Dead Horse State Park is a state park located in Utah, United States. The park is named after a plateau called Dead Horse Point which offers a dramatic overlook of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park 1. The park was publicly announced as a state park in 1959 and has since grown in popularity due to its Dead Horse Point vista 2.

According to legend, the park got its name in the late 1800s when cowboys used the plateau as a natural corral for wild mustangs. The plateau made for a natural corral, and a narrow 30-yard fenced stretch of land made the only escape. Cowboys corralled the wild mustangs through the narrow passage.

Then they would break them for their personal use, or sell them at market. After a roundup, a group of horses remained in the corral. Over the following days, they perished of thirst, with the Colorado River a 2,000 foot drop below them. The name “Dead Horse” was given to the area as a reminder of the tragedy that occurred there.

@Madken65 This is happening to the people of the world today, in massive numbers. Isolating the target population is efficiently done today with identity characterizations, throwing up barriers to survival that trap thousands of species in a hobson's choice.
