I saw some running alongside the road in Arizona once, they were beautiful. I don't see how they're hurting anything. The ones on the NC outer banks are being rounded up for sale, but like wild dogs and feral cats, they don't make good owned pets. But killing them is unacceptable to me.
I think what really disgusts me is that Bush loves to dig out his cowboy hats and lassos and brag about being cowboys and loving the West--I still cringe when I remember his campaign speech here--but when it comes down to it, it's the big business corporate west he supports.
Of course, why I should be surprised by hypocrisy and phony image in politics is beyond me.
