My family bought a sheep on mother's day to eat it. We all have our reasons for owning animals.

Lets get to the truth in this matter.
It costs a huge bunch more to keep these worthless nags forever!!!!!
The only mustangs they are talking about sending to the sale are ones that have been around for a few years and that nobody wants.
There are stacks of the best hay you can by that are a hundred yards wide and a quarter mile long, and 50' high sitting by BLM's wild horse pins. this is better hay than I can afford to feed my own livestock. That is millions of dollars in hay to feed them every year. They have better and more regular vet treatment than my horses do. When it comes time to trim their feet they have to be sedated and turned upside down so the farrier can trim them without getting kicked to death.
All of this adds up to one he11 of a lot of money just to keep them, and this money will be spent year after year on these horses.
So the lie is that we are spending money to send these horses to slaughter.
The truth is that it costs us many millions of dollars every year to keep them. If we keep these horses for another year, it's just more money to continue to feed and care for them.
If you want to save these horses then be my guest, but get out your checkbook and do it on your dime.
I have horses and mules, and I do not ask anyone else to feed or care for my animals and I'm tired of paying the bills on worthless horses that nobody wants just because some do gooder thinks we should.
They are not natural wildlife.
They are not indigenous animals.
They do great harm to the land they occupy.
