While it depresses me that we have come to this, culling the wild horse population IS responsible. It's sort of a last resort. There is not enough land, there are not enough responsible people to adopt and take care of them. They are being euth'd instead of being untamable and unwanted, therefore condemming their life since they are wild and unable to be caught to have basic vet care preformed on them such as hooves, teeth floated, emergency care. It also makes sure bad owners don't take them and breed them, creating more.
I also acknowledge that there is simply not enough free land left for them to roam, the best case senario would be to take some grazing land and allow it to be reclaimed back to its natural state. I already think we don't have enough land. Since this land is mostly privately owned by ranchers, they will never willingly give it up. There is, however, Eminent Domain, which would allow the government to take the land since it would then be determined public.
I don'rt know. I feel like in delicate issues such as this one there will always be peiple speaking up and arguing one way or another without really knowing anything about what they are arguing about. That's not to say that I know much more than I've already stated.
