Most Americans don't eat horse but I have heard it is good. Lots of cultures around the world eat it with relish. Some people eat dogs. I don't, but that is my decision. Our state also has too many sealions, and they also need to be culled. The natives used to eat them. After they were protected they have become way overpopulated.
Not long ago, these horse herds were managed. The BLM rounded them up and utilized them. Some were sold to people as pets and others were slaughter's and the meat was sold, and the herds still thrived.
Now our government wants to spend 3/4 of a billion dollars to round up an feed these animals in areas where the herds are too large. I don't think we need to do this, as the money should not be spent, and a new solution does not need to be utilized.
You are simply not getting it: we have forbidden the consumption of horse meat, and we have forbidden the slaughter of horses, therefore, we must warehouse them . . . but we can’t give them away to someone who wants them . . . therefore, again, the government must solve this intractable problem.
I agree. I’m not for getting rid of all the horses on public land but there’s way too many.
IMO, Congress should repeal the laws they’ve recently passed and allow horses to be slaughtered for human consumption and the meat sold in Europe. If people here want to eat it, all the better and it’ll be another market for it.
The BLM are corraling and feeding those horses with our tax dollars and it’s ridiculous, there’s too many horses.
