The Wild Horses of Alberta Society 
Could you say why they are being adopted and not left in the wild?
Thanks

WHOAS would love to be able to release these horses back into the wild, but we are prohibited by the Alberta government’s AEP department. These are all horses that have strayed or been pushed onto private property. In the past when this happened the horses would have been caught up, sent to meat buyers. We have worked very hard to stop this and that is why we now have a facility to which we can bring these horses, gentle them down and adopt them out. We step in now to capture the horses to give them a chance for a better life in a caring and loving forever home. Also in the past the government has culled large numbers of wild horses and WHOAS now has the capability to rescue them instead of them going to a much different end.
Previous posts have outlined the stories of these horses and how and why we ended up saving them from slaughter. As we have stated too, what would one rather have auction or adoption? Public support is so important for us to continue this work otherwise it could go back to the way it was, which is not nice.
