They have been doing a great job of managing the horses according to the writer of a letter to Tuscon dot com.
They administer birth control and provide water troughs and feeding programs at no cost to the government.
Much to her dismay, the Forest Service wants to reduce the herd to 100 or 150 horses, which is the next stop on the tour.
Environmental groups that want it cut to 50 or less will get their wish.
Those who want it wiped out altogether will be gratified.
There is no need to continue the charade. Most of the mares have been ruined by the advocates, which the writer ignores.
Other characteristics omitted from the letter:
- Injuries and infections
- Elevated death rate
- Abnormal sex ratio
- Loss of genetic diversity
- Selection for faulty immune systems
The writer wants you to send letters to the governor and other officials to keep the herd in the Tonto National Forest even though her buddies are doing the opposite.
