Subject: RE: BS: History of horses in US
This is not "business as usual" and it is not about something that happened in the past.

The Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has ordered the roundup of 10,000 mustangs out of a total population of 36,000. That seems to me to represent about 27% of the total.

It is the largest such roundup in history. Unpresidented.

I believe the operation starts today.

Country singer Lacy J. Dalton has been the spokesperson for our wild horses for years. She says "let 'em run".

Willie Nelson has run some ads against the roundup.

In fact, I don't know of anyone who supports Ken Salazar's plan. This, I think, is called tyranny.
