I just read this in the magazine today. An excellent article that really tells it like it is, no flourishes, no boot poishing. Wish other magazines, and the media would do as good a job of presenting the story.

Hmmm.....Thanks for the honest article. I personally can't even fathom how a horse relates to food. Back when they were our transportation and pulled the plows. I'm pretty sure they never thought of them as food either.

Could someone please tell me how an idiot like Senator Conrad Burns actually became Senator? There seems to be many words to describe him, but sneaky seems to be one of them. How do the idiots manage to get so much power?

Can someone get a petition going so we can put a stop to it? These animals belong here, to be free taken care of not to be killed or abused. These mighty animals helped us before we were here, to get to and from. Why no respect for there history? And there Native American's who used them to surive. But no thanks or good for yellow hair Custer. This is what theses horses mean to me and my heart love and compassion.

So...now how do we stop THIS maggot? Is there a petition circulating to send to our reps in Washington? Not only am I a noobie but I am unfamiliar with new petition logistics. Can someone get the ball rolling?
