50 Jahre ohne Hobby-Jagd im Kanton Genf
Seit dem Verbot der Hobby-Jagd im Jahr 1974 nach einer Volksabstimmung hat sich die Tierwelt sehr positiv entwickelt. Trotz seiner geringen Grösse von nur 282 km2 und einer starken Urbanisierung bei insgesamt 500’000 Einwohnern beherbergt der Kanton Genf eine vielfältige Fauna mit über 20’000 Tierarten. Die Zahl der überwinternden Wasservögel hat stark zugenommen und es gab noch nie einen…

Calico Mare Release
After a nearly 3.5 hour delay, BLM released 97 mares back into the Calico Complex. The mares were given a two doses of a heavy hitting hormonal fertility control substance used in domestic mares with severe ovarian disease to stop ovulation for 5-10 years. BLM is switching herds from the 1-2 year non hormonal PZP to the heavy GonaCon westwide as they rely on studies that focus on “cost” and not…

Hello! I hear an awful lot about TNR programs for cat colonies, but is this kind of program in place for wild horses (in the USA or elsewhere)? I know wild horses can be a big problem sometimes and their often just caught and sold but they don't really belong here in North America any more than fetal cats do.
GV here.
The traditional method of rounding up wild horses to be sold is still used today for BLM mustangs and burros, as well as the Virginia half of the Assateague island herd. Since 1988, the Maryland side of Assateague Island has controlled the population of the ponies by way of a dart gun vaccination containing a non-hormone treatment, known as PZP, that blocks fertilization. This vaccine lasts for about a year. There is also a vaccine that blocks the hormone GnRH, called GonaCon. One dose of the GonaCon vaccine is marginally effective for 1-2 years, but if a mare receives a second dose, she can be infertile for 4 or more years. This vaccination practice is a non-invasive and virtually harmless way to control the population. It has more recently been tried on wild mustangs and burros with much success. However, because it must be regularly re-applied it is unlike TNR. Studies done on BLM mutangs have shown that castration of stallions is actually less effective (in terms of both reduction in herd numbers and cost) than the vaccination sterilization of mares, so TNR wouldn’t really even be that effective in horses.
The other key difference between cat colonies and horse herds is that a horse is lucky to carry one foal to term each year, and the foal requires at least 2-3 years to become fertile and successfully carry a foal. Meanwhile, cats produce 3-6 kittens per litter on average, can produce 3-4 litters per year, and kittens take only 5-6 months to become fertile. That is why permanent sterilization is more important in cats.

When Money And Ego Control Wild Horse Management
When Money And Ego Control Wild Horse Management
Some wild horse non-profits favor the use of artificial chemicals to control wild horse populations.
This obtuse and unnatural concept and resulting wild horse management policies subjects large and small wild horse families to genetic erosion and social disintermediation. Stallions can sense when a mare is infertile and will favor a fertile mare.
The use of PZP or GonaCon on any wildlife…

Scrapped Feline Contraception Study Sheds Light on Cat Research

University of Illinois researchers studying a contraceptive vaccine called GonaCon developed a unique study environment intended to mimic free-roaming cat populations. Cats were housed in a large, two-level open enclosure with many enrichment opportunities, including a climbing tree, furniture, toys, scented objects, hidey-holes and an outdoor enclosure.
Volunteers also played with and trained the cats. Instead of using lab cats, cats were brought in from a local shelter. Although GonaCon ultimately was not shown to be effective for preventing pregnancy, lead investigator Amy Fischer believes she will use the hybrid research/shelter facility in the future to test new contraceptive technologies.

BLM Seeks Comments on Silver King HMA Assessment
New Post has been published on http://lovehorses.net/blm-seeks-comments-on-silver-king-hma-assessment/
BLM Seeks Comments on Silver King HMA Assessment
Photo: Thinkstock
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Silver King herd management area (HMA), in Nevada.
The BLM said it is is seeking comments on the EA, which analyzes the need to gather and remove excess wild horses from within and outside the Silver King HMA. The HMA, located in Lincoln County, Nevada, is 606,000 acres in size. The appropriate management level for the Silver King is 60 -128 horses; the BLM completed a population inventory in February 2017 and estimated the population to be 850 animals.
By implementing the actions outlined in the proposed wild horse gather EA, the BLM hopes to be able to improve vegetation, habitat, and watershed health. Removing excess animals would enable significant progress toward achieving the Standards for Rangeland Health identified by the Mohave-Southern Great Basin Resource Advisory Council, the agency said.
The BLM would also collect information on herd characteristics and determine herd health during the gather. In addition to the proposed gather and removal of wild horses, some wild horses would be released back into the HMA. Fertility control treatments of PZP and GonaCon, are addressed in the EA.
The BLM’s Ely District Office is requesting feedback on the EA and has made the document available for review and public comment. The 30-day public comment period began on July 14 and submissions will be accepted until 4:30 p.m., PDT, on Aug. 14. The document is available online at bit.ly/2ubBSRZ and hardcopies are available upon request from the Ely District Office.
Interested individuals should address all written comments to Ben Noyes, wild horse and burro specialist, using either of the following methods. Be advised that only the comments received by postal mail or to the specific e-mail address will be considered in the completion of the final EA:
E-mail: [email protected]
Mail: Bureau of Land Management Ely District Office 702 N. Industrial Way Ely, NV 89301
Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or any other personal identifying information in your comment, be aware that your entire comment, including personal identifying information, could be made publicly available at any time. While individuals can request BLM to withhold personal identifying information from public view, the BLM cannot guarantee it will be able to do so.

Deer birth control followup
An update on Bald Head Island's incipient deer contraceptive program (as posted about prior here).
The plan on Bald Head Island to manage the local deer population with birth control drugs is at a judgment stage.
There’s plenty of momentum to be the first community in North Carolina to successfully carry out “immunocontraception” as a humane alternative to the old, fatal standard.
But in a wash of challenges–bad weather a big one–it again fell short of its goal this past week to successfully “immunize” 20 to 30 female deer–the amount that project officials said they needed for an adequate trial.
Rest of the story here.

Triple B, release (fertility control, fiscal 2022 notes)
Yesterday, the BLM released 5 trailers, containing 50 mares treated with 2 doses of GonaCon. GonaCon is a long lasting hormonal birth control vaccine. Given in 2 doses, infertility can last 5-7 years or longer. When older mares are treated (which is standard practice for BLM) infertility can last the for the remainder of the lifetime of the mare. BLM says that they treat mare that are not…
