    Feral horse hunt called off due to pressure.

    No more feral horse hunt. I can remember when school lunches had a small percentage of horse meat. Feral horses are a problem all over the west.
    Story:



    Tens of thousands of feral horses roam Navajo Nation lands — and the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife is seeking ways to reduce that population.

    Following the release of the hunt proclamation horse advocates, including members of the Facebook group Indigenous Horse Nation Protector Alliance, organized a rally for Friday morning in Window Rock, Arizona, to protest the hunt.

    Gloria Tom, the director of Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the public outcry led to the cancellation.

    I guess it's better to have an overpopulated landscape that can no longer provide nutrition resulting in starvation than to shoot a few

      Are any of the protestors going to put up the money to supply feed when the imminent overgrazing happens? Nope...but they'll scream of how much they want to protect the horses

        Soo dumb

        People would rather save an invasive animal at the expense of a native one. We should shoot feral horses out west just like we do pigs

          If it's got the word feral in front of it there's a good possibility that it needs shot. That's the way I see it.

            I know in years past, Colorado would trap them and get the prisoners to break them, then sell them. I'm sure as liberally jacked up as Colorado has gotten, that has changed.

                I'm not surprised by this. People get weird when it comes to animals they consider pets. Dogs, cats, horses, rabbits etc. Now to be fair, I'm the wrong guy to be saying anything because I don't let our kids name anything but their horse and the dog. Not even the barn cat gets a name. We eat coons, possums, coyotes and everything else in between.

                We thought my daughter's horse she'd just gotten for Christmas might having something wrong with him and the vet mentioned that it could have some long shot of a neurological problem (it ended up he didn't and he's just fine) but I looked the vet in the eye with my daughter standing there beside me and I said, "Well if he does, we are shooting him and eating him. For as much money as I paid for him, he isn't going to waste." I thought he was going to drop his clipboard. He looked at me like I was crazy and said, "You can't eat a HORSE!" I said, "yes sir we can." One of his female vet assistants looked like she might pass out and he looked like he might call the law, so I tried to play it off a little and said something like, "well I hope it doesn't come to that....." to ease the tension. But I'm telling you, those folks nearly swallowed their bubble gum because they could tell I was dead serious, which I was.

                An animal is an animal and meat is meat. Feral horses, over grazing and starving to death need to be controlled just like hogs, coyotes, deer or any other animal population. What's amazing is, if left to the animals rights folks, more animals would actually suffer and die slow painful deaths for no reason than by us hunters managing their herd sizes.

                You can't talk rationally to the lefties.

                              At first I thought no way would the Navajo Nation cave to some left leaning BS. But then I thought, I bet there's a casino on their land that give some sort of a stipend to all residents plus provide a lot of jobs to the nation.

                              They don't want the bad press associated with their name or money.
