People Realize That WILD HORSE Herbivory helped CALFIRE In 2024, Oregon suffered its worse wildfire year to date with 1.9-million acres incinerated. California had a terrible year as well, and 2025 is off to a horrific start with over $100-billion in losses just from the January 2025 wildfires. Over the past 2 […]
Commingling wild horses with cattle and sheep in established grazing areas is a mistake for scientific and financial reasons, and the Bureau of Land Management (‘BLM’) knows this fact. Yet the BLM persists in the mismanagement of American wild horses. One could argue they don’t want to lose the $200-million/year in […]
Back in late 2017, I began a conversation with scientists and a few public land managers about what I had learned about Chronic Wasting Disease (‘CWD’), which now 8-years later is a hot public topic. In February 2018, I was asked to speak with Enviro-News about this topic. The loss of millions […]
The devastating grass and brush fueled wildfires in Los Angeles we are all witnessing may be just a glimpse of the upcoming summer in the western United States, unless we start doing something new and cost-effective. Funding and doing more of what hasn’t worked is a guarantee for failure. And as horrific as the […]
On Sunday Jan 5th, 2025, Epoch Times came out with an article written by Brad Jones, titled: “Wild Horses Can Help Prevent Wildfires, Advocates Say” A shocking reality was revealed by Ray Haupt’s quoted opinion from the article (see below). It seems that Siskiyou County Supervisor Haupt fails to realize that extensively published, […]
Americans had 90,000 American wild horses living wild and free in America in 2016 according to the Bureau of Land Management (‘BLM’). The BLM’s May 2024 census stated there were just 59,000, and that was before 20,000 more wild horses were rounded up during the balance of the year. Keep […]
In 1971, U.S. President Richard M. Nixon signed into law the Free Roaming Wild Horse & Burro Protection Act. That Law (Public Law 92-195), and the ultimate locations of wild horse herd areas, called Herd Management Areas (‘HMAs’) drew upon science from an era (1950-1960’s) that had very little understanding of […]
Probably the biggest reason that the wild horse advocacy has been maligned by many ranchers and environmentalists, is the wild misrepresentations and claims that are made by some wild horse nonprofits and grifting to attract donations from good-hearted people. The hard-earned money from donors must be treated with respect and […]
American wild horses and burros are federally protected by a Congressional Act signed by President Richard Nixon in 1971. Since the passage of the Act, The Bureau of Land Management (‘BLM’) has systematically and shamelessly used American taxpayer dollars to crank-out garbage misinformation, pretending that it’s science. And sadly, many […]
Does Wasting $200-Million of Your Tax Dollars Annually Concern You? Maybe not if you’re a agency administrator or a legislator whose grown accustomed to spending other people’s money without a second thought. That’s not to suggest all these folks are reckless with tax-dollars. But there are plenty who are spending our taxes without […]
