I don’t know if this is the same thing, but in the Yakima tribe they “hunt” the wild horses but that doesn’t mean kill them. It’s catching the horses and then they either sell the horses for slaughter to Canada as it’s illegal in America and at least the Yakima tribe doesn’t have a horse slaughterhouse, or most of the horses are sold to rodeos as wild horses to wrangling.
I have no idea if it’s the same or different around you
@MARIS61 but I suspect that it could be. “Hunt” may just be capturing. The Yakima do refer to it as hunting.
