That is why I said in the traditional sense. Modern wild horses are protected for the reason you mentioned, afaik.
I've never eaten horse, to my knowledge, but I'm sure if I was hungry enough I would. We don't tend to eat horse, especially in the USA, because we have rules about what vaccines and drugs we allow in our food supply, and because horses (and dogs) are considered pets/working animals and not food, they're allowed more shots than say, cows or pigs.
I could be wrong in all of that, I'm just repeating what vets have told me.

I think they had 40-50 wild hogs on the Mayflower

horses aren't native to North America in the traditional sense. All horses on this continent are here because a tame horse escaped, went feral, and bred.

TIL that he has kids and I'm not sure how to process that information. I'm kind of glad that I never knew about them, despite being a fan since the early 90s. It means he was able to keep the spotlight off of them.

Reply to TIL Tom Brady was drafted by the Montreal Expos baseball team while still in high school, but instead chose to play football in college. This technically makes him the last player drafted by the Expos still playing professional sports. by _Abe_Froman_SKOC
I once met the majority of the Expos by mistake.

Reply to TIL That in 1774 James Cook charted Sandy Island off the coast of New Caledonia. Despite its' inclusion in official maps and charts for over two centuries in 2012 an Australian survey vessel proved the island had never actually existed and may have been a 'pumice raft' floating in the area. by GentPc
Didn’t the map makers used to add fake islands in order to check for forgeries?

Can you submerge them? I think that’s a technique for getting them apart, separate under water.

Fresh yeast tends to not last as long, so if you're not baking on a regular basis dried yeast is better for you.
I use dried yeast or sourdough starter, depending on what I'm making.

You’re right, ability and success, or in most cases wealth, are not the same thing.

Reply to TIL In 1971, the Guinness World Records listed Clara as the "Most Indefatigable Cruise Passenger". For 14 years, she lived on RMS Caronia, which cost her $396 in daily fare. Without accounting for inflation, Cunard Line received $4 million from her in tickets. by thenerdknuckle
It’s cheaper today, I’d consider that for a few years

Reply to TIL that New Orleans chicory coffee mix started during the American Civil War when Union naval blockades cut off the port of New Orleans bringing coffee shipments to a halt. New Orleanians looking for their coffee fix began mixing chicory with coffee to stretch out the supply. by GeoJono
If you really, really, want to poop mix your coffee with chicory.
