Non-Typical Solutions

I actually have taken horses to Out of AfricaI consider it recycling. Horses have to be terminal with vet letter and no drugs last 30 days. The staff there actually made it a pretty easy process. Offered to give the Phoenix Zoo one but they wanted it butchered and wrapped. Uhmmm, no. Not a bad alternative idea for the feral horses though.....lion meat at the Phx Zoo........win win???

Good story uglydude.......miracles do happen and dang that is awesome she got to do some hunting......hang in there!!!

Remember last year when the guy on the news told people to stay home and not come up on the mountain.........man he caught alot of grief from the businsses....

Probably need to change this..... 2017 TERRITORIAL CUP November 25, 2017 ASU - 42 zona - 30

DUH........................ https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/mesa/2018/05/19/deaths-salt-river-horses-along-bush-highway-lead-safety-measures/625418002/ CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMORE Five fatalities of horses being hit by cars since April along Bush Highway, three of them within the past week, have prompted new safety measures to warn drivers. Several message boards were placed along the highway, cautioning drivers to “slow down” and to “watch for horses," according to Tracy Ruth, communications-division manager for the Maricopa County Department of Transportation. Other commitments include working with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office to enforce speed limits and painting "watch for horses" signs on the asphalt. Simone Netherlands, president of Salt River Wild Horse Management Group, a non-profit organization that protects the wild horses, said the Transportation Department committed to short-term and long-term plans to improve safety along Bush Highway. “We really want to commend them for their fast action,” she said.

(Photo: Salt River Wild Horse Management Group) Netherlands said the increase in fatalities may have resulted from the recent addition of guardrails along portions of Bush Highway. “The horses were getting confused by the guardrails, they kept walking into them,” she said, and were stuck within the confines of the road at times. Since April, five horses have been killed. Two of the horses had unborn foals. No people have been seriously hurt in the collisions, according to the non-profit group. Ruth said the county's Transportation Department has worked with the non-profit group for nearly five years, but immediate action was necessary because “it had become a significant issue.” Ruth said some of the long-term safety measures may be completed within the next year. These include installing speed "flashback" signs to remind drivers when they exceed speed limits and placing horse-crossing signs. The county also will work on developing long-term solutions, including radar-triggered flashing lights that are activated when horses are on the road. Bush Highway cuts across the habitat for the Salt River horses, a herd that has long been the subject of advocacy and debate. In August 2015, the U.S. Forest Service announced it would round up and remove the herd of about 100 horses that roam near the Salt River Recreation Area. The Forest Service said the horses were causing safety issues, including traffic collisions on the Bush and Beeline highways. An outcry from animal lovers and politicians halted the planned roundups, and an agreement to protect the free-roaming horses was announced in December 2017. Under the agreement, the horses are no longer considered stray wildlife and the law makes it illegal to slaughter, harass, shoot, injure or kill the horses.

Ooops.....on the Diamond.....10-9!!!!

Good flip on negative to positive..............

Man....the one person on the comments really gets after it........she loves horses!!!!

I just find it interesting the things you can and can't do.....yet we let these not wild horses destroy and take from the available pie to the wildlife that is out there. No management, just let them run! I mean a rancher is at least held to a numbers count on how many cows per acre they can run yet these horses just multiply and nothing stopping them!

Very inspiring story about human capabilities and motivation! http://www.nbc4i.com/news/u-s-world/girl-with-no-hands-wins-handwriting-contest/1171579033 CHESAPEAKE, VA (WCMH) -- A girl in Virginia is showing that not having hands isn’t something that will hold her back. Anaya Ellick, 9, tells WTKR, she thinks she can do anything. “I’ll be able to do it if I try,” she says. And with Anaya’s latest achievement, it’s easy to believe her. Anaya was born without hands, but on Wednesday she was announced as the winner of the Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting contest under a special needs category for her ability to write so well in cursive. This isn’t the first time that Anaya’s penmanship has won her an award either. She won the same award in 2016 for her print handwriting. “I was happy and I thought my mom was joking when she said I won again,” the third grader tells WTKR. Anaya isn’t through yet though, she says she think she’s going to tackle sports next.

When I was a kid I got caught by NM G&F for shooting dove out of season with a .22 on my dad's farm.......I got two sitations....one for out of season and one for using an illegal firearm for taking dove! According to the books back then.....only a shotgun was legal firearm for taking dove.......according to that officer that memorable day!!!! And there were no "city limits" it was farmland middle of nowhere.......

How many square miles covered with ashpalt......for sure contributes to the temps......plus take away all the farm land that had cotton, corn......etc......wonder what people are gonna say when there isn't any water

That is torture.........it is funny talking about record setting years.....when I tell my boys the snow of 67 they all look at me like I'm crazy.......and then they hear other old timers mention it and it is like.....dad isn't as crazy as we thought!!

Oh I got it......I was just being sarcastic along with you.....I remember hoeing cotton in southern New Mexico.....in the 70's of course....dad dropped us off with a flatbastard, a gallon of ice water and told us he'd be back at noon to pick us up! Freckle faced red headed......it was hot then but it wasn't AZ Phoenix hot!!!
