CHEYENNE — A plan to give the Wyoming Livestock Board an alternative to selling abandoned horses is getting stiff opposition from animal welfare advocates.
And it is coming even before the new law goes into effect July 1.
The plan by members of the United Organization of the Horse is to set up something like a triage operation at the old railroad stockyards in Cheyenne for abandoned or unwanted horses. The horses would be screened and provided rehabilitation, training or slaughter, depending on their condition. The plan is ultimately to market horse meat in the state.
