Refer to the report dated 05/30/18 in the Colorado Springs Gazette.

Really, the perp(s) should step forward, admit their guilt, and join forces with the Population Bomb-ers of the wild horse world, where darting mares with PZP is considered humane, not harassment.

In this video, posted 05/25/18, Tucker Carlson, Fox News host, interviews Dave Duquette, spokesman for Protect the Harvest and cheerleader for the buck-forty-oners.  Topic is horse slaughter.  Broadcast date unknown.  Notice the AQHA logo on Duquette’s jacket.

On the subject of horse meat, Duquette reported “There was one meat buyer…in the south of…in Florida…that said he had 2.3 million Hispanics down there that would eat it…every day if they could get it.”

A few moments later he said “Mexico, if you’ve eaten tacos on the beach in Cabo, you’ve eaten some horse meat.”

Maybe he’s on a public relations tour to build support for the recent BLM Report to Congress.

But his comments are a reminder that we have people coming into the country who don’t share our values, especially the sovereignty of the individual and the proper role of government in the civil society.  We need to keep them out.

Yet in November, many of the so-called wild horse advocates, including the PZP zealots, will join The Diversity in voting for the party of open borders.

As hard as it is to listen to this guy, it’s harder to watch the images of horses that begin at 1:08.

Halters in arenas and pastures, horses locked in stalls, stud chains over their nose, all because they’re owned or cared for by idiots.  Nevertheless, these things indicate the horses are wanted and are unlikely to be taken to auction.

Today we remember our fallen heroes, some of whom were carried by the ancestors of these and other guys.

Wreck is on westbound I-80 near Fairfield, CA, but traffic is backed up for miles in the opposite direction.  Three or four lanes across.  Bad day for horse watching in Nevada, at least if you live in the Bay Area.

Don’t worry though, all that wasted fuel means extra $$$ for state and federal coffers.

Do you think you can escape God’s punishment?

The NRA, not known for its unwavering support of the Second Amendment, is a member of the steering committee of the National Wild Horse and Burro Rangeland Management Coalition.

The aim of the NWHBRMC is to articulate the wild horse narrative.  They are not friends of the horses.  Their fingerprints are on the recent BLM Report to Congress (by way of the National Wild Horse and Burro Summit).

So now you have another reason to avoid the NRA.  They’re not on the side of freedom, ruggedness and self-reliance, but are aligned with weakness, vulnerability and dependence on government.

UPDATE: See this piece in The Washington Times about the incoming president of the NRA and this post in the Captain’s Journal about said incoming president.  H/T Western Rifle Shooters Association.

An opinion piece in The Ely Times dated 05/04/18 yields three more components of the wild horse narrative.

A fourth element, mentioned last week, is they were turned loose or escaped from ranches and therefore have no special significance.

Note that the ranchers—bless their hearts—have reduced grazing on public lands to accommodate our poor horses and burros.  Just like the welfare recipients who voluntarily give up some of their government benefits after being told how those programs are driving the country into debt.

The WHB Act of 1971 did not include a provision for unrestricted sale of unadoptable animals.

That feature was added in 2004.

Do you really think the government would close departments, sell buildings and lay people off if wild horse and burro populations were reduced to their AMLs and there were no more animals in long-term holding?  Do you think the proposed measures would actually lead to a reduction in government spending?  Good grief.  Not as long as liberals are in charge.

The narrative is not about saving money.  It’s about getting the horses and burros off public lands and the ideas they represent out of the public’s mind.

Don’t forget the moms who aren’t, thanks to the PZP zealots.  These self-proclaimed advocates are on the same page as the wild horse haters, differing only in methodology.

Forms of government.

Yearning for open space?  Check out this guy’s bio.  What does he do for a living?  What are his qualifications for office?  Is he on board with the fundamental transformation?

The Democrat candidate recently visited the Pine Nut Mountain herd area to learn about birth control for horses.

Hmmm, can the technique be used to re-shape the electorate?  It’s already happening.  The birth rate in the U.S. is negative because we are aborting/sterilizing/contracepting ourselves out of existence.  Although rarely discussed, this is an important part of the Voter Replacement Project sponsored by his party.

Our wild ones are losing ground, literally, because of Multiple Use.  What are some of the factors making livestock grazing on public lands (especially HMAs) more attractive?

• Costs – corn is getting too expensive due to ethanol production
• Pop culture – a belief that range-fed beef is better for you
• Revenue – grazing fees help nourish the leviathan
• Land – not enough of it in private hands

Who pushes alternate energy?  Who wants more money from the private sector?  Who thinks government should control everything?  Liberals.

Anybody asking for ‘an equitable solution to our wild horses’ doesn’t understand the issues and shouldn’t be setting policy, political leanings aside.

Bad life for the horse.

Good times will be had by all…except the horses.

This is better.  H/T Sandy Palen at Wild in the Pryors.

What is a narrative?  A story that explains why things are the way they are, or why the current situation is unacceptable and must be changed.  The farther from the truth, the more outrageous, the better.  Only fools believe the narrative.

Example: Black folks are victims of white oppression, they’re not responsible for their station in life and only the Democrat Party can save them.  Standards must be lowered and concessions must be made.  The Founding Fathers were aristocratic slave owners who crafted the Constitution to favor white people.  The system must be changed.

That last statement, of course, was the goal all along, but it had to be justified (which is why you invent a narrative).  Another example: Global warming.  Goal: Massive government involvement in your life.

The narrative for WHB contains several elements, here’s one of them: They were simply turned loose or escaped from nearby ranches, no special significance.

Today is May 1st, a ‘coming out’ day for Marxists everywhere.

The common name is Porcine Zona Pellucida, a protein derived from pig ovaries which interferes with conception.

According to the EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet, it’s a tool for management of nuisance feral and wild horses and burros.  The technical registrant is the Humane Society of the United States.

The substance is injected intramuscularly by hand-held syringe, syringe mounted on a jabstick or by syringe dart fired from a CO2 cartridge-powered projection system.

The goal is to have fewer of these little guys running around on the range.  You have to wonder how anyone who agrees with this can be called a wild horse advocate.

Life in New York City, circa 1911, complete with poop in the streets.

Nobody was happier for the invention of the automobile than the horse.

H/T American Digest.

Which came first…legalized abortion or contraception?  Contraception, in 1960.

Abortion, legalized in 1973, may have been the goal, but it had to be justified.  Get the people accustomed to contraception.  Observe that it sometimes fails.  Then point to the need for abortion.

One hundred years ago, most people would have gasped at the idea of contraception.

Today, the idea is so widely accepted that it’s even applied to wild horses.

A few years from now, you’ll hear complaints that it’s too expensive, too difficult to administer and doesn’t provide a lasting solution (to the wild horse ‘problem’).  An argument will be made that ‘excess’ animals must be sterilized or euthanized.

At that point, our wild ones will be finished, and you can thank the PZP zealots, most of whom are women.

Benefits of centralized government.

She may be interested in wild horse preservation, but how closely is she aligned to her party’s goal of more government control, more taxes, more regulations, more illegal immigration, more sexual perversion, more abortion, more contraception, more sterilization?

There are many ways we can help our wild ones but voting for liberals is not one of them.
