2000 lbs of horses on a trail, imagine the damage cause by those
animals and yet Michael J. Vandeman is defending them instead of
trying to get them banned.


Horses are native to North America and have a right to go wherever

But you claimed the native horses were wiped out by early humans,
these are not native horses, thus they do not belong.
