    I’m split on protecting the horses. They aren’t native to the land and have no business being there. I’d rather see bison herds take their place.

    As the same time, it’s just a bunch of horses, not really bothering anything, doing their horse thing. Let them be.

    Well if we’re going to exploit animals’ bodies by the billions for the pleasure of humans, we might as well throw horses in the mix too, right? While we’re at it, why not cats and dogs?

      Puppy mills exist. Oddly haven’t heard of cat mills but could be a thing I guess.

      In order to provide fish for people to eat, there’s a thing called bycatch, which is catching things you don’t intend to catch. If there’s a cute underwater animal you like, chances are we murder many of them as bycatch.

      What else is there, let’s see. Male egg laying chickens are born and then immediately blended alive, that’s so we can have eggs on our shelves at the price they are. Dairy cows aren’t immediately killed but have horrible short lives and are then killed for lack of milk production. That meat is poor quality so we feed it to our pets.

      This doesn’t sound like a new thing to me, just more of the same cruelty for profits sake.

    The BLM has been selling these for decades. You can get one and they paid you (1k) if you kept it for a year. Then you could drop it at a sale and make more money off it. This isn’t just a trump thing. It’s been going on for a long while now.

    As a horse girl I’m going to mourn these animals. He’s actively attacking us from within
