Where's the fraud?

And it's not clear in animal species because we have zero data. We can see the physical anatomy, we can't see what in the brain constitutes the perception of gender. It's like we can't see what in the brain shows what somebody's sexual attraction is--but homosexuality has been observed in a wide range of animals.

Our genetics are such a Rube Goldberg system that there are no doubt myraid ways things can get out of sync.

Reply to comment by knoegel in New Mexico wants to stop the federal government from gunning down about 100 feral cows by helicopter by orel_

There's actually precedent. Mustangs are a feral invasive species that deplaces local native species but they're protect because they're pretty. Whichever federal agency does monitor the herd and will conduct culls if they're population is getting too large and causing them to get sick.

Fascinatingly horses primarily evolved in North America but moved east while humans moved west, although there's a tribe of Native Americans in Canada who report having a traditional horse species for hundred of years even predating Spanish landing in Mexico. Unfortunately genetic tests if the remaining member of the herd isn't possible to disprove due to cross breading. There's also no example of remaining wild horses in the world, just like there's no wild cows. Part of the issue is domesticated horses getting loose and interbreeding. Honestly it's surprising Wolves have remained, although as a predator I'm sure it's easier to remove wild dogs.
