U.S. Gov't to round up 1,000 wild horses, sell many to be slaughtered

[Orion Rules]

Europeans brought horses to the Americas.

They "returned" horses to North America where they first originated. It's amazing isn't it. Conservative President Richard Nixon understood it. Never undermine a man who was much greater than the worst. He is who desired and signed the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 into law as private profit has worked to undermine it. Wild horses eat a highly flammable non-native plant species called cheatgrass before it seeds, as introduced cattle spread it.

More than 1,700 wild horses were removed from an area in Nevada to a huge fire broke out. That's not the only example there is as the Bureau of Land Management has been living off taxpayers' money to spread their disasters. They have misled Congress and the public as they scapegoat the wild horse and burro but are responsible for deaths, property loss, public lands destroyed. That costs way more than wild horses and burros left to eat what burns.

Myth: Wild horses and burros are an exotic or a feral species and must be removed to protect native wildlife.

Fact: Not so. The paleontological record shows that the cradle of equine evolution occurred in North America, beginning more than 60 million years ago. Conventional theories postulate that horses introduced by the Spanish more than 500 years ago were a different species than those horses who existed in North America prior to their mysterious disappearance approximately 10,000 years ago. However, mitochondrial DNA analysis of fossil remains indicates that E. caballus, the “modern” horse, is genetically identical to E. lambei, the most recent equine species to evolve in North America more than 1.7 million years ago. Hence, it can plausibly be argued that the Spanish actually “reintroduced” a native species, one which evolved on this continent and which has adapted and flourished both biologically and ecologically since its reintroduction. Interestingly, some scientists question the theory that all horses became extinct 10,000 years ago. They are only now beginning to analyze fossil remains that may eventually support this hypothesis.

Moreover, simply because horses were domesticated before being released is biologically inconsequential. Observing horses in the wild demonstrates just how quickly domesticated behavioral and morphological traits fall off. According to Dr. Patricia Fazio, “The key element in describing an animal as a native species is (1) where it originated; and (2) whether or not it co-evolved with its habitat.” By virtue of their evolutionary history, biology and behavior, these animals are native wildlife. In addition, the 1971 WFHBA rightfully recognized them as an “integral part of the natural system of the public lands.”

America is sold out by who know the truth but do not care. The future of America is grim for it. Sold, communists.

America sold out by money-for-germ-warfare as horses Holy to the LORD (Zechariah 14:20) were sold out for this:


The deforestation of America: Wild horses lose out to cheap grazing and beef for China

Cattle vs. Wild Horses (2002-2018). All data BLM.

Excerpt:

Beef produced on public lands constitutes just 1.9% of the nation’s beef supply according to Erik Molvar, the director of the environmental group, Western Watersheds Project.

Public lands ranching subsidizes large livestock operations owned by millionaires and billionaires; less so mom-and-pop ranchers. As reported by New York Times science writer Stephen Nash in his 2017 book, Grand Canyon for Sale, “Some grazing allotments are shared among several permittees; some permittees control several allotments; sometimes it’s just one allotment, one permittee.

"Wild horses, if allowed to behave naturally, move constantly in their environment. They are great at weeding out excess fire fuel and even reseed a healthy range with native vegetation..."

Once there were 2 million, today way less. Profit-driven industry needlessly takes them off public lands designated to them. Decisions are made without the majority of the consent of the governed who have been kept in the dark to the extent of persecution extended federally protected wild horses and burros.

The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 was written to humanely manage them in the wild, not capture, harass, kill. The theft of wild horses and burros is against a law President Richard Nixon signed as he understood them to be an integral part of the land, that the land was not without horses.

Native originally to North America, wild horses are of the first Native Americans, an umbrella species to native animal and plant species. Highly evolved is the beautiful wild horse that has been scapegoated, as the adorable burros are, suffering under color of law by what takes a federal law and misinterprets.


*The Bureau of Land Management's Nefarious Brutal Plan for Wild Horses

"It will cost American taxpayers $1 billion to expel these animals from the dedicated rangelands where they currently live at no cost to taxpayers. Thousands of wild mares could be subjected to ovariectomy, a discredited, brutal form of sterilization. In the end, hundreds of thousands of once-wild animals will languish in crowded holding pens — and taxpayers will be footing the bill.

Wild horses are federally protected animals. The 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act established their ranges as dedicated habitat to be “managed principally ” for their welfare. Flouting this law, the BLM has removed wild equids from nearly half of their designated 52 million acres...

