Tom Davis "signs contracts promising that animals bought from the program will not be slaughtered and insists he finds them good homes," Philipps writes, but he "has ducked Colorado law to move animals across state lines and will not say where they end up. He continues to buy wild horses for slaughter from Indian reservations, which are not protected by the same laws. And since 2010, he has been seeking investors for a slaughterhouse of his own."
"Hell, some of the finest meat you will ever eat is a fat yearling colt," Davis told Philipps. "What is wrong with taking all those BLM horses they got all fat and shiny and setting up a kill plant?"
BLM officials say they carefully screen buyers and have no indication that Davis is taking the horses to slaughter in Mexico, Canada or elsewhere. "Some BLM employees say privately that wild horse program officials may not want to look too closely at Davis," Philipps writes. "The agency has more wild horses than it knows what to do with, they say, and Davis has become a relief valve for a federal program plagued by conflict and cost over-runs." (Read more)
Put them all back where they came from you idiots! More American bureaucratic garbage, lies, and mismanagement. Leave nature to take care of it's own.
ReplyDeleteFor these horses to be slaughtered for the benefit of spoiled gourmet eating French and the likes is insanity at it's worst!
What the heck is going on in this country, have we lost all heart, sense of history and pride involved?
The BLM should be strung up for mismanagement, animal cruelty, and extraction of the American spirit and history.
