horrendous slaughter by state officials of some 71 wild burros. The state employees were granted the "privilege" of picking off the defenseless creatures by sniper fire.

I do hope that all these wonderful people that got to "pick" off these burros got a big charge out of it. Idiots. This is insanity. Leave the animals alone. There is room on this earth for ALL of us. Thanks Jodi

Only souless idiots would slaughter defenseless animals. If I had my way, they'd see blood on their hands no matter how much they washed (remind anyone of another slaughter of an innocent?). Maybe it would also be fun to throw babies off a cliff! And, SHAME on Texas for allowing it, and I live here, so I get to sling mud! Thanks,Jodi.

you know what 71 burros could have easily been adopted out, to rescues or even homes. To kill them is a bunch a bull $h!t...

Every second of every day something like this happens somewhere...I believe that what is required is more ppl that are willing to devote their LIVES to the cause of animal welfare! I would, if I could come home and KNOW that i had HEALTHCARE!

Why is it that human beings will always pick on defenceless animals to slaughter. What was the need for this? Were they eating into the cow's share of grazing? I cannot believe that a country like the US which is supposedly so educated and wise and is always going to the help of the defenceless, will not clean up their own back yards. Wake up US! you'll soon be vying with China for Horrors!!!!
