Need horse sense
Dear Editor,
I have just read that the US Government, friend to us all, is considering killing off a bunch of mustangs to help deal with budget restraints. Seems not to long ago, about a year, the government did away with the killers who bought horses for meat value.
I guess that I don't understand the difference in killing government horses but not those privately owned. The commercial slaughter of horses is as necessary to the health and well being of the overall horse population as sensible control of the wild horse herds.
Penning either up and waiting for them to die stinks. The commercial use of government lands is logical, but only to the point that the original use is not compromised.
What is needed is some, not politically correct, common sense, maybe some horse sense.
