The comment period closes tomorrow.
A story dated November 22 by AP News has been picked up by major news outlets.
The herd you see today is only an exhibit. It has little if any historical significance.
The original wild horses of TRNP, thought to be descendants of Sitting Bull’s ponies, were removed by the Park Service.
Some were rescued by the Kuntz brothers and taken to their ranch near Linton.
They called them Nokotas.
Their story is told in the 2011 documentary “Nokota Heart,” available on YouTube.
Most of this is ignored in the current discussion.
Those who claim to be voices for the horses are as phony as $3 bills.
All the talk about genetic diversity and minimum herd size means nothing when you’re poisoning the mares with ovary-killing pesticides and driving the breeding populations into the single digits.
