[QUOTE="Richard III, post: 5868418, member: 933"] I think it is still going, but there have been major issues with allowing animals to starve to control their numbers. The Oostvaardersplassen Project set out to be VERY low interventionist and stand back and watch. At Knepp they have been a little more pragmatic, they know the English public will not tolerate starving animals, so they cull excess numbers and sell the meat for good money. What has happened with Exmoor ponies at Knepp is interesting, they were culling excess stock, but the carcass had next to no value. So they have now gelded the males and the herd structure has completely fallen apart and they graze differently. Apparently Exmoor ponies are the nearest thing we have to a wild horse and their numbers are dangerously low. There is some woman somewhere doing good work conserving them and marketing their meat as part of the process. However, unfortunately she is having major issues and death threats from Vegans. I'm no expert on this matter, all I've done is read this book over Christmas, sometimes with a glass of red in my hand! :) [/QUOTE]
