American Indians support horse slaughter

Katherine Minthorn Good Luck, representative of the National Tribal Horse Coalition on the United Organizations of the Horse's Founding Leadership Team, reports that the National Congress of American Indians has passed a resolution expressing the tribes' views in regards to federal interference with their ability to sustainably manage horses on tribal lands, and supporting the reopening of US processing facilities. Tribes in at least four states-Oregon, Montana, North and South Dakota-are working to establish humane processing facilities on tribal lands to provide an economic boost, jobs, and a much-needed valuable use for excess horses on tribal lands, and as a service to all horse owners. This resolution was passed at their Mid Year Conference in Niagara Falls, NY, June 14-17. DroversJournal

You can surely bet this is more false information from the cattle industry that was getting $3.00 per horse slaughtered at Texas plants that operated illegal for years. The truth is there losing money and want horse slaughter to recover there loses. Its not about unwanted horses its merely unsold horses in a bad economy. Its not indians that want horse slaughter. Its the evil whites that are so irresponsible they lie to justify there faulty errors. Call your elected officals tell them to pass our horse bills HR 503 and S727 to stop rewarding irresponsible people. Its time to cap there big mouths shut..

If you want to argue this, that's fine. But you should learn to write well first. I counted 10 grammatical errors, including misspelling and misuse of the word there and its as well as run-on sentences. I would venture to guess that you don't live in the west and thus have no idea what is really going on in regards to the horse population as whole in this country. But one can't argue with one that has no common sense, so I'm not going to try.
