Decision on wild horses in Theodore Roosevelt National Park expected to come down in April

(Medora, ND) -- A decision is expected soon on whether wild horses in Theodore Roosevelt National Park will be removed.

The proposed removal of the horses has sparked intense debate in recent years. Those who want to keep the horses in the park say they are a big draw for tourists, while those who want to remove them say overgrazing from the horses is causing damage to vegitation, soil, and the local ecosystem.

Senator John Hoeven says a final decision will be made sometime next month.