The BLM plans to wipe out three herd management areas in Wyoming’s famed Checkerboard and sterilize an entire herd in a fourth — “zeroing out” 2.5 million acres of their habitat for continual use by privately owned livestock.

In Nevada, the BLM intends to eliminate six herds in the Caliente Complex, imprisoning 1,700 wild horses at taxpayer expense. They will also take 1,800 wild horses from Oregon’s Barren Valley, proposing sterilization as “management,” killing off the “wild” in these wild horses.

Seventy-three percent of Arizona’s Black Mountain herd (1,727 wild burros) are slated to be removed despite a finding by the National Academy of Sciences that this could “jeopardize the genetic health of the whole population.” Even Montana’s famed Pryor Mountain herd could be cut in half, threatening the horses’ genetic survival.

Millions of privately owned cattle will remain on federal rangelands, their taxpayer-subsidized grazing often expanded after wild equids are ejected from the land.

The BLM’s insidious plan will reduce America’s wild equid population to roughly the level estimated in 1971, when Congress declared them “fast disappearing from the West” and acted unanimously to protect these heritage animals from extinction. The plan is based on a staggering compilation of misinformation and greed..."

100% false.

There are many educators who know most of this crap is false. Why don't they step up and speak out?

Are North America’s wild horses native?

Should the wild horses that roam North America be considered native wildlife? They may have been “introduced” by man, but scientific evidence suggests that they are genetically the same as the horses that became extinct on the continent between 11,000 and 13,000 years. In fact, the genus Equus could have been wiped out entirely had it not crossed the Bering Stait land bridge into Eurasia. Jay F. Kirkpatrick, Ph.D. and Patricia M. Fazio, Ph.D.* look at the evidence.

...

Had it not been for previous westward migration, over the land bridge, into northwestern Russia (Siberia) and Asia, the horse would have faced complete extinction. However, Equus survived and spread to all continents of the globe, except Australia and Antarctica.

In 1493, on Columbus’s second voyage to the Americas, Spanish horses, representing E. caballus, were brought back to North America, first in the Virgin Islands, and, in 1519, they were reintroduced on the continent, in modern-day Mexico, from where they radiated throughout the American Great Plains, after escape from their owners.²

...

The key element in describing an animal as a native species is (1) where it originated; and (2) whether or not it co-evolved with its habitat. Clearly, E. caballus did both, here in North American. There might be arguments about “breeds,” but there are no scientific grounds for arguments about “species.”

The non-native, feral, and exotic designations given by agencies are not merely reflections of their failure to understand modern science, but also a reflection of their desire to preserve old ways of thinking to keep alive the conflict between a species (wild horses) with no economic value anymore (by law) and the economic value of commercial livestock.

Native status for wild horses would place these animals, under law, within a new category for management considerations. As a form of wildlife, embedded with wildness, ancient behavioral patterns, and the morphology and biology of a sensitive prey species, they may finally be released from the “livestock-gone-loose” appellation.

THE WILD FREE-ROAMING HORSES AND BURROS ACT OF 1971
(PUBLIC LAW 92-195)


§1331. Congressional findings and declaration of policy

Congress finds and declares that wild free-roaming horses and burros are living symbols
of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West; that they contribute to the diversity of life
forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people; and that these
horses and burros are fast disappearing from the American scene. It is the policy of
Congress that wild free-roaming horses and burros shall be protected from capture,
branding, harassment, or death; and to accomplish this they are to be considered in the
area where presently found, as an integral part of the natural system of the public lands.

The BLM conspire to sell horses dirt cheap to truckers who take them to Mexico for slaughter ~ they pretend to put them up for adoption ~ our lower ranch is in Nevada east of Carson City ~ there is plenty of food and water except when they keep the Mustang away from water and food ~ we went to pick one up a while back ~ there were hundreds at the site ~ when we got there ~ they said there were only 6 ready that had shots and were broken ~ we don't want a broken horse can we take the one we choose to a Vet for shots ~ Oh, No can't do that ~ we were ready with the cash ~ but they sold the lot to the truckers to be trucked to death```
they don't get broke or shots to go to the death house ```
Years ago congress passed a law against using air craft to round up as it caused much injury and death, but they've gotten around that ```

There are no more herds of Mustangs only bands a big band would be up to 13 ~ the Mustang is from the Spanish there were no horses here that we know of, and some who were turned loose joined in to make what is today the Mustang we love ~ the girls use to sell paintings and knitted horses to help Wild horse league ~ BLM are not nice in any way ```
