Hot take: in areas we haven’t reintroduced wolves or other predators, feral horse populations should be controlled so they don’t compete with native buffalo.
Edit: even hotter take: mountain lion hunting should be banned so they can help take care of deer and horses.
Wild horse populations on federal land are usually actively managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
I assume this is different and worse, both because the BLM was gutted and because with this administration things invariably are, but I don’t know enough of the details to say further.
Broken clock moment, they’re not native and they make it harder for native species to survive, there shouldn’t be any wild horses in the Americas, they’re literally just feral domesticated animals that we do nothing about because people think they’re beautiful or whatever other stupid justification. This is a good thing.
feral horses
The horses should be in sanctuaries.
Why do you say they should they be in sanctuaries rather than the wild?
If they’re an invasive species it could be a threat to the ecosystem.
So are Taco Bell franchises.
Wait, I thought wild horses were native to the Americas?? Are they invasive? Thats wild
I think a lot of the current day wild horses come from Europe.
Oh interesting. But horses themselves are native right? are there different species of horses that occupy different ecological niches that might cause ecological problems by them being here? (No worries if you dont know I’m just curious)
Thanks for the explanation!
As I understand, there are no native US horses. The native American cultures that had horses integrated them into their culture after the arrival of Europeans.
I actually just learned that the Assateague horses didn’t come from surviving a ship wreck but from people in the 17th century avoiding HOA rules.
Wait until you see what humans - a rapidly -spreading invasive species originally from africa mixed with a group from france about 200,000 years ago - are doing to the ecosystem !
Sanctuary? Sign me up!
Maybe it’d help to release some polar bears into the suburban ecosystem to help curb the population.
So tons of Trump mystery meat appears and they refuse to say where it’s from.
Meanwhile, this is happening.
Is the media scared of being sued for making this connection? Nobody seems to be relating the two, but it seems so obvious.
