And for the ones left there is glue and dogfood.
Funny how the adage that if the GVT were to control the Sahara desert there would soon be a shortage of sand does not apply. Must be a corollary the GVT controls a nuisance it will soon be plentiful.
There has been a successful adoption program for years. Problem is there are still too many.
I’m not going to bother to read it. I’m sure the bottom line is Trump is cruel.
We have caligula’s horse , oprah , as the new leader of the demnocrap party . This cow faced moron is their LEADER !! HEIL!!
State’s won’t even control deer. Imagine the liberal tears should they start controlling horses.
“Seems like there should be an adoption program basically giving the horses away as long as you come pick them up.”
There is and always has been. Nobody wants them anymore.
To many horses, the results of shutting down the horse meat industry.
I do not buy that there are too many. Challenge is cattle ranchers want them gone so they can graze cattle.

It is a sad fact that these horses multiply too rapidly for the range they occupy. There are few or no natural predators.
There has been a successful wild horse adoption program for a long time and it can’t absorb all the excess animals.
People get horses and don’t know what to do with them except feed them and then they find out feeding them is expensive and work and not all that needs to be done.
From my vantage point I can see at least a dozen horses that do nothing but roam empty pastures. They are never ridden, never exercised, hooves seldom if ever trimmed. Why people keep them I have no idea.
As for me. I rode horses almost every day when I was a kid having worked for a fellow who broke them and then I took the green broke horse and rode it until it was a good animal for work or pleasure. Now I won’t have a horse on the place. They eat three times as much grass as a cow, graze the grass down to the roots and compact the soil worse than a cow. On top of that they are a liability and worse, they deserve use and care and I don’t have the inclination for either.
For people that use and love horses I welcome them to have them so long as they are well taken care of. They are beautiful animals and a good working cutting horse in action is a beauty to behold.
Wild horses are an invasive species. They drive off native species such as deer, antelope and wild sheep.
I only wish ABC had as much sympathy for pre-born people.
send the horses to Venezuela
for adoption
These are not wild horses, they are feral horses and should be slaughtered humanely. They don’t belong in the wild any more than feral dogs do.
There never was a wild horse problem when the Comanches roamed the plains.
There is, I once adopted 2 of them. They’re not all that beautiful and almost impossible to break.
They ruin the range, they need to be thinned way down.
Can we slaughter horses in the US again?

They are doing that.
There are more horses then there are people who want to have them.
Maybe as the economy improves that will change but people are still not paying top dollar for even for pure bred trained horses.
The wild horses are quite inbred and mostly useless, like feral hogs. They have done tremendous damage to sparse rangeland. They need to be transformed into petfood.
