And your evidence that these animals were killed for pleasure rather than because they needed to be culled is what exactly?

It makes you feel good?

A journalist who wrote the story said so with no evidence?

You never lived on a farm so there can't be a reason?

Because horses are pretty?

Investigation would be hard?

What reason?

I am going to point out to you that when the government banned the use of horse meat for food and most uses for dead horses were outlawed that a whole lot of people who grew up around farm animals pointed out that this and a lot of other consequences would predictably follow.

Have an “I told you so.”

I don't sympathize with your little feelings, and your rant doesn't make you a good person.

One more thing.

If you were one of the people who were clamoring for the laws I mentioned then neither your indignation nor your sympathy with the horses nor all the people who were with you in the herd that stampeded off the cliff leading to the consequences of horses dumped in some out of the way spot when culled remove your partial guilt for getting America to this point by demanding irresponsible changes in the law.

You can't legislate agriculture strictly on sheltered feelings.

I think you’ve mistaken my position. I’m not a bleeding heart and humane slaughter is appropriate for horses, as it is for all animals. The Feds and animal rights activists help create this problem.

This was not in anyway shape or form humane culling.
