Re: [RC] Oh, my...... - Zephyr ArabiansOy. While I think it's awesome to come across wild animals while riding, this one really bothers me. Sure, some of these critter's ancestors were here before the last ice age, but they do NOT fit into the current biological balance. And that's not even going into how the ranchers would feel about them. It would be one thing if someone has a couple hundred fenced acres to turn them out on, but even then they're going to do damage to the native flora & fauna. But, to turn them totally loose on the unsuspecting wildlife & plants? Oy. Just ask Austrialians how their various intentional and unintentional animal imports have affected their native species. ~Nicole --- Karen Standefer <karen_standefer@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Can you imagine running across one of these on your next endurance ride in Montana? http://slate.msn.com/id/2124714/ KS Zephyr Arabians http://www.zephyrarabians.com KattWmn Web Design http://www.kattwmn.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
