Officials at Theodore Roosevelt National Park (TRNP) held a public question and answer meeting on Oct. 10, regarding the Livestock Plan that has been proposed at the park. This plan specifically addresses the wild horses and the long-horn steer that call the park home. These herds have lived on that land for over 150 years, but recently, park officials have decided to consider removing them from the park entirely.
Many members of the public have expressed their opposition to removing the horses from the land; however, park officials say that doing so would better align the park and its policies.
