Remember the 60s movie "The Misfits?" Clark Gable rounded up wild Mustangs to ship them to slaughterhouses for dog food. Who was the lady who spearheaded the movement to get this practice outlawed? thanx

Clark to me… Dick I’m presently engaged in writing a book about the Marine enlisted who became officers. I have plenty of background about those I’ve included BUT I believe that if I can communicate with some that were, it would be very helpful. Personal info that can’t come from regular sources. Would you be willing to inculde in your postings that fact and give them my email address? I certainly would appreciate it....

Now 45 years old and revamped for 2010 with new styling and more powerful V-8, the "pony car" that debuted in 1964 is strikingly muscular, more energetic than before and thoroughly cool for a modern buyer. You dont even have to pretend to be Steve McQueen, the lead actor in the 1968 film "Bullitt" who famously drove a Mustang in one of Hollywoods best chase scenes, to enjoy the new Mustangs unique persona.

Wild horses are icons of the West, but growing herds have become a costly problem. Tribes say the horses damage their land and need to be managed — maybe by bringing back slaughterhouses.WARM SPRINGS INDIAN RESERVATION —Here on this reservation in north-central Oregon, horses are woven deeply into daily life. They are traditionally used by tribal members in their work and their culture, whether it be for rodeos or horse parades. Gathering, breaking and selling wild horses has long been part of the tribe's economy. Horses that don't make the grade are sold for slaughter. But the nation's final three...

Massive mega-gallery below along with the location and what you can do to save them.

FORT WORTH — One of Fort Worth’s hottest tickets was to Saturday’s finals of the Extreme Mustang Makeover at the Will Rogers Memorial Center. Then and in the previous three days, about 300 wild horses recently gathered from the open range (and their trainers) competed for $70,000 in prizes. Audiences were charmed.But this week, darker undercurrents have shrouded the wild horse celebration. While about 33,000 mustangs still roam free on public lands in Western states, an equal number have been gathered up to prevent overgrazing and are currently held in corrals and pastures run by the federal government. This June,...

When Charles E. McGee slid his P-51 fighter, "Kitten," onto the tail of the fleeing German FW-190 in the skies over Austria in 1944, he fired his six big machine guns and struck a blow for civil rights back home. Walter L. McCreary did the same a few months later, when his P-51 was hit by flak on a strafing run over Hungary and the cockpit floor began to slosh with what he thought was leaking gasoline. And so did Woodrow W. Crockett's ground crews a few months after that, when they stopped a supply train and commandeered special gas...

SUNDRE, Alta. -The killing grounds extend for 1 kilometres along the top of Parker Ridge, a rugged landscape 40 kilometres west of Sundre where grizzlies, wolf and cougars prowl. Sixteen wild horses have died here since 2004, but not in the jaws of predators. The horses have been shot by a human enemy, their carcasses left to rot and be scavenged. For one horse, the bullet entered its withers, just behind the neck, causing instant paralysis and an agonizing death. Its slowly escaping body heat melted the snow around it, leaving a perfect impression of the horse in the frozen...

For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use. RENO, Nev. - For the first time in more than a generation, the mustang - the very symbol of the American West - can be slaughtered for horsemeat. In December, Congress repealed the 34-year-old ban on the slaughter of the wild horses that run free across the West. The move has brought a powerful backlash from activists, who want to reinstate full protection for the mustangs. "It is really a slap in the face to the American people," said Betty Kelly, co-founder of the horse protection group Wild Horse Spirit in...
