Wild Horse Cull
Just read an article in the "letter to the editor" section of the"Red Deer Express" about the wild horse cull in the west country.Some clowns from Innisfail are trying to save them,they kindly gave a phone #for Diana McQueen from sustainable resourses for us to protest the cull.I have just got off the phone with her where I praised her for her decision to continue the cull and hope she continues it till the last one is gone from Alberta!By the way if anyone else wants to heap more praise on her the # is 1800-542-7307.She is probably gone now ,but she has a voice mailbox.Filler up.

Why do you want to get rid of all the wild horses? There are lots of them where I hunt. I always thought it was kinda strange that they were just hanging out where the deer and moose are supposed to be, and I almost hit one on the road the other day... I'm just curious why you're so pumped that someone is finally gonna get rid of them?

I'd rather see horses on the Eastern Slopes/foothills than cows.

The wolves have been there far longer than feral horses and are a natural part of the ecosystem. Now don't start jumping down my throat about how wolves kill all the moose, deer, sheep elk etc.. cause I really don't give a damn! Wolves and other predators will die off or move on as food sources dictate. To kill a natural predator is the quickest way to allow diseased animals to mix and infect others.
Just my opinion folks, and we are all entitled to that.

Mainly because they do not belong there.They are feral animals.This thread is not to debate weather or not they should be there,That has already been done to death.However when Sustainable resources does somthing right,we like to give them some praise for it.It kinda encourages them to keep up the good work,hence the phone # I posted.

Big difference between wild and feral.

I have no interest in shooting a zebra. None. Just sayin....not that it's relevant to this discussion.

now that the horse hugger is out of the 1+2=3, lets look at some facts.
the feral horses have taken over the winter grazing areas where elk once roamed. there are few areas where they have not grazed, be it the top of the mountain or down in the valley.
it's not unreasonable to conclude that the elk can't compete with the ferals and are pressured off the prime winter habitat which exposes them to predators and overgrazing.

I feel like Al Pacino in the last Godfather, I want to quit but they keep dragging me in.  No doubt about it, we need a management plan.
