What You Need to Know about Wild Horse Areas

There are three layers of forage demand in HMAs: Horses, livestock and wildlife.

• The carrying capacity of HMAs, referred to on these pages as the True AML, depends on the horse and livestock layers
• The True AML represents the number of horses the HMAs could support if they were managed principally for them, as specified in the original statute
• Overpopulation means more horses than allowed by plan, not necessarily more horses than the land can support
• The livestock layer represents horses displaced from their lawful homes by permitted grazing, now in off-range holding
• The allotments mean the HMAs are used for animal agriculture, a purpose for which the fertility control pesticides were not registered
• Persons who apply the products in this manner should be investigated by law enforcement, along with those who authorize them
• The products are usually peddled as vaccines, but they are actually on the same EPA list as toxic chemicals

The advocates collaborate with the bureaucrats to beat the herds down so ranchers can access most of their food, and they want you to pay for it.
