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
they like. Bikes have no rights whatsoever. DUH!

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

We need to restore the horse to North America, just as we need to
restore the grizzly to California, because we wiped out both of them.

Maybe we should also restore polio while we're at it.

Humans belong here a heck of a lot less than horses.

If you really believed that, you would have removed yourself from this
planet a long time ago. You're still around because you are selfish.

Selfish people like mountain bikers can't understand doing anything to benefit some
one else, or wildlife.

Not funny. Polio still exist. Many that contracted it are now
experiencing a secondary reoccurance of it. Also, NO vaccine is 100%
effective. This has happened to some of my patients.

Whom are you talkig to?

Try and get the true point here before making assumptions that it was
an attempt at humor.

Of course it's not funny, it's absurd, but even more absurd is Michael
J. Vandemans response to the suggestion, he said "Yes, of course. But
humans are too selfish to do so."

Someone makes a totally absurd suggestion ( to make a point) and
another actually agrees with it, that's where you should be focusing
at this point, "PhD believes we should restore polio".

You make no sense whatsoever. Try writing in English.

Mike, you cannot successfully debate the merits of own points, flawed
as they are, let alone refute the merits of someone else's points. You
should avoid ad hominem arguments, although it would also silence you
if you did.
