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.
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.
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.
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.
Like radioactive decay, the advocates emit a steady stream of harmful information about wild horses.
Equating mass sterilization with wild horse conservation is one example.
Lying about rapid development is another.
Their followers don’t realize they’re being exposed to propaganda that promotes rancher prosperity, not equine welfare.
The only hope for these nitwits is to get them to Betty Ford clinics or similar institutions where they can be deprogrammed and educated in rational thought.
The bill would authorize research to determine if unmanned aerial systems can be used to gather and manage wild horses and burros, including application of fertility control, according to the text.
If successful, the technology could advance mass sterilization as an alternative to motorized removal, a dream-come-true for the advocates.
No more bouncing over rough terrain in a 4WD and stalking the animals with clipboards and darting rifles.
They rob too much forage from the most noble and deserving nonnative species on America’s public lands, placed there by high-net-worth individuals who pay almost nothing for the resource and the services rendered on their behalf by the government.
Put simply, they interfere with redistribution of wealth, a hallmark of liberalism.
It’s not “a war on wildlife, propping up special interests while ranchers and communities bear the brunt of unbalanced ecosystems and federal overreach” as stated in the commentary.
Ranchers are the special interest.
Then there’s the unsubstantiated claim that horse meat derived from public lands re-enters U.S. markets illegally from Mexico and Canada as a diluent of ground beef.
And the misallocation of water.
The guy’s as ill-informed about wild horses as the wild horse advocates.
Its affiliates page displays logos of trade groups representing meat and wool producers but none from the wild horse advocates.
Its policy statement acknowledges the support of some groups in developing the “Path Forward,” a 2019 plan for ranching superiority in the lawful homes of wild horses.
Since then other groups have stepped forward with projects that demonstrate the feasibility of mass sterilization as an alternative to motorized removal, notably at the Salt River and Virginia Range.
So why won’t PLC bring them on board and recognize their contributions to the ranching agenda?
Nowhere is it more evident than in the wild horse world.

It is still controversial, even in conservative circles, to say that there are too many women in a given field or that women in large numbers can transform institutions beyond recognition in ways that make them cease to function well.
