LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Displacing wild horses a cruel choice

Susan Blake, Pahrump

Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009 | 2:01 a.m.

Regarding the Las Vegas Sun’s Monday editorial “Saving Western mustangs: New plan is announced that would establish horse preserves in the Midwest and East”:

My question is this: How can mustangs, having been born and having lived their lives in the West, survive the harsh winters — blizzards and frozen water, to name two examples — in the Midwest and the East?

To displace these majestic creatures of beauty would be to sentence many of them to slow, thirsty, cold and hungry deaths.

    Why? Because most humans have a heart of darkness. . .

    I have an idea Susan on how to save the wild horses; put them in your own yard
