Provision would allow slaughter of wild horses-Update

[NVMojo]

I ran another version of this last week here but this one goes into a bit more detail for those interested in the subject. One must remember that the rednecks in red state, Nevada, worked very closely with Rove on Bush's statewide re-election campaign and even brought DOI Chief Gail Norton to the center of the ranchers/gold mining haven in northeast Nevada to stump for Bush. And this was one of the topics she covered for them in her speech. Promises made, promises kept.

WASHINGTON - In a reversal of three decades of government policy that protected all wild horses, a provision recently approved by Congress would allow some of them to be sold to slaughterhouses.

The provision, attached to an omnibus spending bill by Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., chairman of the appropriations subcommittee with responsibility for the Interior Department, requires the sale of wild horses that have been rounded up and are more than 10 years old or have been unsuccessfully offered for adoption three times. The bill is awaiting final action.

The new language appears to override an existing requirement that those buying horses for adoption care for them for a year before assuming ownership, a hedge against horses being sold for slaughter.
Now, the prospective law says, unwanted or old horses "shall be made available for sale without limitation."

of these sick fuckers. Killing those beautiful animals is an evil act, beyond the power of description, in what few words I can muster after reading this.
