I heard it was 2 men and a 13 year old boy from Sundre.
I hope the charges stick!

The fact that people can shoot such an amazing animal is beyond me. I am pleased to read that something is being done – although not enough – I’d wish upon them that same fate they imposed upon the wild horse … but that wouldn’t be nice! I love the amazing photos you have of the horses and would hope to see them myself one day.

Thank you and keep up the good work. I will be sending in my membership

This news is such a relief. Maybe with all of the attention this will generate, the government will realize that it is a priority that they reclassify the Wild Alberta Mustangs as a protected species. We can hope.

Thank you God! I hope more people are caught and charged, and they pay for what they have done.

I am so happy to hear that there’s been a break in the case, now let’s hope these are the right people and that they receive punishment for such a horrible crime.

Hopefully the wildies are now safe!!

I camp in this area and never tire of the site of these beautiful animals. Your orginization has to take a very important role in this tradgedy and not let this be swept under the carpet because of “family influenses”. I am sure that these people are resposible for more than one horse. These criminals deserve the harshest penalties available. This crime cannot be redeemed with a simple fine.

this is good news lets hope the right people are caught and dealt with properly.I think if things are going to change in government it is going to take input from many people and not leave it up to a few .I can hardly beleive so few have signed the petition.Maybe it is time for a huge delegation to have a meeting with the people that make these decisions.

Thanks so much for making this organization to help the wildies. I will be sending in a cheque soon for a membership. I got a calendar from you guys for my father and he is an absolute WHOAS supporter now.

Also, my cousin is from Didsbury and she said the next court date for these guys is March 1st. Hopefully by that time they can find more evidence to make the charges stick. I used to work with the SPCA and there is a lot of studies that show that people who abuse animals will later turn into murderers and such. We really do not need this type of people on the streets.

This is a reply to the person who was so cowardly to post under the name “joe blow” every person is entitled to their own opinion . Now my opinion would be that if you are going to publish your opinion, use your real name, otherwise you come across as a loser yourself. If the people who are accused of shooting one of the horses out west are found guilty , well I hope the throw the book at em ,their reputation will be ruined forever aswell if found guilty.I am very glad that the RCMP are making some headway,and have laid charges.

P.S. its about time everyone joined forces and start getting something done for this species wildwesthorse@hotmail.com

Dear : Wild horse lovers In memory of my old pal Slim Davis I would like to say he would be very proud of you all and I hope those cruel people get whats coming to them I rode with Slim sence I was a kid and grew up with the love of the wild horses and Slims encouragement to always protect them. For those of you out there who have never seen a wild Stallion standing proud on A RISE WATCHING HIS HERD long heavy mane and tail blowing in the wind or rounding up his mares,and the lead mare leading them out of danger now the herds are smaller are getting used to people and easier for people to get close enough to harm them I,m sad for you because it is the most thrilling heart warming sight in the world. Shame on you people who kill these beautiful horse,s and a mare foaling look that picture or the young stallion up again those tree,s left there wounded to die where is your heart what were you thinking when you did these awful things .Who ever you are and why you would do some thing so mean it will live in your mind forever.Our loss was great but in the the end you are the loser .I am sad for your bad actions.Mildred.
