Animal advocates are voicing concern over wild horse treatment after the New York Times reported that several hundred were being sold to slaughter since Donald Trump took office.
What is the deal with this article? There are estimated to be tens of thousands, so it seems like they’re misleading you with incomplete information because “Trump bad.” But then if you actually read the article it says that it’s thousands of horses, not hundreds, so maybe he is actually bad. Or is he? It says the average since 1991 is around ten thousand, which would mean “Trump good” because the recent years are well bellow the only historical reference they provide. Or are they talking about the ones that are being sold as livestock, which were only tens of horses, not hundreds like the title claims? What are we supposed to get from reading this? Is this normal or not?
If killing horses isn’t your thing, what about the fact that they spend $3000 capturing the horses and sell them for $25?
The number isn’t the point of the article tho. Neither is the money loss.
It’s the fact that killing wild horses is illegal. They tried to buy a gas chamber and realized they couldn’t so they started selling them to a middleman first who man who sends them off to slaughter.
This way they can kill horses but claim they didn’t.
