Outraged by roundup

I am outraged by the announcement of the Colville reservation roundup of 1,000 wild horses! This is a nefarious decision and constitutes a depraved betrayal of these magnificent presences. The horses are natural healers and restorers of life, but it is people who thwart their role in this capacity. I consider this decision a real sin of the most serious order, and such a hypocritical and morally slovenly judgement. It neither coincides with conscience nor factual science. I pray this wrong decision will be canceled and provision made for these horses. People must learn how to share the land and freedom (meaning natural) with such benign and highly evolved beings as the horses!
