Researchers from the University of Wyoming and Oklahoma State University argue that the U.S. federal government's management of wild horses is destined to fail due to flawed policies and laws. The paper, published in BioScience, highlights the need to redefine the classification of feral equids and implement effective management strategies to ensure population sustainability and address fiscal concerns. The researchers propose designating the horses as wild, livestock, or pets, allowing for appropriate management approaches and resource allocation.
