This truly is a heartbreaking dilemma - these ponies are part of Dartmoors living heritage, not just livestock. We must find sustainable solutions that protect both the ecosystem and these gentle creatures. Perhaps we could explore relocation programs or controlled breeding to manage populations ethically?
