I have been visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park for over 30 years. Most years twice a summer. I, like so many others, look forward the most to sighting the wild horses. Now I hear that they are considering removing wild horses from the park — permanently. If this is done there will no longer be a reason to visit that park. This would be a Huge mistake!
Sincerely,

Long before Theodore Roosevelt became America’s 26th president, he spent years as a rancher in the rugged lands preserved by this national park.
State(s): North Dakota
Established: 1947
“I believed that all the resident species would be protected there. I did not expect that the National Parks would play God and consider eliminating some just because they can.”
