dominic dyer(@domdyer70):A heartbreaking investigation revealed that Trump's Bureau of Land Management is systematically rounding up thousands of America's wild horses, then quietly selling them off to buyers who are shipping them to slaughterhouses abroad. Before, the U.S. government rarely sold wild horses. But since Trump took office, government sales have more than doubled. Slaughterhouses pay up to $750 a wild horse, the investigation found. The Bureau of Land Management is nominally in charge of protecting the 73,000 or so wild horses who roam America's public lands in the West. Under Trump, the Bureau is sending our wild horses to the slaughterhouse. (Source: New York Times)
