The Calico Complex Roundup to begin September 10, 2022
BELOW IS THE POST GATHER REPORT:
12-7-2022 BLM Press Release:
"The Black Rock Field Office concluded the Calico Complex wild horse gather near Gerlach, Nevada on October 1, 2022.
The contractor gathered and removed 863 excess wild horses and removed 837 excess wild horses from public lands. GonaCon, a population suppression control vaccine, was administered to 39 mares. The mares will get a second dose within approximately 30 days of the first dose and then be released back to the Calico Complex.
On or about December 13, 39 mares will be released back to the range within the Calico Complex."
We have two issues with the information in the press release:
1) the use of GonaCon; double dosing mares with this fertility control is a method of sterilization
2) is with this statement within the BLM Press Release: "Removing excess animals will enable significant progress toward achieving the Standards for Rangeland Health."
Why weren't livestock removed first since 67% of the available forage is allocated to livestock? Wild horses are to have primary use of their herd areas.
