachelors that were intact acquired mares, inverting the natural order.

Stronger horses that should be breeding are not while weaker horses that should not be breeding are.

This can’t be good for the herd over the long run, which means it will be of interest to the bureaucrats, ranchers and advocates.

Ten Weeks to Go: Piceance-East Douglas Pre-Game Report

A survey of 450 horses last month found slightly more than half with body condition scores of four or more, according to an article posted this morning by The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel.

The remaining horses were graded three or less, indicating suboptimal health.

Holy cow, half of the animals were below average?  Who could have predicted that?

Would they have a better chance of survival on the range or in the off-range corrals?

How many more horses could stay in the HMA if the ranchers were confined to their base properties?

BLM Jumps the Shark with New Carbon Sequestration Policy

The instruction memorandum provides guidance for authorizing right-of-ways for site characterization, transportation, injection, capture, and permanent storage of carbon dioxide at injection well locations on public lands managed by the agency, according to yesterday’s news release.

BLM Carbon Sequestration 06-10-22

The policy will help the administration combat the climate crisis and supports its goal of reaching net zero emissions economy-wide by 2050.

Their agenda will likely be derailed in November.

If these people are so worried about carbon dioxide, a naturally occurring compound needed by plants and trees, why don’t they do the honorable thing and stop breathing or otherwise remove themselves from the face of the planet?

Coalition Goes Public with Rock Springs RMP Protest

The leader in the wild horse removal business—next to the federal contractors—has joined forces with the Animal Welfare Institute and two other advocates in opposing the Rock Springs RMP Amendments announced on May 6, according to their news release.

The complaint, submitted on June 6, the final day of the protest period, criticizes the plan which will reduce the wild horse population by sixty to seventy percent, exactly what Plaintiff #1 is doing on the Virginia Range!

A keyword search of the document yielded 58 instances of “PZP.”

As predicted, these steadfast opponents of helicopter roundups now support them because they are part of the catch-treat-release protocols solicited by the BLM last month for delivery of the pesticide!  Refer to paragraph VI.A.1.b.

They have no convictions.

Nothing gets better for the horses until these frauds are out of the picture.

No difference.

The commie-pinko-fags in the Democrat Party, who are now trying to diminish your ability to keep and bear arms, and defend yourself from tyrants like them, don’t give a crap about children any more than the wild horse advocates give a crap about foals.

Both groups are frauds, with many members in common.

Don’t worry though, if you like your darting rifle you can keep your darting rifle.

Cañon City Deaths in the News

Misleading reports about the loss of 145 wild horses are still rolling out, including this one by KVVU News in Las Vegas.

Why weren’t the horses on their home range?

Off-range corrals are not the problem, they are a symptom of the problem.

Curiously, the charlatans interviewed for these stories use the case to advance their own anti-horse agenda.

Advocates Seek End of Roundups in Wake of Cañon City Incident

Two sentences from a story by the Las Vegas Review-Journal will suffice.

“An advocacy group for wild horses is seeking an emergency halt of roundups on public lands following recent assessments of understaffing and animal welfare risks at federal corrals and holding centers in Nevada and other Western states.”

“The American Wild Horse Campaign, as well as lawmakers led by Titus and Cohen, want federal agencies to implement birth control measures to reduce the need for the helicopter roundups.”

There’s nothing to see here, folks.

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses wants roundups replaced with darting programs.  They want the horses off the range as much as the bureaucrats and ranchers.

They’d be agitating for that even if there were no deaths at the off-range corrals.

Their long-term goal is to be the leader in the wild horse removal business.

So long, Cattoor and Sun J.

As expected, liberals are using the incident to further their political agenda, which has always included the separation of you from your guns, as seen today on Drudge.

Uvalde Aftermath on Drudge 05-30-22

They want you subjugated to an all-powerful centralized government, the antithesis of the American founding.  And they’re willing to destroy the economy and your standard of living to achieve it.

If you won’t go along with their plan they’ll call you a racist, homophobe, misogynist or other pejorative.  That’s how they get their commie-pinko-fag candidates into office.

You fall for the ploy because you do not know Truth.

Pay no attention to their propaganda and never give up your guns.

Will Virginia Range Volunteers Be Elevated to Sainthood?

