In Nevada there's been a roundup of wild horses, because there's studies that if they aren't moved then there will be overpopulation and the resources will run out. While to some this seems like the best choice for the horses, others are concerned and protest that the airlifting and other transportation needed to move the animals can cause harm or death and is unethical.
Some things I wonder are whether they're really concerned with the animals running out of resources, or that the animals instincts will have them migrating to built up land where people just don't want to be bothered by them? Also, would the horses even know enough to migrate or would they die when the overpopulation occurs? It might not even be safe for them if they tried to get to more resources and into land where people are. Another thing I wonder is whether the overpopulation is in any way caused by humans tinkering with the environment.
What do you believe it is in the best choice? Move the animals or let nature take its course, and keep the horses where they are? Is it worth it to have a few horses dies in order to potentially save them later?
