Once you get to this quote, you realize the author's agenda in this article:
"Animal lovers with big hearts and no idea what's required to take care of a horse have shut down slaughterhouses that were needed," says C.J. Hadley, publisher of a cowboy magazine called Range, based in Carson City, Nev. Calling horse lovers who oppose slaughterhouses "innocent," Ms. Hadley says, "Ranchers love their horses enough to put them down when the time comes."
Whaaaaaat?? ... defending ranchers and cattlemen, while taking pot shots at individual horse owners (that's you and me) which the author states are to blame for the over-population in the US.
