these horses should be dropped off at Willie Nelson's or Bo Derek's home, since they pushed so hard to stop the use of horses for consumption.

Once again, the animal-rights loonies go on a crusade and once again, the animals they intended to "save" end up dying.
Why does anyone listen to these idiots in the first place?

I don't understand, nurse it back to health then ADOPT IT OUT TO SOME ONE WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF IT.

This is a huge problem now. Did you know that the BLM is the US A's largest breeder of horses? They are with all the mustangs. With the slaughter houses shut down and the government caving into all the liberal hype to stop them the us government will become even a larger breeder of horses with the mares that are being dumped in the desert. Open the slaughter houses up and the problem will be solved!! Get the government out of breeding horses and creating this problem. There was no problem untill they created it.

Save the horse and kill it, your tax dollars at work. More children are abandoned after or aborted before birth than there are abandoned horses every year, but the horse makes the news.

There were two things about this story that really stood out to me.
One, quotes Sheriff Robert Dekker as saying, "New laws that no longer allow horse meat to be included in dog food have dropped the market on older horses."
The second is as follows:
"The BLM said when the horse is nursed back to health, it will be handed over to Millard County. Deputies said the horse may have to be euthanized if no owner can be found."
So, dogs can no longer be fed using the carcasses of horses and, despite being nursed back to health, this horse may very well be killed.
Is there ANY sense to this??

Just send the horse to the YFZ ranch in Texas.
They can use it for weddings and such.
Then Willie Jessop can eat it.
