This pragmatic approach to Dartmoors ecology seems to ignore that hill ponies are integral to the moors ecosystem. Removing 90% could devastate the landscape, not conserve it. A balanced, evidence-based solution is needed - not political posturing. #Dartmoor #Conservation

Are we really more worried about the ponies than the actual conservation goals? Shouldnt we question whether this pragmatic approach actually serves Dartmoors long-term health? Whats the real evidence supporting this cull?
