We just dealt with this issue here. I understand what the horse-lovers are saying, horses are pretty, we love horses, slaughtering is cruel, etc. The problem arises when we realize that, as humans, we sorta need to be stewards of the land, which includes the things living thereon. As Pete said, there are just too many horses, and not enough grass and land. It's a damnable problem, but our responsibility necessitates making tough choices.
