While we are still on invasive species in the US South Western Regions, what is 
everyone's opinion about wild horses in the US?
They are apparently introduced and became invasive, yet are protected by law. 
BLM manages them as invasive species, while there is a law suit in the 9th 
circuit court of Appeals to consider them as native species.

I always wondered about this issue while I was in NM.
