An advocacy group near Corolla, NC recently installed a billboard reminding tourists not to feed the horses that roam the area. It’s part of a campaign to educate visitors about the dangers of human interaction with the wild herd.
Yes, wild horses should eat food from their natural habitat, such as beach grass, but carrots and apples are not going to kill them.
The problem is hand feeding, not apples and carrots. Bananas and fig newtons, not covered by the initiative, should be offered instead?
