Wild Horses May Be Sold to Slaughter

My all means it is sad. Wild horses and burrors are an American Heritage. I do understand the need for population control. There have been several relocation efforts recently - the Channel Islands sheep and the effort to repopulate the fox on Catalina. Man introduces non-native specis to an area that begins to take over. This happens even more often with plants than animals. But, when something is a "symbol" of an area, era, or National ideal, there has to be a careful way of accomplishing the needed task. Are we going to chop down all eucalyptus trees because they are non-native?

I don't know. I'm rambling while eating soup. Yum. Soup is good food.
