Montana just got a law allowing a horse slaughter facility and indemnifying it from harassing lawsuits from animal lovers.

Horse is higher in protein and lower in cholesterol than beef. Tastes like elk.

This is another one of those problems that would be trivial to fix, if we simply didn't allow idiots to make policy.

"Wild" horses are also a big problem in Nevada. Were it not for stupid government policy, the state could simply issue hunting licenses for horses, just as they do for other game animals. This would turn "wild" horse control from a cost center to a profit center.

The reason that I put quotes around "wild", is that there are no wild horses in the Americas, there are merely feral horses. These horses were introduced and came from domesticated breeds. They cause big problems for native species.
