However, note this: “In accordance with the agreement, the Foundation created the Extreme Mustang Makeover, a wild-horse training event that gives horsemen and women 100 days to gentle and train an assigned, untouched Mustang in preparation for an all-around equine competition. At the conclusion of the event, the competing, gentled Mustangs are offered to the public for adoption through competitive bid.”
I think they should be given away free gratis, just come pick them up. Yes some control against horse meat production would be needed.
Have you ever tried to load a wild Mustang into a horse trailer?
40,000-50,00 waiting to be adopted. About 2,500 a year are. The math says “Shoot!”
There is a control but just for one or 2 years.
Why? Horse is delicious, as long as it hasnt been contaminated by things like veterinary antibiotics then theres no reason not to eat them. I would gladly purchase some.
The 2008 economic crash was very bad for “wild” horses. Adoptions dropped and thousands of horses that the owners couldn’t afford anymore were turned loose on the open range. I often see horses loose that still have halters on. One area I go there is a stallion that is clearly a well bred thorough bred.