Normally the process is reserved for the deceased but in darting circles their accomplishments are unprecedented.

  • Nancy Killian
  • Steve Paige
  • Tamera Gertdz
  • Elena Sullivan

Each has delivered over one thousand doses of PZP to mustangs on the Virginia Range, according to the author of “Wild Horse Tales” in the May edition of Horse Tales.

As a result, injuries are easier to find than youngsters.

Still Not Convinced That the Advocates Are Frauds?

The mask is off.  The article titled “Wild Horse Tales” in the May edition of Horse Tales reveals their glorious plan, starting on page six.

No sensible person can look at what they’re doing to the horses and call it protection.

  • Promotion of overpopulation narrative
  • Silence about permitted grazing
  • Acceptance of rangeland mismanagement
  • Collaboration with bureaucrats and ranchers
  • Silence about resource availability and apportionment
  • Obsession with Montana Solution
  • Dismissal of principles in original statute

If you think these people are protecting wild horses then you probably think the Uvalde shooter was protecting kids.

Don’t forget your “Stay Wild” cap.

Older Horses Should Be Allowed to Die Where Born

As for the youngsters, they shouldn’t be allowed at all.

The real estate agent and PZP darter in Minden/Gardnerville area is back with another column about the Montana Solution in this month’s edition of Horse Tales.

A perfect topic for Foal-Free Friday, starting on page six.

This charlatan praises the work of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses and Wild Horse Eradication, who spend your hard-earned donations on useless endeavors.

She points to the 60,000 animals in off-range holding, and the associated costs, but does not say a word about the cattle and sheep occupying their home range.

A few miles to the north, the advocate identifies four others who have fired over one thousand doses each of PZP into the Virginia Range herd.

She’s proud of their accomplishments.

The article concludes with some remarks about roundups—that don’t work according to the monster-in-charge at CAAWH.

They are very effective, you idiot, at shifting resources from wild horses to privately owned livestock, the same thing you and your foot soldiers are trying to achieve with the Montana Solution.

The herds will never bounce back if they have their way, assuring ranching superiority in areas set aside for the horses.

These people are lowbrows, stooges for the public-lands ranchers.

Much to Dispute in Pancake Opinion Piece

Refer to the commentary dated May 24 in the Reno Gazette Journal, written by a volunteer who filmed the colt with the broken leg on Day 1 of the roundup.

The incident prompted the introduction of HR 6635, the helicopter ban, that would not affect the driver of wild horse removals, only the way they are carried out.

The road to improvement starts with Herd Management Area Plans, according to the writer.

“The effect of not having these plans is these outrageous and large helicopter roundups.”

Wrong.

The Draft EA for resource enforcement actions in the Bible Springs Complex indicates in Section 1.1 that HMAPs are not prerequisites to the BLM taking horses off the range.

On-site observation of wild horse roundups, discussed in the column, documents the problem but does not point to solutions.

Injuries, deaths and subsequent mistreatment of these animals, including the incident at Cañon City and the fallout from the adoption incentive program, are too late, too far downstream in the management process, yet they receive most of the attention.

Areas identified for wild horses are managed primarily—if not principally—for privately owned cattle and sheep.

The off-the-range philosophy of the wild horse and burro program follows naturally.

This explains why roundups, fertility control, sterilization, sex-ratio skewing, adoptions, training and warehousing of captured animals devour most of its budget.

It’s a pest control program, designed to minimize its impact on the grazing program.

Would HMAPs change any of that?

Of course not.

The EA suggests that HMAPs establish AMLs and objectives for managing the HMAs, consistent with pre-existing management plans and other decision documents, monitor conditions and evaluate whether management objectives are being met, and provide corrective actions if the goals are not being achieved.

Put simply, they ratify and reinforce the status quo!

What are the results where they’ve been applied?

Livestock receive 88% of the authorized forage at the North Lander Complex, to be affirmed by an HMAP.

Livestock receive 89% of the authorized forage at the Warm Springs HMA in Oregon, to be locked in by an HMAP.

At Little Colorado HMA in Wyoming, livestock receive 97% of the authorized forage, awaiting ratification by an HMAP.

The writer’s thesis is off the mark.  The folks at Wild Horse Education, widely regarded as experts in the field, should know that.
