Abstract:
To many people endangered species means wild animals; however, the term can also apply to livestock--cattle, horses, chickens, pigs and others. In North Carolina and other states there are individual breeders and owners who work to keep the rare livestock breeds alive. They are assisted by two organizations--The Livestock Conservancy (Pittsboro) and the Equis Survival Trust. Buranan describes four horses in the endangered area--the Fell Pony, Shire, Caspian, and Morgan.
