    Hot take: in areas we haven’t reintroduced wolves or other predators, feral horse populations should be controlled so they don’t compete with native buffalo.

    Edit: even hotter take: mountain lion hunting should be banned so they can help take care of deer and horses.

      Wild horse populations on federal land are usually actively managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

      I assume this is different and worse, both because the BLM was gutted and because with this administration things invariably are, but I don’t know enough of the details to say further.
