All I can say is I wouldn't want to be a horse in that desert. I would always want clean fresh cool water and green lush grass and clover with plenty of shade trees and maybe some rolling hills. You might not like the notion that the animals should be put down by man to rid them of that rough lifestyle though that might be the least expensive option for them to escape such a hard life. When your horse breaks a leg in the wilds, you humanely dispatch it with your gun.
They may need our help but nobody may offer it still. If Mother Nature kills off each and every one of them in the end, they will feed wild predators there. If you are personally rich, maybe YOU yourself can rescue them to a more heavenly livelihood if the Namibian government would even comply. Those poor horses seem to be good for the profitability of tourism though. Namibian authorities might not want somebody to adopt them all even if they had means to do so. They are a living historical conversation piece.
I think most would agree that man should never abandon domestic animals anywhere in the first place and let any invasive species go free. Anyway, I'm sheltered, pampered and provided for in America with steaks, potatoes, air conditioning, running water and yummy milkshakes and the Namibian feral horses aren't my personal problem.
