The Origins Foundation Podcast

Wild Horses across the range in the West are likely the most significant wildlife issue facing wildlife and habitat across the western range. Art Lawson, Director of Shoshone and Arapaho Fish and Game in Wyoming shares the amazing efforts they’ve put in removing feral horses in the Wind River Valley. The council, the community and the team, facing a lack of funding, rounded up almost 7,800 horses and restored acres of habitat in the process, showing what happens when you manage problem species accordingly.

While Ashlee is on Spring Break down in Florida, Robbie grabs Charles Whitwam from Howl for Wildlife to sub-in. Charles and Robbie naturally discuss the 4 step-children of the anti-use, anti-hunting community right now - which is California, Washington State, Colorado, and Oregon. Robbie and Charles give an update to where things stand with Catalina Island and the possible deer eradication by the Catalina Island Conservancy, they discuss the insanity that ensued from the Colorado Parks and Willdife Commission meeting about the fur ban, talk about the nonsensicalness of Oregon's IP28 anti-everything animal petition, and much more.

As Robbie prepares to jump on a flight to South Africa, he and Ashlee visit about the EXTREME anti-hunting and farming ballot initiative push in Oregon IP28, a Sandhill crane harvest bill that just passed the Wisconsin House and is headed to the Senate, a renewed legislative push in NY to ban the import of African hunting trophies and California’s attempt to cull all deer or Catalina island by aerial gunning while simultaneously trying to reintroduce grizzlies to the state.
