is it a slaughter or are they used for leather meat dog food at least something,i would hope if not thats a big stench to deal with and political mess to have to explain out west we have the mustang round up but we would not just blast and leave.all life needs some respect and if killed put to some use.the words chosen are pretty good culled instead of exterminated or slaughtered.like in viet na it was clean ans sweep after search and destroy was not looked on to good.dont get me wrong they did what they had to but you would think it would be done quietly.christ every year they show the baby seal harvest and it creates an out cry.
