Besides if captive-breeding where the aim why have quite a few receiving collectors/ locations shot their stallions. This could be termed an animal welfare infringement - a measure of how these wild equids are being improperly handled or kept by the new location(s) -. Perhaps then, it really does not constitute a captive-breeding project at all ...? What is the SSP Equid TAG stance on the CCES/Gruenerwald disbandment? Have there been any approaches from the AZA zoo community to absorb individuals from them? |

To clear up some of the understanding, the collection was sent to alot of dealers who were willing to take great number of these animals and they were the ones with $ in mind. The AZA community for the most part doesn't care about these animals. How many vistors care to see a herd of kulan, kiang, takhi, and onager. The animals they want to see are zebras(Grevy's and Hartmann's) and many zoos recieved them and will be recieving more but for the most part there were 600-700+ equids how many institutions could take that many animals. Most zoos don't breed zebras or others as lack of space and interest

Frankly, Europe could support hundreds or thousands of wild horses, kulan and Somali wild ass. Only release them in open wildlife reserves with need of grazing.
Kulan and wild ass as replacements of extinct European wild ass (Equus hydruntinus) which was actually more related to kulans than true asses. There are some projects just outside Berlin, elsewhere in Germany and in Hungarian steppes. Could be more. What about Somali asses somewhere in Spanish steppes? or even in Morocco? Wild asses lived in North Africa until Roman times. |
