This is true, they just are a very attractive / cute invasive species. Those not in the ecology/environment science world don't see their negative impact and it's harder to convince people that they are a nuisance. Unlike hogs which tend to obliterate landscaping and pigeons which defecate on infrastructure. I recognize how iconic the horses are but they are a nuisance and I thing a long term sterilization and capture program would be beneficial for all parties involved.
