Obama Slaughters Mustangs

The living embodiment of the American West may be the wild horse, a legacy from the time of the conquistador. These magnificent animals are the freest of the free and have roamed successfully for hundreds of years. They are also a creature that can be captured and domesticated if they are seen as a grazing rival to cattle or sheep. There is no justification to harvest them, cull them for meat to be sold as a "delicacy", primarily to France but also to Korea. The more cooperative of the two thousand targets- the mares and foals (read as baby horses), may be forced into trucks to be shipped to slaughterhouses and butchered. Those juvenile stallions who will not be dying with their families but have the good sense to do what they do best will run only to be shot dead from helicopters. This is not an effort at humane culling, this is plain old horse murder. Can you imagine a wonderful companion like Roy Roger's Trigger adorning some foreign gastronome's plate or Lee's heroic Traveller or Muhammad's Buraq served with garlic and parsley or Bucephalus, the steed on which Alexander the Great conquered the known world served with a side of kimchi? The prospect of the Feds permitting this horse massacre is revolting and repulsive. Can you imagine if George W. Bush was still President, the hue and cry from animal rights activists in particular and leftist in general about such a cruel and unnecessary act? Unfortunately, Obama being from the same political camp will spare him some appropriate calumny from this planned killing. If you oppose it call your Congressman, two Senators, and White House comment line as soon as possible and let them know how repulsive the culling of two thousands horses is- before it is too late.
