Wild Horse Cull in Alberta

[Catherine]

I understand that the situation has really heated up. There are strong feelings on every side of the issue. Ultimately it is a matter of population control and too many horses and the easy way is to dispose of some(does it sound like Sochi).
Not every body likes that solution. Of those who trap the horses some are responsible and do try to find good outcomes. Still too many wild horses are just being slaughtered as food. They use the word processed, but they really mean killed.

There are some dedicated people trying to save the horses.

The wild horses are descendants of domestic horses used in the logging and mining operations from more than a hundred years ago.
I think that means we have a responsibility towards them.

Fortunately some people are acting on that responsibility.
