Officials pointed out that harassment is currently not defined under the statute, making it difficult for authorities to enforce.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even if we found out who this man was, law enforcement tells us that they actually can&#8217;t enforce it because the word &#8220;harassment&#8221; is not a clear definition,&#8221; said Netherlands. &#8220;What it would take is a special rule by the AZDA that would have to go through the rules committee.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe that harassment should include the purposeful disturbing of wild horses in their natural behavior, including pursuing or chasing wild horses by any means, including but not limited: by vehicle, on horseback, on foot, with dogs, bikes, drones or kayak,&#8221; according to the group&#8217;s post.<\/p>\n<p>The post, which posed the question if viewers found the man&#8217;s actions to be considered harassment, had thousands of reactions, comments, and shares by Sunday evening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are asking people to please respect the Salt River wild horses in their natural habitat, by keeping a minimal distance of 50 feet from them at all times and to never pursue or chase a wild horse for any reason,&#8221; said Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[button label=&#8221;VIDEO&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.azfamily.com\/news\/activists-call-for-more-enforcement-after-video-shows-man-kayaking-at-salt-river-horses\/article_fd16e224-9e0f-11ea-9b6b-0714ecdab2c7.html?fbclid\u2039\u00b4\u203aIwAR0n26WJ9Lyg5ZXRxejjKkzKH3zRYBOTC4qso8WkU1Am0VZc2TQwtvFRRHE&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; color=&#8221;&#8221; __fw_editor_shortcodes_id=&#8221;d605642fca7b1f87448bf37daad1b19f&#8221; _fw_coder=&#8221;aggressive&#8221;][\/button]<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] TONTO NATIONAL FOREST, AZ (3TV\/CBS 5) &#8212; Advocates are calling for more enforcement and clarification under the Arizona statute protecting horses after a man was recorded on video kayaking directly at Salt River horses over the Memorial Day weekend.
