BISMARCK, N.D. — The beloved wild horses that roam freely in North Dakota’s Theodore Roosevelt National Park could be removed under a National Park Service proposal that worries advocates who say the horses are a cultural link to the past. Visitors who drive the scenic park road can often see bands of horses, a symbol of the West and sight that delights tourists. Advocates want to see the horses continue to roam the Badlands, and disagree with park officials who have branded the horses as “livestock.” The Park Service is revising its livestock plans and writing an environmental assessment to

Comments:

Government officials don't just want to 'thin the herd'. They want all the wild horses forcibly removed from the park. Most will end up in a slaughterhouse.

If they were only salamanders or three-toed orange frogs...they would be put on an endangered list and the park would be off-limits to anyone other than Park Rangers.

Is that removed or killed? There is a reason they are saying removed. Otherwise, their plan gets shot down.

Millions trashing and overrunning our borders - but horses are the problem to address. Thousands dying from the accompanying drugs the mules bring, but horse gotta go. And no more than 2 beers for you.

Wild horses have roamed the American west since the Spanish explored the area, right at 400 years ago. In some areas, they have been according to some sources been causing erosion and other problems. IMO, ALL species have found new ranges, as long as the planet has been in existence. Some species go extinct, others expand their ranges. The world changes. Imagining that some one particular snapshot in time is "the perfect situation", whether species or weather, is an extreme arrogance. Control the numbers to prevent overpopulation may be reasonable, but just removing them seems foolish, expensive and pointless.

FTA...'sight that delights tourists.' Operative words right there. Anything that brings joy to Americans has to be destroyed. Though I disagree with the statement that Native Americans have cultural ties to horses. Europeans brought horses to the New World 500 years ago, the indigenous peoples living here at the time had killed off all the horses centuries before they came.

Re #6, 12,000 years ago, humans were an invasive species on this continent, and the one joined to the south. Unless an invasive species causes some food crop to fail, or destroys some useful plant or animal, I'm not so sure that "as it was in 1890" or some other arbitrary date is any magical talisman of what species are OK and what species are not. I'd sure have rather that the fungus that killed essentially all the native chestnut trees hadn't come here, because by all reports it was a truly awesome, useful, beautiful tree with very good wood for furniture and such. Small, isolated groves still exist, far enough from the other so that the fungus has never made it, and a botanist friend who has seen a grove in Oregon says that the old stories are right, they are magnificent trees. But, unless a useful species is harmed, perhaps that's just the way things go.

As much as I hate to say it, there are no "wild horses" in North America. They are "feral horses" and have been an intrusive species on the continent for 500 years since they escaped from the Spanish. (The pigs the Spanish brought at the same time are called "feral hogs.") They are nothing like their tiny three-toed ancestors, who were indigenous to the continent a few million years back, who went extinct here well before horses became even donkey-sized.

Ukraine war takes dramatic turn as Russian

Ukrainian authorities ordered a mandatory evacuation of several villages and three dozen other populated areas as Russian troops advanced on the Kharkiv province. The evacuation directive applies to 37 settlements that Russian forces captured early in the 18-month-old war but were liberated by a Ukrainian counteroffensive in September. Citing a Russian attempt to push back into the area, the military administration in the Kupiansk district told roughly 12,000 residents to seek safety elsewhere. The order was initially issued on Aug. 10 but residents have been reluctant to relocate despite Russia's renewed push to retake the region. The resurgence comes as

BARCELONA, Spain — Climate activists have spraypainted a superyacht, blocked private jets from taking off and plugged holes in golf courses this summer as part of an intensifying campaign against the emissions-spewing lifestyles of the ultrawealthy. Climate activism has intensified in the past few years as the planet warms to dangerous levels, igniting more extreme heat, floods, storms and wildfires around the world. Tactics have been getting more radical, with some protesters gluing themselves to roads, disrupting high-profile sporting events like golf and tennis and even splashing famous pieces of artwork with paint or soup.

A preseason game between the Dolphins and Jaguars in Jacksonville was called off Saturday evening after rookie Miami wide receiver Daewood Davis was injured and carted off the field. With 8:35 to play, Dolphins quarterback James Blackman attempted to find Davis over the middle but missed. Jacksonville linebacker Dequan Jackson leveled the 24-year-old rookie, drawing a flag for unnecessary roughness as Davis lied motionless on the turf. As both teams gathered around him, Davis was eventually removed from the field and the game canceled. In a tweet, Miami announced that Davis "suffered an injury in tonight’s game and has been

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is making changes to a campaign promise that sought to fight homelessness by raising taxes after drawing concerns about the burdens a tax hike could bring on property owners. Johnson's proposed tax system would shift away from the city's flat tax rate on all property sales in Chicago. His proposal, which initially had two tiers, is now looking to break home sales into three categories, causing dissatisfaction among owners of high-end properties. The original proposal, which Johnson pitched on the campaign trail, called for two tiers: 0.75% tax on home sales below $1 million and 2.65%

A majority of priests of the Church of England want the church to offer same-sex weddings and allow premarital and gay sex, according to a major survey. The survey, conducted by the Times, found most Anglican priests think church teaching should be brought into line with public opinion on moral issues. Most priests support a change to allow gay couples to get married in church, with 53.4 percent in favor and 36.5 percent opposed, revealed the survey, which assessed responses from 1,200 active Anglican priests. The Church of England currently allows blessings for gay couples but only permits church weddings between a man and a woman.

In recent years, auto thefts and carjackings have become ordinary events in the streets of Chicago, often occurring in the middle of the day and sometimes being live-streamed on social media as they occur. Last year, Chicago reported more than 21,000 vehicle thefts. In 2021, the number was “only” 14,000. Unfortunately, things are getting much worse. As of this writing, Chicago has experienced more than 20,000 vehicle thefts, with nearly four months before the year ends.

Federal revenue dropped $416 billion compared to this time last year, according to recently released U.S. Treasury Department data, despite the Democrats’ passage of their $780 billion Inflation Reduction Act last year. The legislation, which President Biden signed in August 2022, contained a 15% minimum corporate income tax, which still hasn't been fully implemented by the IRS. Experts at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and the Tax Foundation told Just the News that most of the revenue raising provisions in the IRA have not taken effect yet but they likely won't raise much revenue given the price-tag of the energy-related tax credits in the bill.
