Although the wild horse roundup has been delayed, a veterinarian and member of the Colville Tribes has spoken out to make sure it doesn’t happen.

She observed that wild horses are an ‘easy scapegoat,’ but noted that

“Many legitimate studies by government agencies, universities, and animal groups show that livestock with cloven hooves can do a broader range of damage, can consume more types of plant species, and will drink more water than horses.”

A long term program that benefits the tribe and the horses should be developed, she explained, to avoid “…the loss of this basic element of our heritage.”  Refer to this story, posted yesterday by The Star of Grand Coulee, WA.

Volunteers with Friends of a Legacy, a group that works with the BLM to manage the wild horses of McCullough Peaks HMA, has asked the state legislature to formally name a section of U.S. 14/16/20 running from Cody to Emblem, according to a report posted yesterday by the Powell Tribune.

The HMA is on the north side of the road, while the neighboring Fifteenmile HMA is a few miles to the south.

Both HMAs are subject to permitted livestock grazing.

The group received $5,000 last year from ASPCA to dart mares with contraceptives, signifying their assent to the overpopulation narrative.  (The ASPCA, an organization that guards against cruelty to animals, actually inflicts it.)

You have to wonder if these people have ranching backgrounds or ties to the ranching industry.  What a great way to get rid of the last few wild horses remaining on western rangelands.

These maps indicate that roughly half the land in this part of Wyoming set aside for wild horses is no longer managed for them, supposedly due to inadequate food and water, yet it can support privately owned cattle and sheep.

The proposed management plan for the Heber WHT is now in the public domain and some wild horse advocates are not happy with it, according to a story that appeared today in the White Mountain Independent.

One person said the collaborative working group that drafted the plan had a pre-set agenda to remove all free roaming horses from the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest.

Another said the group was trying to solve a problem that didn’t exist.

A third person said she was removed from the group because she disagreed with some of the recommendations.

Comments on the plan can be submitted to the Forest Service this summer, according to the report.

Bill Williams captured the Corolla wild horses on film while vacationing on the 4×4 beaches of the North Carolina Outer Banks.

Wild horses roam the abandoned coal mines in southern West Virginia, according to a story posted today by the Herald-Dispatch of Huntington, and mine owners don’t always consider them a welcome addition.

Tinia Creamer, founder of the Heart of Phoenix rescue, says many were abandoned by people who don’t want them anymore, or are looking to sell them but let them go to save money until a buyer is found.

She met last week with legislators to discuss the wild horse issues but concedes the meeting focused mostly on tourism, noting that organizations that use the horses for that take no responsibility for their care.

Given that things didn’t go exactly as planned, she wonders what the legislators might propose and if the horses would be better off left alone.

A wild horse advocacy group and Palomino Valley resident have joined forces to sue the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe for taking privately owned horses from private property during the tribal roundup in Palomino Valley, NV earlier this month.  Refer to this story, posted today by KOLO-TV in Reno.

Also named in the suit are the Nevada Department of Agriculture, Cattoor Livestock Roundup, Inc., the tribe’s contractor, Zena Quillan, a woman who allegedly bought the captured horses from the tribe and sent them to slaughter, and two Department of Agriculture employees.

What’s the punishment nowadays for horse theft?  Why isn’t this a criminal case?

A pinto filly was born to first-time mom Susi Sole last week, according to a report posted today by the Maryland Coast Dispatch.  The arrival brings the wild horse population on the barrier island to eighty.

Fertility control efforts were suspended recently, because of the shrinking size of the herd.

The distribution of males and females on the island is now wildly skewed, based on a census from last November, a result that should be investigated.

This story has been in the news since yesterday, none of the reports have explained why a month went by before it was announced.  CBS-17 in Raleigh, NC has the details.

Opponents of free-roaming horses like to point at photos of muddy ground on one side of a fence and lush green pasture on the other.  They say the horses harm the ecology and therefore have to go.

Do you think the barren area would exist if these horses could come and go as they pleased?  Of course not.  The fence caused it.

The Population Bombers of the wild horse world have targeted the Salt River mares, with the goal of reducing wild horse population growth to zero, according to a story posted today by AZ Family, the CBS affiliate in Phoenix.  Includes video of mares being shot with contraceptives.

Yep, the Salt River horses have been protected from everything…except the PZP zealots.

Programs like this reflect the moral depravity of their adherents.

*** LANGUAGE WARNING ***

The disease, which took the lives of several wild horses on Chincoteague Island, has not infected any of the horses that inhabit the Currituck Outer Banks, and volunteers who care for them are trying to prevent an outbreak.

Residents of the island will be asked to clean up debris that could cause cuts and scrapes on the horses, according to a report filed today by The Outer Banks Voice.

A person interviewed for a similar article by Coastal Review Online blamed the spread of the disease on climate change.

Folks, this will be hard to understand, but we’re going to have to throw in with the godless, butt fucking, baby murdering liberals to save our wild horses.

Look at the bright side.

With open borders, we’ll have access to ponies that do the jobs our mustangs typically refuse.  Clearly, they are way more virtuous and deserving than American horses.

And by treating the natural-born horses with contraceptives, they can eventually be replaced with these imports.

Adalia shows you how it’s done.  As for now, the horses still prefer eelgrass.
