Not only that but it has caused alot of suffering, when the hay prices were so high a while back people dumped their stock on the reservation. Stock that is not use to being on range stand at the gate waiting to be fed, no one comes to feed them.

Definitely has ruined the market, some people couldn't afford to keep their horses and nobody wanted to buy them, starving horses were getting turned loose over here with noone to feed them.

Americans have a hang up about horses, in many countries they eat them. I have an Aussie friend who prefers horse meat over most other meats.

I see the WA demos voted yea...

Ya, I  hear ya Fred, the entire administration is slanted to the left so far it's going to take YEARS to get back to center after this. I hope there are still hunting seasons available for the peóns once the smoke screen has lifted.

Might be critter seasons....congress critters.
