The news release said the changes would give ranchers more flexibility, improve the health of rangelands and support rural communities across the West.

What they’re really trying to do is limit the use of allotments to animals approved by the ranching industry, not the preference holders, thwarting the creation of wild horse and burro refuges on public lands.

A special interest will control the way allotments are used, not the owners or lessors of the base properties attached to them.

You can comment against the proposal at the Federal Register.

An in-depth report by Carson Now identifies two problems complicating the situation: Most of the land is private, subject to purchase and development, and NDA considers the horses to be estray livestock, even though they’re unclaimed and unbranded.

Western Horse Watchers disputes claims that development at the higher elevations, which is minor compared to growth in south Reno, is driving them out of the mountains and into foothills.

Why didn’t the writer question the mass sterilization program authorized by NDA and carried out by the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses?

The article suggested that watering is unlawful.  The practice is discouraged in urban areas but it is not illegal.

Feeding is illegal.

Although the fat lady has yet to sing, you can be sure there are many players working to eradicate the herd, including those who claim to be its defenders.

Your faithful public servants are trying to insert “production-oriented livestock” everywhere they can in the Part 4100 regulations to pacify the crybabies in Montana who didn’t like the type of livestock American Prairie ran on its grazing allotments, and their overlords across the west who saw the practice as a threat to their hegemony.

They stated in the notice that they were “seeking to head off suggestions that grazing permits may be appropriate for other purposes, including preservation or conservation,” precluding the use of grazing allotments for wild horse refuges.

You have until July 13 to comment against the proposal.

Unmanned aerial vehicles are one of the most invasive, disruptive things the horses must deal with according to a report by WAVY News.

Far worse than pesticide-laced darts, fired by the advocates, that can sterilize mares and destroy entire herds if applied for more than five years.

It’s still not clear if the Currituck darting program was stopped soon enough to save the herd from total collapse.

Age and herd size do not determine genetic diversity.

A herd of 150 to 200 breeding aged animals will vanish if the advocates ruin the mares with PZP.

Think of the Salt River and Virginia Range.

Section 4.4.6.3 in H-4700-1 sets the record straight.

Its sponsor said next year he’ll introduce a bill in his name and it’ll have enhanced protections for the Salt River herd according to a story by the Arizona Capitol Times.

The measure was filed earlier this year as a strike-everything amendment to another bill.

The Senate’s failure to act means that 25 wild horses will be removed from their habitat this summer, not by the Forest Service but by the advocates.

The BLM will add production-oriented livestock, including a definition thereof, to Part 4100 of Title 43 according to a notice in the Federal Register dated May 12.

Permits issued under section 4130.2 would only be valid for the production of meat, milk or fiber and would include any animals used in support of such operations, such as horses for moving cattle.

Describing the proposed change as a limitation, the agency “is seeking to head off suggestions that grazing permits may be appropriate for other purposes, including preservation or conservation.”

The revamp, promulgated by an unelected bureaucracy, would mean no more Mustang Monuments or Wild Horse Refuges if approved.

Western Horse Watchers opposes the restriction.

Comments are due by July 13.

The Decision Record indicates that public lands within a five-mile radius of active trapping locations and temporary holding facilities will be closed to public entry while the incident is in progress.

The closure area, shown on page 4, extends well to the west and north of the HA.

The decision, effective immediately, is necessary to protect persons, property, public lands, resources and to avoid conflicts among public land users.

The First Amendment was overrated anyway.
