Alberta's Feral Horse Population Surges, Provincial Plan in Action
Description
Albertas feral horse population hits record high, with officials struggling to manage growth in key zones like Sundre, Ghost River, Elbow, and Clearwater. The province plans to capture, adopt, and use contraception on mares to control numbers, protecting grazing spots for cattle and native wildlife. However, a local advocacy group disputes the official count, claiming its biologically impossible and backed by massive public support. The province seeks federal approval for contraception and emphasizes the need for real protection against poaching.
