In answer to the Nov. 28 Open Forum letter, Take own advice: Theresa, it looks to me that you think that because someone owns a horse, they should be responsible for feeding and caring for him until death no matter what.
Anyone who got a divorce knows that circumstances change. Finances change and even if someone wanted, they couldn’t keep these animals. The slaughter should be stopped, according to Theresa.
Maybe there are two sides to this story.
We have homeless people and soup kitchens that use donations to feed them.

The government should be getting donations and addresses from Theresa and her friends so if money runs out, they could give more to buy vegetable food. Otherwise the government could finance canning horse meat, which could be donated by the horse people.
Betty (Coulthard’s) friends would probably give them one or two. Twenty horses should be given as a gift to Theresa and delivered. Then she would own them.
She would say she doesn‘t want them. You now own them so feed, water and pay vet charges plus labour to care for them.

The other side of the story (is) where people want to protect wolves and coyotes. It’s the government’s obligation to feed their livestock, therefore SPCA donations should be used to euthanize unwanted or crippled horses.
They should be delivered to sites to feed these predators so they don’t bother farmers’ livestock.
The soup kitchens should tell the people they have to turn away that they should steal from the people that want to waste all this food.
