    I’m very sure the ranchers are pleased. With more horses gone, the more “almost free” range they have for their cattle and sheep. If there is concern about the ecosystem, stop allowing cattle and sheep to grazing on the land. I don’t believe there would be any lack of elk and deer if that happened. I don’t recall reading anywhere that livestock is classified as “wildlife”.
