(AP) – Wild horses will stay in North Dakota’s Theodore Roosevelt National Park amid fears from advocates that park officials would remove the beloved animals from the rugged Badlands landscape.
North Dakota U.S. John Hoeven says the National Park Service will abandon plans that could have removed the 200 or so wild horses that roam the south unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park near Medora.
In 2022, the Park Service began a process to craft a management plan for the horses. Proposals included removing the horses quickly or gradually or taking no action.
Thousands of people made public comments during the Park Service review, the vast majority of them in support of keeping the horses.
