Wild Horses Survived World War I, But They May Not Get Past BushcoDeanne Stillman
While Laura Bush was getting laughs awhile ago for making a joke about her hubby jerking off horses instead of milking cows, something more sinister was happening. George Bush was actually destroying horses - and has been, all summer, even as he vacations cowboy-style at his spread in Crawford, Texas.
I refer specifically to wild horses, which the Interior Department under Bush appointee Gale Norton has been rounding up by the thousands in order to funnel into its malfunctioning adopt-a-horse program, which now serves as an official way-station to the slaughterhouse. A few days ago, the situation became even more dire, with a press release from Gale Norton obliquely announcing the impending doom behind the headline, "Wild Horses and Burros Need Your Help."
This is a terrible and shameful situation which the agency itself has caused. What's worse is Gale Norton doesn't really want your help because the press release appears to not have been widely disseminated, or perhaps not picked up by the MSM, which would not be a surprise, and likewise not surprisingly, it is not on the agency's website. But it has been picked up by various equine organizations, which is how I got the news
