It’s hard to miss the horses on the way to the mountains.
They’ve established free-roaming populations throughout the foothills and grasslands of Alberta’s eastern slopes, with herds of wild horses almost guaranteed to be seen off Highway 1 west of Calgary year-round.
But the abundance of what the Alberta government calls “feral horses” has reached “unacceptable” levels, according to the province’s horse management strategy.
I mean you always have the option of letting the population get out of control and then have a bunch of animals starving.
Marlaina couldn’t tell the truth if her life depended on it.
If she can verify the number of wild horses with actual facts - and the numbers are enough to lead to starvation - then a cull should happen.
But she’s lying as usual.
