We keep sending rice to the NORK military to feed the prison guards that oversee prison camps where several thousand children are butchered and eaten every year.
Horse meat has been part of human gastronomy going back to the original untamed horses in central Asia highlands.
IN the continental United States, no area of wilderness is more than 18 miles from a road. There is no longer a wilderness for the pretty horses to run wild, and the BLS has been fighting to maintain healthy mustang populations through culling programs for years, and the situation is untenable at current. Saving the mustangs by not culling destroyed the ENTIRE ecosystem, the horse herds ate every piece of vegetation and created desertification in under 20 years in some areas.
As mentioned in an above post in the NYC area there are so many deer due to idiotic anti-hunting regulations that over 30 species of native ground nesting birds no longer exist here, as well as many many other species of flora and fauna. And the prior NJ DEP head is the Obama EPA head, and Lisa P Jackson is an anti-hunting zealot...
The watermelon and emotive enviros can not properly form conservation policy, as they have proven over and over again in the prior four decades. Hopefully Congress will stop whoring themselves out to insane PR campaigns by enviro-idiots in the future.
Well, you make great points and know more about the ‘downside’ of our horse populations; than I do; for sure. Still wonder; if same rationale can be equally; and/or eventually to other animals ‘or’. . .Seems a slippery slope; if left in wrong hands. (And certainly no shortage, there.) Appreciate, nonetheless; hearing the other side, per MO behind this.
