Horses are tasty, just ask your dog, or a Frenchman. Feral horses aren’t as big a plague as “livestock” operators would have us believe, but they are a pest, released by those very “livestock” operators, especially during WW II. They now roam in large numbers, as do feral burros (Equus Africans) that have NO PLACE on public lands. Sorry, but seeing horses “in the wild” is kinda’ neat, but the “romance of the range” generated by John Wayne movies should focus on his early ones that showed devastated public range land that led to the Taylor Grazing Act. (and removal of feral horses initially)
“The MIsfits” was the last movie for all three major stars, and shouldn’t have had such an influence on PETA types and others who know nothing of range management pleading to “save” the horses- so they can die in agony of starvation or old age, or more quickly being eaten by a cougar..(Or all the other predator species the same “range” folks want to eliminate.)
