Close Assateague Island to the public.
Close Assateague Island to the public.
The Issue
These animals are used as a cash cow for the state, nothing more. They do not care for these animals. No veterinarian care is given to sick or injured animals. They allow people to come on the island, putting the animals at risk. I've seen the horrific consequences of a car hitting a horse. The park did nothing to help the poor thing. Then they punish the animals when something goes wrong with a visitor, either euthanising or relocating horses that have deep emotional bonds with their bands, forever harming them. Stop the state of Maryland from harming our wild horse population for greed and money.
