Protect Mustangs went out on the Pine Nut range, near Carson City, last Friday after the judge's ruling and found less wild horses than we hoped we would. This herd is probably the most famous herd in Nevada from the film The Misfits, starring Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. We are grateful to have found the Pine Nut wild horses living in peace and harmony on their native land. For now they have been spared the cruel roundup, forced drugging, removals and tearing apart of families forever. Thanks to Friends of Animals' & Protect Mustangs' Pine Nut lawsuit--currently active in federal court--these wild horses won't be shipped off to sordid holding pens without shade or shelter from the elements. Those over 10-years-old won't be shipped to slaughter while we continue to fight in court for what's right. Wild horses must never be forced to live in zoo-like settings with humans running a PZP-based breeding program--abolishing the survival of the fittest. This would manage them to extinction. There is a lot of misinformation and fear mongering going around about our Pine Nut lawsuit. Some Spin Drs are making false claims to confuse the public and their followers about the PZP issue within our lawsuit. Here are the facts: PZP doesn't stop roundups. The BLM would need to roundup the herd to give them the EPA approved pesticide--made from slaughterhouse pig ovaries--known as PZP. Then they would use that as an excuse to rip 200 wild horses from their native land. Today the herd is underpopulated on the range. When nature's balance is disrupted and there aren't enough left to help eat the grass, then catastrophic wildfires will occur. The BLM's chosen management number for the Pine Nut wild horses is outrageously low. What the Spin Dr.s really don't want you to know is that PZP sterilizes after multiple use.

The Pine Nut wild horses are very, very happy they have been spared for now. It's essential to get technical services for court evidence to keep them free and safe in the wild.
