Wild horses are an invasive species. They drive off native species such as deer, antelope and wild sheep.

And cattle are native species that don't eat grass which could be used for deer, bison, etc.? Horses were native here thousands of years ago. Not cattle.

I thought the Spaniards brought the horses.

Cattle are owned and controlled. Horses were introduced to North America by the Spanish. Equis native to North America became extinct 11,000 - 13,000 years ago.

Leases for public land grazing of cattle have diminished greatly in the last 40 years. If the land can not support the cattle the livestock is not allowed on the ground or moved as soon as it is discovered.

The horses are left to destroy the land and starve to death.

Horses are not native.
