21. They should shoot them, butcher them, and give the meat to
Edited on Tue Dec-29-09 03:25 PM by MineralMan
those who can't afford to buy meat. Horsemeat is quite good. I've never quite understood the hesitance in this country to eat wholesome horsemeat. We eat venison. We eat elk. We eat moose. We eat bison. We eat cattle.

Unless there are people clamoring to adopt all these wild horses and pay for their food, converting them to edible protein seems like an effective way to control the sizes of herds of feral horses.

Everyone realizes that these aren't "wild" horses, right? They're an exotic species.

Want to save the "wild" horses? Adopt one.
