Horses and more horses: Penny Byer responds to Sarah Johnson - again

To the Editor: One more response to Sarah Johnson. No, there are no reports of wild horses in Northern Manitoba. (There are no wild horses in Ontario, either, but there are still some in Alberta.

One more response to Sarah Johnson.

No, there are no reports of wild horses in Northern Manitoba. (There are no wild horses in Ontario, either, but there are still some in Alberta.) But whether or not there have ever been wild horses in Northern Manitoba is not the issue. The real issue is the quality of care given to domesticated horses. I think that has been addressed sufficiently in this newspaper.Bear in mind that horses are not native to North America. They were first imported by the Spanish in the 1600s. Should we perhaps, therefore, ensure there are no horses kept on the continent at all? Your question about wild horses suggests that would be the only appropriate action to take.
