Two Virginia Range mustangs dance while everyone else drinks.

A stallion was killed yesterday on New Mexico Highway 48, while attempting to cross it with some other horses.  Refer to this report by Ruidoso News, posted today.

Wild horses in this area were the subject of a two year court battle that ended last year, when a judge ruled the New Mexico Livestock Board had no authority in the case.

A news release posted today by EIN Presswire praises language in a draft appropriations bill for the Department of the Interior about the ‘rewilding’ of horses and burros.

The concept, which appears on page 15 of the proposed legislation, refers to the transfer of captured horses from government corrals and contracted pastures to private facilities, not their home range, just as the ranchers wanted.

The draft also includes $6 million for the first phase of the wild horse eradication plan, also favored by the ranchers.  See page 10.

Oh yeah…eleven of the horses have been killed by gunfire in the past year.

Pay no attention to the fencing.  It was put there by an oil company to keep nosy environmentalists away from their drilling rigs and frac tanks.

The anti-family event, which occurs in the middle of wild horse country, is brought to you by the multiple-use mandate of FLPMA, the ‘No Rancher Left Behind Act.’

Good job Elizabeth!

The WHB Act has been amended several times by ranching interests (visible at top of frame at 1:50) and no longer affords the protections sought by Velma.  This is the challenge going forward: Roll back the changes and put an end to public-lands ranching.

Today, more and more horses are being forced off their home range (public lands) so their food can be sold to privately owned cattle and sheep.

Adoptions don’t keep pace with the roundups so most of them end up in government corrals or contracted pastures.  No family, no foals, no legacy.

Bait-trapping was suspended today, with 104 animals removed from their home range.

Protesters returned to the state capital yesterday, according to a report by FOX-13 News, in response to a planned roundup of the Onaqui Mountain horses.

Critics of the horses—most of them shills for the public-lands ranchers—say they’re suffering because they don’t have enough food and water.

But the problem is privately owned livestock on public lands set aside for the horses, fences and gates that impede their movement, water sources commandeered for fee-paying animals.

The big-name advocacy groups should be going after the misappropriation of these lands, the failure of government to manage them primarily for wild horses and burros, instead of spreading their contraceptive venom across the fruited plain.

These people are enemies of the horses.  How much of the story was filmed on private property?  How many of those landowners agree with their twisted worldview?

The public-lands ranchers are smiling tonight because of idiots like these.

Searching for wild horses: A family outing by Our National Adventure.  The island was hit hard by Hurricane Florence last September but the horses survived.

These people have a lot of nerve telling us not to disturb the natural behavior of these horses (4:58 in the video), when they’re out there with dart guns shooting mares in the ass with contraceptives!

With this much human involvement—breeding patterns determined by them—the horses are no longer wild, they are a carefully managed exhibit, a hint of what was.

A story posted today by AZ Family, the CBS affiliate in Phoenix, says an eight week old filly was taken off the range after its mother was found dead near the Salt River in central Arizona.  The mom was the oldest mare in the herd according to the report.
