BLM & Forest Service Experimenting on Wild Horses | Straight from the Horse's Heart

BLM & Forest Service Experimenting on Wild Horses | Straight from the Horse's Heart

At the upcoming BLM National Wild Horse & Burro Advisory Board meeting, the board will likely bring up the subject of the field spaying of wild mares.
It is important to keep in mind that the BLM and Forest Service are partnering in EXPERIMENTING on our wild horses (and, in the case of the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, “feral” horses).  This advisory board was even discussing tubal ligation for mares (which seems to have been in trials in 2004).
Below is a presentation seemingly by LEON PIELSTICK, DVM, the veterinarian who has been conducting experiments on the field spaying of mares, and it shows (possibly Leon Pielstick himself) spaying a mare at a wild horse sanctuary.  There are also photos of a wild stallion during a vasectomy procedure, presumably at Sheldon.
