Feral horse removal

[bayoublaster7527]

During the 2008 financial collapse, several horses were released along the AZ roadways by callous owners. A few dozen horses would up around a lake. These are 100% domestic horses. These are not mustangs. And yet, are being called wild horses as funds are being raised and petitions are being signed to save these horses which are creating tremendous damage to the ecosystems as an invasive specie. No idea how many horses are in the area after almost two decades but the damage is going to take decades for nature to reverse. Facts are useless against a motivated group of people deciding what is best for your backyard.

Great post and perfect example of why removal is critical. It also highlights the crazed ideology and activists that sportsmen and women face in states like CO, WA, OR, and AZ.

There is no bigger crazy than horse crazy.

Need to find someone to stop O&G drilling because of Wild Horses and Burros act. Burgum will have them shot from a helicopter so fast the coyotes won't be able to keep up.

That’s a brilliant angle- call it “critical habitat for protected wild horses”, then sue to shut down the development. Might work for solar fields, too.
