Exposing the Hypocrisy, Lies and Incompetence of the Wild Horse Advocates
They’re using your donations to buy pesticides so they can beat the horse populations down in favor of livestock.
They are phonies, allies of the ranchers, and don’t deserve a penny of your support.

The HMA contains 399,725 public acres and lies mostly within the allotment.
The 250 wild horses allowed by plan require 3,000 AUMs per year.
The stocking rate allowed by plan is 0.6 wild horses per thousand public acres.
The allotment offers 26,121 AUMs per year on 506,985 public acres, equivalent to 2,177 wild horses or 4.3 wild horses per thousand public acres.
The allotment master report puts it in the Improve category.
If the land can only support 0.6 wild horses per thousand acres and the bureaucrats pack it with livestock equivalent to 4.3 wild horses per thousand acres, then rangeland degradation must be a goal, not an unintended consequence of permitted grazing.
Another possibility is that your faithful public servants are lying about the carrying capacity of public lands.

The task force will likely identify the Montana Solution as one option for keeping the Miller Creek herd in check—or getting rid of it altogether.
It’s only a half-day drive to the Science and Conservation Center, where volunteers could become certified in mass sterilization with PZP.
Another option would be to solicit proposals from the advocates, who, if given the opportunity to promote the strategy, may do it for free.

It’s not clear if any state agency has the authority to manage wild horses in Montana, but Missoula County officials plan to bring together experts in land and livestock management, ecology and law enforcement to explore potential options for managing the herd and provide staff with recommendations.
A story by KPAX News said the situation is unique, as the animals roam freely in neighborhoods and parks, which may be true for Montana but not Nevada.
The Virginia Range, where residents have front-row seats to the largest attempted eradication of wild horses, is one example.
Comments at the Missoula County Voice, an online platform for public engagement, were largely in favor of leaving the horses alone.

The incident concluded on October 7 with 120 horses captured, 120 shipped, none released and no deaths.
The figures for Day 2 indicate five unaccounted-for horses.
The capture total consisted of 42 stallions, 49 mares and 29 foals.
The contractor also captured and shipped 142 burros. including 66 jacks, 61 jennies and 15 foals.
The capture goal was 270 but the split between horses and burros was not determined in advance.
There were no plans to treat any of the females with fertility control pesticides and return them to the range.

Are people finally waking up to these frauds or is Google now in the business of fabricating search results?
The Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses not only peddles mass sterilization as a humane alternative to motorized removal, but its volunteers have put it into practice on the Virginia Range.
Same for its partners at the Salt River and Pine Nut Mountains.
Can you think of a better way to win the support of the bureaucrats and ranchers?

The advocates hate foals. Like the bureaucrats, they view wild horses as pests, an impediment to rancher prosperity.
That’s why they’re beating the populations down with ovary-killing pesticides.
The saltwater cowboys love foals. They see them as moneymakers, a growing source of income for the Chincoteague Fire Company.
That’s why they turned the wildlife refuge into a puppy mill for wild horses, known for its highly abnormal sex ratio and unprecedented birth rate.
To say that they have conflicting views would be a gross understatement.

Western Horse Watchers is such a potent threat to the Love Triangle that its players have gone all out to hide it from their supporters.
Normally the site does not appear in searches for “wild horse” and “wild horses.”
But today it did, even without personalization. (In the old days they called it shadow banning—your site appears when you run the search but nobody else sees it.)
There has been no traffic from socialist media in 45 days, suggesting that the site has been banned therefrom.
Maybe the advocates are worried that their pesticide businesses will suffer as a result of commentary by Western Horse Watchers.

The database at the Assateague Island Alliance horse page puts the current population at 78.
The filtering option gives the following breakdown:
The island was a proving ground for mass sterilization with PZP.
The darting program was shut off in 2016 and since then the population has gone sideways, proving that the pesticide is not reversible as the advocates claim.
A few years ago they pointed to the island as a paragon of wild horse management but now that the results are public, they’ve lost interest.
They know you know they’ve been lying.
Note the abnormal sex ratio—1.5 mares for every stallion—a well-known side effect the advocates dismiss as “mares living longer.”

Some of the parcels are in areas identified for wild horses.
The news release, dated October 16 but not published until yesterday due to the partial government shutdown, said the date of sale will be announced separately along with details such as the location and fair market value of each parcel.
A draft environmental assessment was not issued for public review. The project jumped from scoping to decision in six months.

The BLM recently authorized the drilling of a water well in the allotment, which borders the Silver King HMA.
The news release gave few details about the project.
The allotment master report puts it in the Improve category, suggesting that your stewards of the public lands are not taking their responsibilities seriously.
Note that there are more AUMs in the suspended column than active.
The Mustang permittees receive 1,134 active AUMs on 23,877 public acres, equivalent to 95 wild horses or four wild horses per thousand public acres.
Your faithful public servants claim that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (25,600 animals on 25.6 million acres according to the last page of the 2025 population dataset).
The advocates support the narrative with their darting programs.
If the allotment was an HMA, the AML would be 24 and 71 wild horses would be consigned to off-range holding because of permitted grazing.
The area would be held to a small fraction of carrying capacity to accommodate large numbers of cattle or sheep, placed there by high-net-worth individuals who pay almost nothing for the resources they consume and the services rendered on their behalf by the government.
BLM allotments in Nevada support livestock equivalent to 173,144 wild horses on 40,194,360 public acres, or 4.3 wild horses per thousand public acres.
Wild horses can be placed on public lands not identified for their use by acquiring base properties associated with grazing allotments and flipping the preference to horses.

The incident would not be open to public observation.
Captured animals would be taken to the Axtell off-range corrals.

At Spring Creek Basin HMA with Lynn Northrup.
References to “TJ” correspond to TJ Holmes, the head pesticide-pusher in charge who’s managing the herd to extinction.
The 2025 population dataset indicated 78 horses in the HMA, a bit short of the 150 to 200 animals needed for genetic diversity (refer to 4.4.6.3 in H-4700-1).
If you deduct the number of mares ruined by Holmes, the breeding population is likely in the single digits, completely inadequate for long-term viability.
That’s what the advocates bring to the table.

The people of Arizona made clear nine years ago that they wanted approximately 450 wild horses living in freedom at the Salt River.
Today, the population is somewhere around 280 thanks to the mass sterilization program inflicted on the herd by the Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group in cooperation with the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.
The best course of action would be to start a special fund to acquire a base property tied to one or more allotments in the Tonto National Forest, flip the preference to horses, and move the herd there.
But the advocates won’t do it because it might be taken as an affront by their allies and idols—the public-lands ranchers.

The advocates want to stop helicopter roundups by zeroing out the breeding populations with PZP.
Either way the ranchers win.
What’s most surprising is the number of ignorant women who support this.
His mom probably has a faulty immune system.
The advocates rely on predators to take out any foals that slip through their mass sterilization program.
When that happens they’ll put on a big show to make you think they’re saddened by the loss.
It’s all fake. They hate foals.
They’re far more interested in driving the numbers down with ovary-killing pesticides and winning the approval of the bureaucrats and ranchers.
