Under Trump, Protected Wild Horses Are Going to Slaughter A legal loophole allows the government to sell mustangs on the cheap, stripping them of protections and clearing their path to destruction.
The only logical explanation is that they're technically an invasive species and destroy the natural habitat. I just don't think this administration did it to protect the environment, so much as enrich themselves and their investors.
Well if we’re going to exploit animals’ bodies by the billions for the pleasure of humans, we might as well throw horses in the mix too, right? While we’re at it, why not cats and dogs?
Puppy mills exist. Oddly haven't heard of cat mills but could be a thing I guess.
In order to provide fish for people to eat, there's a thing called bycatch, which is catching things you don't intend to catch. If there's a cute underwater animal you like, chances are we murder many of them as bycatch.
What else is there, let's see. Male egg laying chickens are born and then immediately blended alive, that's so we can have eggs on our shelves at the price they are. Dairy cows aren't immediately killed but have horrible short lives and are then killed for lack of milk production. That meat is poor quality so we feed it to our pets.
This doesn't sound like a new thing to me, just more of the same cruelty for profits sake.
The BLM has been selling these for decades. You can get one and they paid you (1k) if you kept it for a year. Then you could drop it at a sale and make more money off it. This isn't just a trump thing. It's been going on for a long while now.

What the literal actual fuck is going on America.
It's the Biff Tannen timeline.
Quite literally
This is basically the “tearing copper out of the walls before you break the lease” stage
Fire sale. Come buy a slice of America®™©
Collapsing empire with too much centralized power.

Unchecked greed as our shining beacon of guiding light. Most Americans are awful people who think they are good people.
Republicans are so fucking evil.
I'd have expected a vote on this plan to result in more neighs than yeas.

The intersectionality between capitalism and the exploitation of all living creatures!
Make Americans Glue Again? 😬
Oh oh I’ve seen this one before. Coming to supermarket shelves soon but still paying beef prices.
Ikea meatballs were a long-game ploy to get us hooked and Americans now ache with an insatiable hunger for horse-flesh.
They’re looking forward to fisting horses to forcibly bring more into a world of human-orchestrated suffering.
As documented in "J'Equus...!", a soon-to-be-written open letter examining these alleged abuses.
Oh, I can see the seething internet outrage coming!
I'm split on protecting the horses. They aren't native to the land and have no business being there. I'd rather see bison herds take their place.
As the same time, it's just a bunch of horses, not really bothering anything, doing their horse thing. Let them be.
They are bothering the health and well being of the landscape. They will fuck up springs and watering areas, ruining them for native species
If that's the case, then I'm not against getting rid of them.
Yeah that's our job. These horses are just taking our jobs
This is heartbreaking. What the hell.
Turdpublicans are stripping the house bare and are setting it ablaze for the insurance money. 😡
Next it'll be the cats and the dogs.
Yum! Sign me up.
But, but… they’re the “good ones.” /s

As a horse girl I'm going to mourn these animals. He's actively attacking us from within
