All the Missing Horses: U.S. Gov't Selling Wild Horses to Western Dealer Linked to Slaughter

[alp227]

(Transcript) In a new investigation, ProPublica reporter Dave Philipps tracks what happens to many of the wild horses rounded up in the western United States by the Bureau of Land Management. A little known livestock hauler named Tom Davis is buying almost all of the horses the Bureau removes from the wild, in a program meant to maintain a sustainable balance among the herds. Like all buyers in the program, Davis signs a contract promising the animals will not be slaughtered and insists he finds them good homes. But Davis is a longtime advocate of horse slaughter and he refuses to disclose where the horses end up. Animal welfare advocates fear the horses he buys are being sent to the killing floor.
