Theodore Roosevelt National Park Wild Horses Protection Act
Protecting Wild Horses in Theodore Roosevelt National Park
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill, introduced by Mr. Hoeven, would require the government to keep a permanent herd of wild horses in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It sets a minimum population of 150 horses to ensure the herd stays healthy and genetically diverse.
- The Department of the Interior would have 120 days to create a management plan. This plan must find a balance between taking care of the horses and making sure they do not harm the park's natural environment or other wildlife.
- The policy strictly limits when horses can be removed from the park. They could only be moved to help the herd's genetics, during emergencies, or if there is a threat to public health and safety.
- To keep the public informed, the government would have to check on the horses every year. They must release a public report showing how many horses there are and how healthy the herd is.
