Horses are like any other animal. They eat. And there's only so much forage available. Landscape might be green but that doesn't mean the horses will eat it. Horses compete with other herbivores too. Like deer. And don't forget about the parasites in the poop that gets into the salt river.
Horses eating vegetation reduced wild fire risk. I saw wild horses near rhe Tonto river being taken care of by a crazy Karen. These animals belong to Apache tribes.

I find it HILARIOUS that you think I am "poorly educated" and that I need "to go do some research".....you have never met me yet here you are making judgements about me.

The reason they want to take those horses is because that will make them at the least meat price 150,000 for the amount of horses they want to kill. It is about slaughter and an idea that they don't have a right to life. It is about making money from them.

If not for the equally disgusted volunteers who pick up after them, the river would be nothing short of one large garbage dump at this point. These horses fertilize the shores with their manure, reduce the wildfire risk by eating the dead grasses, and are declared "wildlife" by the State of Arizona. Thanks to the relentless CBD, the horses in Alpine, AZ are, at this moment, being brutally rounded up, family units split apart, and being auctioned off for slaughter. On this weekend's auction are 10 nursing mares and their foals. If they aren't saved by rescue, they are destined to become dogfood.

There's a problem with people who think feral animals should just be left to thier own divices. Feral dogs cats and horses deserve food water and veterinarian care. These horses are eating what the native animals would be eating. In the case of cats they eat the native wildlife. These horses are drinking that gross salt river water they tell you not to get in when the human waste gets too high in it ... thats cool for horses too
Feral cats have decimated the wild songbird population. There are literally species of wild songbirds that are now extinct because of feral cats. Feral horses along the Salt will have consequences as well.
