The horses should be in sanctuaries.

    Why do you say they should they be in sanctuaries rather than the wild?

    If they're an invasive species it could be a threat to the ecosystem.

    I think a lot of the current day wild horses come from Europe.

    Oh interesting. But horses themselves are native right? are there different species of horses that occupy different ecological niches that might cause ecological problems by them being here? (No worries if you dont know I'm just curious)

    Thanks for the explanation!

    Wait until you see what humans - a rapidly -spreading invasive species originally from africa mixed with a group from france about 200,000 years ago - are doing to the ecosystem !
