I’m sure BLM was more than happy to get rid of the problem. Meat is meat.
BTW, I have eaten horse. Not to my taste, but not too bad. To each their own.
Good to read a voice of reason here, or anywhere.
I truly don’t get the hostility here. Wild horses are a recent introduction - via white privilege - from Spanish explorers. Horses and burros are an invasive, destructive species much like european boars and the hordes of hybridized hogs that are spreading throughout the nation.
With a concerted effort, horse hunters could be sent into areas infested by the pests and they could be hunted to extinction in short order. Same with burros.
Pigs are going to take a little longer, I’m sure.
Illegal aliens are on the list somewhere too...
