They’re outraged, according to a news release on EIN by Animal Wellness Action.

What do they prefer?  The Montana Solution.  No foals at all.

• Injuries and infections
• Destruction of ovaries
• Abnormal sex ratios
• Increased death rates
• Shrinking herds
• Disruption of natural order
• Subordination to livestock

Stalking the bands with clipboards and darting rifles, injecting the mares with pesticides and shifting their food and water to the public-lands ranchers is their raison d’être.

The bill was was prompted by film from the Pancake roundup showing a foal running on a broken leg and now film from the Buffalo Hills roundup showing a foal being thrown to the ground may kill it.

It was a stupid idea anyway.

The video owner said today in an interview with KLAS News of Las Vegas that imagery of a wrangler body slamming a foal will hopefully boost public support for the ban, after which the removals would be carried out by wranglers!

Are these people nuts or what?

Consider these two scenarios for helicopter roundups of wild horses.

A. A foal was found dead on Day 1, cause unknown.  A mare was found dead on Day 2 because of a rattlesnake bite.  A stallion was put down on Day 3 due to a physical defect.

B. A foal was found dead on Day 1, cause unknown.  A mare was found dead on Day 2 because of a rattlesnake bite.  A stallion was put down on Day 3 due to a physical defect.

Which one is acceptable?

Both cases are based on the Buffalo Hills roundup.

The first one corresponds to a cruel and costly helicopter roundup that puts more horses in off-range holding.

The second one corresponds to a safe and efficient helicopter roundup that puts more horses into a catch-treat-release program.

Scenario B is better because it leads to greater use of the Montana Solution.

Next time there will be fewer horses to gather.

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses voiced support for catch-treat-release during the scoping period for the new Cedar Mountain pest control plan, which ran from February 4 to March 5, yet the solicitation for those services was not announced until May 10.

Refer to comment #500236786 in Appendix G of the Draft EA.

How did they know about that?  Perhaps they were working with the bureaucrats behind the scenes to steer more business in their direction?  Equivalent to insider trading?

They seem to be more concerned about the welfare of livestock than horses.

Hard to believe, isn’t it?

As suspected, the voices in favor of the removal are those of the ranchers and advocates, as explained in a June 30 letter to the editor of the Rio Blanco Herald Times.

“The Makeover [chaired by the author, a public-lands rancher], along with the Piceance Mustangs volunteer work [the advocates], have shown the high level of community support our local White River office of the BLM have for their long awaited and much needed mustang gather.”

The writer went on camera a few weeks ago complaining about the horses and her grazing frustrations on two allotments near the HMA, identified in this map.

The advocates went on record in favor of the roundup a few days later.

The letter was signed by Deirdre Macnab, Meeker Mustang Makeover, not Deirdre Macnab, 4M Ranch.

The BLM has not posted any information about the incident in the usual location, a nice example of the bureaucrats, ranchers and advocates working together for a horse-free future.

The column, published by the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, begins with a strange remark about overpopulation of wild horses and humans.

As for the horses, they are not native to North America [even though they appear in the fossil record] and have no natural predators [because they would also be interested in privately owned cattle and sheep].

As for the humans, if he thinks there are too many of them, why doesn’t he do anything about it?  Walk the talk.  Be a role model.  Stop breathing.  Save the planet.

Now that Roe has been overturned, “we’re going to grow a lot of people so mentally broken they can’t tell right from wrong.”

Too late, it’s been happening for 60 years.  We call them liberals.

The federal government is full of them.

While Kristi Noem’s wealthy buddies get their abortions on the quiet, his former employer protects his wealthy ranching buddies from the realities of a free market, while showering him with benefits that we in the private sector can only dream of.

The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a ranching front group and leader in the wild horse removal industry, has openings for three individuals with experience in education, public speaking, community relations and networking.

In these roles, you will

• Become a leader on federal, state, and local legislative and policy issues
• Advance initiatives to protect wild horses and burros, the environment and wildlife
• Educate the public by speaking at schools and community organizations

For example, if asked about management practices at the North Lander Complex in Wyoming, your job is to convince others that livestock should receive at least seven times more forage than the horses, and the best way to achieve that goal is not with cruel and inhumane helicopter roundups but with safe and reversible fertility control.

You will not be expected to convert AMLs to AUMs or compute forage allocations for livestock in areas set aside for wild horses because those numbers would destroy the rationale for your darting programs and reveal you and your colleagues as frauds.

RELATED: CAAWH Delusional?

Mares captured in the 2019 roundup arrive at a sanctuary.  Filmed in February.

Livestock in the HMA receive four times more forage than the horses.

The advocates have an off-the-range mentality, just like the bureaucrats and ranchers.

Even “on-range management” means “off the range.”

Concerns about herd size, genetic diversity and inbreeding go away because there is no breeding at all.

With no new foals hitting the ground, death rates increase as the average age of the herds increases.

In the Conger sterilization experiment, mares left their band stallions to breed with bachelors, upsetting the natural order.

Youngsters grow up to rob the public-lands ranchers of their birthright.

With the Montana Solution, the permittees are safe.

The advocates talk about habitat fragmentation but not about herd fragmentation.

Ever notice that?

They give us so much to be thankful for, we really should be more grateful.

RELATED: Can Darting Programs Compete with Helicopter Roundups?

Start by asking “Why?”

Why are AMLs small relative to the available resources?  Why are HMAs and WHTs managed primarily for livestock?  Why do the RMPs assign most of the food to cattle and sheep in areas set aside for horses and burros?

These questions will take you upstream in the management process, to policies, regulations and statutes, as well as the attitudes and beliefs of those who write them.

AMLs are not in the original WHB Act.

Almost half of the land designated in 1971 is now managed exclusively for livestock.

The original statute ordered the secretaries of Interior and Agriculture to work with state wildlife agencies to protect wildlife in those areas, especially endangered species.

There was no provision for livestock.

Roundups, darting programs, sterilization, sex ratio skewing, adoptions, training and slaughter are symptoms of the problem, not causes.

Who benefits from these things?

Wild horse advocacy takes a giant leap forward when it learns how to distinguish between cause and effect.

Today, it has a downstream focus and is dominated by frauds, reflected in the following image, so it can never bring improvements for the horses, only prolong their misery.

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.

The advocates will be screaming that foaling season is not over and that some of the youngsters will be injured or killed in the traps, yet they’d be first in line to get rid of them with the Montana Solution.

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?

Is Colorado a fence-out state?

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.

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?

Those criticizing the BLM for the Rock Springs RMP Amendments, which will slash the number of wild horses in the project area by sixty to seventy percent, would be first in line to get rid of them with the Montana Solution.

Ever notice that?

RELATED: 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.

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

Here are the headlines on Drudge.  He’s not managing problems, he’s causing them.

His voters deserve to be rooked but not the rest of us.

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.
