These horses wont "live free" in the wilderness, they will slowly starve to death and feed the coyotes, if they dont come crashing through someones windsheild some dark night.there needs to be a sustainable outlet for the no longer useful ones.and this brings up the "wild" horse issue. awhile back there was a thread about good places to visit in Oklahoma. someone mentioned the "wild" horses up in Osage county. there are no true "wild" horses in North America. they are feral horses - they are not indigenous.and you and i pay in the neighborhood of $500 per head/per year in tax dollars to ranchers who quit raising cattle to be paid by the government to take care of a non-indigenous, invasive species.its hard to blame the ranchers, its a guaranteed government check, no risk involved. and in truth i would hate to think there werent any mustangs left, but to spend millions in tax dollars to feed thousands and thousands of them until they die, then dipose of them when there is an alternative that is actually profitable is utterly moronic.so in summation, yes, i beleive horse slaughter should be allowedsorry, rant over</blockquote>
