BISMARCK – (KCND) – A resolution urging the federal Secretary of the Interior and the National Park Service to keep wild horses and longhorn steers in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park has passed the House.
The horses are in the South Unit, while the steers are in the North Unit.
The Park Service proposed removing those animals.
On the House Floor, Minot Republican Representative Jay Fisher urged the passage of Senate Concurrent Resolution 4014.
He said the resolution is legislative intent asking the U.S. Interior Department to find a way to manage the wild horses and the longhorn herd in a way and size which can protect the environmental integrity and capacity of the park.
It passed on a voice vote. It goes back to the Senate because the House added amendments.
