200 horses have been found dead in a Navajo region in northern Arizona.
Navajo Nation Vice President Jonathan Nez says these animals were searching for water to stay alive. In the process, they unfortunately burrowed themselves into the mud and couldn't escape because they were so weak.
Furthermore Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye state this tragic incident exemplifies the problem the Navajo Nation faces in an overpopulation of feral horses while horses dying at the Gray Mountain stock pond isn't new. It's a seasonal issue.
