NOTAGS Report post Posted yesterday at 02:03 PM That’s good news. I still think it would be less expensive( and more fun) to classify them like feral pigs, as in shoot on sight. No difference. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesPursuit Report post Posted yesterday at 02:53 PM Anything is a start. It is too bad my crazy idea would never work. It will be easy for this audience to blow holes in an elevator version here, but.. Similar to how they attempted assigning special tags to bison on the north rim, assign specialized individuals (like highly competent hunters, with training, who would do it for free) infertility dart equipment to go out and non-lethally/morbidly "tag" every feral horse they can on the landscape. I'm sure government officials would be needed for risk purpose. Logistics and politics aside, the idea is to meet the horse folk in the middle, and let the existing animals live out there days but perpetually manage the herd to reduce the population to near/zero, where it needs to be. I just don't see killing them to be a realistic, viable option with such emotional public support to their existence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted yesterday at 03:59 PM Domestic horses can live that long but in the wild they tend to live much shorter lives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted yesterday at 04:25 PM I thought they were using the horses to help with fire control? Insane what they have done to the landscape up on the rim!!! Send them all to chow! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
