We already slaughter thousands of domesticated horses each year why do you have to go and take from the wild. Can you not let it be. 200 plus this year, is too many in my opinion. We have enough land to share with the wildlife. When will it end?

But come Stampede time (or when campaigning) the politicians will all prattle on endlessly about Alberta's cowboy heritage.

Hypocrites the entire lot of them.

They ought to be protected under the Heritage Species Act. Horses are not a threat to the environment- only human beings are. This is a heartbreaking money-grab for the cowboys in Alberta. How utterly backwards- how redneck. the kill appears not to be controlled- and having some of the mares, pregnant with foal, to abort because of the stress, and to save themselves. Also, a number of mares have been slaughtered while pregnant. Sick. Sick. Sad.

The process is extremely stressful and terrifying, as anyone who has ever been involved with shipping unbroke horses could testify to. If a cull is necessary it would be much kinder to shoot them where they are instead of putting them through the absolute hell of transporting them to slaughter. Wild animals that are trapped have to be humanely killed immediately, why is the same not afforded horses? Moreover in the horses that are left are a large percentage of young intact males who have been driven out of the established herd by the older stallions, so when the mares and young ones are removed, it leaves these horses doomed to a solitary existance which is the opposite of the natural inclinations of horses meant to live in a herd.

Not only do I find this proposed cull and slaughter abhorrent (wild horses are perfectly capable of managing their herd size; it is called survival of the fittest!), but I am also concerned about the potential ramifications of this event on Alberta's international reputation and, in particular, the tourism industry. If population control measures are needed, implement humane ones; do not needlessly send hundreds of horses to slaughter.
