The descendants of burros released by old time gold and silver prospectors can cause havoc on local habitat when their numbers go unchecked.

Burro’s are awesome! Leave them alone they’re fine and so are we.
@manuelpcl65613 жыл бұрын
Burros do eat low hanging branches on mesquite and palo verde trees but that’s a good thing, when a brush fire comes along it doesn’t burn the tree down only the grass. It takes years for trees to regrow but brush and grass come back every year.

Well, horses and other equines actually evolved in North America and these native plant species evolved alongside them for millions of years, so calling them an invasive/non native is extremely short sighted. But hey, half these people believe the world is 6000 years old and believe evolution is a lie, so I shouldn't expect much. Up until the late Pleistocene (13,000 - 10,000 years ago) there were several different species of equids living across the continent, some resembling zebra, some wild asses and others the przewalski's horse, these animals grazed and browsed with vast herds of camelids such as the stilt legged llama and camelops, 2 species of peccary, bison, several species of antilocaprid (pronghorn), 3 proboscid genera (mammoths, mastodons, gompotheres), giant armadillos(glyptodontids), huge tortoises (bolsons), at least 3 species of giant sloth, deer, tapirs and a whole plethora of other species. They were hunted and scavenged by a diverse selection of predators from Jaguars, pumas, wolves and lions (Panthera leo atrox) to Smilodon and America's own species of cheetah (Miracinonyx, actually a puma adapted for a similar lifestyle). They only became extinct when humans arrived and started exploiting and changing the ecosystem. Everything spouted by the people who 'manage' the land is a lie. These animals should be there, along with many, many others, instead cattle and they money they bring have been a cause for war against wildlife.

@@izzygarcia4303 One day your will realize the bull that horses vacated completely. Many genetic dna studies are bringing to life our wild horses unique genetic (curlies, Bronze age =5000 year old dna - extinct since the bronze age in Asia but is alive and well in Am.wild horses, the cream drapht, etc.) not to mention bones found with pottery shards post 2000 years old - yet to be tested as well as thousands of other bones found in ancient digs because of those who control our institutions funding do not want the truth out. and paleo cave art, especially in Arizona with horse pics and are from very old tribes (pre-spanish). .... Plus, a horse is a horse, even if a horse was released in the wild and survived and adapted back (reintroduced) is still the exact same species that lived with the exact same species of grasses etc. -- besides 7000 years is only an 1/2 hour gone compared to how long they have been here. (most wild horses lack a 6th vertibrae, have primative striping, have harder slower growing hooves, ). So, enough out there to say lets stop this downgrading the wild horse and lets allow study to be open and honest without extractors determining what is found, researched etc. As far as burro, time will also tell when they left or not - also depicted on cave art.

Yanno actually horse's and direct related animals such as Mule, or Burro taste quite good. The meat they produce is actually excellent. I've tasted Foal and horse in Iceland as well as France and found it quite tasty. You people that think eating horse is gross are very UNINFORMED. Try it before you condemm it.
