Volunteers Monitor Corolla Wild Horses for ‘Swamp Cancer’

*** 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.

Charming the Salt River Horses with Slime!

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

How the Mustang Ranch Got Its Name

Original location was on Peri Ranch Road, about a mile east of Lockwood, NV, along the Truckee River. The abandoned structure appears at 0:35 and 0:58 in this video by roobyroo2000. Even today, the place is vistited by the Virginia Range mustangs.

Current location of the brothel is a few miles to the east, at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, also inhabited by the Virginia Range mustangs.

Interesting bit of history but the activities that occur there are damnable.

Paiute Roundup Snares Privately Owned Horses

Personnel from Cattoor Livestock Roundup, Inc., a contractor hired by the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, removed privately owned horses from privately owned land last week during a tribal horse gather. The area, known as Palomino Valley, lies between Sparks, NV and Pyramid Lake.

The roundup was prompted by a fire last summer that reduced the forage available to livestock and horses, according to a report dated 01/08/19 by the Reno Gazette Journal.

A woman affected by the roundup said the tribal government and the Nevada Department of Agriculture haven’t acted to address people’s concerns. “All of these people want to deny accountability because they don’t care.”

The agencies that surveyed the damage and recommended the action would have pushed for it anyway, because they, along with their contractors, view these animals with dripping contempt.

They don’t allow comments on their YouTube channel. Are they worried that someone might disagree with them?

The video provides a ‘who’s who’ of contraceptive advocacy on western rangelands.

‘Swamp Cancer’ Claims More Chincoteague Ponies

Four horses infected with the disease, formally known as pythiosis, did not respond to treatment and were put down last week, according to a syndicated report that appeared yesterday in the Winston-Salem Journal.

A veterinarian interviewed for the piece suggested that the ailment was spreading northward (from southern states) because of a ‘changing climate.’ Good grief.
