According to the Government Accountability Office report, the Bureau of Land Management is struggling to finance the care of all the horses it has corralled across the American West, and has yet to devise a coherent plan for managing them. What might be the most coherent plan - selling the horses to the highest bidder even if they will end up in a slaughterhouse - is one the BLM resists. It does that, the report says, "due to concerns about public and congressional reaction to the large-scale slaughter of thousands of healthy horses." And sure enough, in June, when BLM Deputy Director Henri Bisson suggested euthanizing 6,000 horses, the proposal was greeted with outrage from Trigger-huggers/Jim Fisher, Lewiston Tribune.

Question: Do you support thinning wild horse herds by selling the horses to the highest bidder for dog and human food?
