You might not know who Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is, but you probably remember the stunt he pulled in March: riding a big, beautiful horse to his first day of work at the agency’s headquarters. The horse’s name was Tonto, and we all loved him, because horses are pure, good, and deserving of our love.<\/p>\n

Zinke has since pivoted to other publicity efforts, like installing<\/a> Big Buck Hunter in the agency’s cafeteria and launching “Doggy Day<\/a>” (a bring-your-dog-to-work initiative) at the Interior. He’s also proposed to shrink<\/a> four national monuments, cancelled a temporary ban<\/a> on new federal coal leases, and pushed for drilling<\/a> in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.<\/p>\n
