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?

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.

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

Then start culling the idiots in the country, would serve more of a purpose.

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.

Not sure,You could phone the # I posted it is sustainable resoursces in Drayton Valley.They could probably tell you,seems they have something to do with it.Have to wait till office hours though.I dont think they kill them,rather they round them up and take and have someone else do it.ie slaughter house.

I respect and second your opinion. Mother nature has a way to balance her self out, but "we" get in her way.

A tv show on discovery like the wild boar down in the states would be cool. Start filming guys going tony montana on them horsies and all the way to the bolony factory.
Sorry if I have offended anybody out there with my comment.

Unfortuneatly there are many hunters who feel that the wolf is nothing more than something competing for the moose, deer , and sheep and that if the wolf was exeterminated that they would have no prblem with killing a moose, deer, or sheep .....

Strange thought process. It's in our way, lets get rid of it mentality.
It's like saying i'm going to kill all the pike, perch and minnows in a certain lake because i only want catch walleye. Yes we should manage wildlife, but replace all natural preditors with humans?.....

Holy Christ they are horses, not wild bulldozers destroying mountains.
Some people need to worry about the 4' in front of their noses and quit worrying about such stupid things.
If you have to kill something kill gophers.
