Miller Creek Hearing Draws Support for Wild Horses

A report by KTMF News says a packed public meeting on June 11 brought out strong opinions about what should happen next to the horses roaming in the area.

Many residents want to keep them on the landscape.

But County Commissioners have drafted a resolution to establish a process for private landowners to capture abandoned horses located on their property, request Department of Livestock inspection to confirm they’re not owned and guide the transfer of the animals through approved channels.

Section 6 covers disposition.

A keyword search of the proposal yielded these results:

  • Fertility – 0 occurrences
  • PZP – 0
  • Zonastat – 0
  • Advocate – 0
  • Humane – 5

Comments can be submitted at the county’s website for the Miller Creek herd.
