Saskatchewan considers new law to protect wild ponies in the Bronson Forest « Straight from the Horse's Heart

The shooting deaths of wild ponies in northwestern Saskatchewan has prompted the government to consider a new law to save the animals.

A private member’s bill has been introduced in the legislature that would protect the herd of ponies that live in the Bronson Forest, northeast of Lloydminster, near the Alberta boundary.

“Our herd has dwindled from 150 to less than 40 and we’re finding piles of dead animals,” said Saskatchewan Party’s Tim McMillan, who introduced the bill Thursday.
