The clouds detail became more into view as the herd closed in on my location.I observed strong detailed bodies that seemed to be set into motion by an unknown mystic wind.The herd of mustang were running free and beautiful.it was a hypnotic piece of poetry in motion with defined sculpted bodies full of powerful muscle and colors that were natures true colors.The herd ran along the road as if racing my mechanized vehicle and mocking the very thought of such a complex contraption compared to their fluid motion so sleek and simple
The lead horse was a black as coal.The herd stopped and circled him as his harem would do in admiration.He stood there for minutes I sat frozen on this summer day.There I was looking at the decedents of Spanish Conquistadors steeds .The great plains tribes that were so much the free people of this place long ago.The proud stallion stood looking at me for the longest time and I sat looking with admiration at the vision of true freedom.The old world and the old west that was there sitting proudly in front of me.A part of Americana that is about to be brutally slaughtered and fed to you in meat shops and stores all over the world.
Yes sir come right on down to bub bas belly bustin horse burgers.where you will find the rare and quickly disappearing American horse burger sold to undeserving folks all over the world.
no need to think about the lovely creature that helped to make this Nation possible.Dont even think about the contributions of the war effort when called to serve the call of our country.That was yesterday and today they will become a butchered,bloody burger for your dining pleasure.
We round them up,herd them into slaughterhouses where they are humanely spiked or sledgehamered in the head,skinned and gutted while they still are dying. But don't worry about that poor suffering creature because its a nuisance to a few ranchers and farmers that forgot the horse was there long before them.The horses ancestor was here for settlers to use as beasts of burden.Pony express riders,Stage coach riders and Ranchers to herd the other animals,including more horses.Natives and imigrants hunted the mighty Buffalo Herds into near extinction with the horse and steam engine.Its a shame we learned nothing from that part of history either....once gone and it is gone forever.Teddy Roosevelt where are when we need you...You would save the horse herds as you did Tatonka herds
The noble animal pulled cannon and caisson into battle into the first world war.Calvary it was called
in those days.These days the noble horse has been reduced to a recreation and a wagering item.
Now the horse which was eaten in times of extreme destitution is to become a delicacy on the table for Europeans,Canadians and people that have no idea of the noble American horses value to history and this country...Let us never surrender our national treasures to those who are ignorant[as in the term uninformed] of its value to us..The native Americans still value their horses as an asset.
People in countries that live in poverty become aware of the horses value when fuel,and transportation is scarce.When the economy has crashed and the gasoline stops..horses and mules still work.
With the extensive availability of food resources available,i must ask the unfathomable Question asked by many 5year olds to an adults vague half truth...WHY?Why is it needed?There is no reason these animals can't be managed as other wildlife things are being.Transport the most healthy of the herds and place them on federal lands to live free.Free as they once did.
There is millions of acres of federal lands available that is doing nothing.The herds would live in areas away from populations and take care of themselves.once a year they could be check for medical problems and treated for health problems.
Africa has vast federal parks for the wild life to live as they always have.America can't do what the 3rd world countries have done to preserve their history and habitants? So we kill and sell our horses that are a part of our heritage to other countries for hamburger...Did you read that European Taco Bell already used Horse meat?Google it.It is a truth reported by news groups.I refuse to eat a horse or the mules and burros that are mixed into burgers of the future.I see lawsuits for any company that is stating one ingredient and substituting another.I just could not eat a horse if I knew the difference.
they are just to majestic and intelligent.There species have earned the status of national assets.without them we would still be dragging mancarts as the Mormons did on the trail west.The great Horse tribes would never have existed.The spanish exploreres would never reached Colorado.
About eating horses and my passion for such animals even though I can't be a vegan...
I once tried the vegan way and within 6months found myself hospitalized for a protein deficiency.
I am just one of those omnivores that nature made sure that I would be using my canines But I draw the lines at horses.Far to useful in this world even today.
