You need to come out to Nevada and see for yourself the wild horses. The idea is great but because of the size of the herds it is not uncommon to see some that are damn close to starving. If the folks who support this idea would see for themselves the full picture they would agree the answer is to slaughter half of the herds.
There’s too many horses for land space available. In dry years these horses aren’t living the good life. BLM does a real crappy job at taking care of them. There’s not enough people willing to buy a wild mustang and feed it. People can’t sell a horse in my area because there’s no buyers. The horse ends up being turned loose to feed on its own.
The only thing wrong with horse meat is PETA types thinking they are pets!
