the whole issue was stirred up
by a "misleading editorial" in
the magazine "Dumb Animals"
entitled "wild horses doomed,"
which he said was full of distor

animal lover who reads it.
Admitting there are bands of
horses running wild in Oregon,

Leffier maintained that they are
not wild descendents of the Span
ish horses brought by early ex
plorers. They are mostly saddle
or work horses which roamed
away or were turned out to
fend for themselves. Even the
wildest are second-generation do
mestic horses, he claimed.
Death Toll Saddening
Although the 'death toll from
winter starvation is enormous,
and saddening," Leffler said, the
horses are generally elusive to

fall prey to horse-hunting truck
riders. "They are extremely dif
ficult to trap even on level
ground. They prefer rocky slopes
wiiere torturous terrain foils the
hunter on horseback. A hunter
using a truck has even less a
chance."
"At one time there were so
many wild horses on the public
ranges that they were destroy
ing a great deal of forage," re
called Leffler. "Forage-eating
animals necessarily had to be
limited to some degree, lest the
ranges be laid waste. The horse
bands could not be restricted by
range licensing as are domestic
animals, nor could they be con
trolled by hunting as are game
animals. The horses had to be
gathered to preserve the range
and gurantee a continued food
supply for all forms of animal
life. Incidentally, the gathering
of horses has been largely con
trolled by local, county and state
laws, not subject to federal reg
ulation of any sort."
Responsibility
Taking responsibility for wild
horse refuges is a gift nag Lef
fler looked square in the teeth.
It would have to cover thou
sands upon thousands of square
miles, he observed, because mi
gratory horses are so far-roaming.
They might be here today,
50 miles away tomorrow and 50
miles further on the next day.
On the vast wildlife refuge
system of the West, a few horses
are found from time to time.
"If the day ever comes when
extinction threatens them, meas
ures will have to be taken to pre
serve the species," he declared.
"We are unable to see any such
need. As long as there is open
range left, the horses will be
with us. They are too wary to
be wiped out with ease."
Leffler agrees that the present
situation isn't what it should be,
but he sizes it up like this:
"The real cruelty is not the
gathering of horses, but the
abandoning of them, leaving
them to starve in winter."
