(optional) I will start my small rant by saying, these horses are not technically wild but feral. This means they are not technically native to the environment despite being here for a long time. They kill lots of native grasses from eating and stomping which can starve Natural wildlife and kill the plant life. Some of the things they are doing (Slaughter houses) are extreme and shouldn't be done however overpopulation of any animal, native or not, can cause a domino effect to entire ecosystems leading to complete destruction. Managing horse population needs to be done and things such as 100 day challenges to shows versatility to the breed and cheap auctions are great ways to do this. 32) do you have little free time because of horses?
