So we have the SPCA, who are complaining of short staffing,sending two people up, and a vet who is volunteering or being paid but still investing a day of work,dozens of people going up to shovel and packing hay in. We now have about $5000 each in these nags for what.Take a rifle in on one trip and end any suffering. Done deal. - norml Sun, 21 Dec 2008 21:44:45 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20081220166971/local/news/sledders-attempt-to-save-horses.html#comment-17254 This is not a wonderful story. A wonderful story would be if the treehuggers stop complaining about snowmobiles. The customers that ride those horses think that they are the only ones that should be allowed out in the backcountry. Maybe you think no one should be allowed into the backcountry. Snowmobilers are not interested in cleaning up after the tree huggers either, but no one is perfect. - White Eyes Sun, 21 Dec 2008 20:32:46 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20081220166971/local/news/sledders-attempt-to-save-horses.html#comment-17222 The customers that ride those horses wouldn't be the ones responsible for leaving them there. Why take a positive, wonderful story and put a negative spin on it? People shouldn't be leaving snowmobile parts or any garbage in the forests. - travhops Sun, 21 Dec 2008 11:11:45 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20081220166971/local/news/sledders-attempt-to-save-horses.html#comment-17220 Sledders are just people that enjoy the back country experience as much as anyone else. Trouble is the customers that usually ride those horses left in the Renshaw would also sign a petition to the government to ban snowmobiling in the mountains. The summer eco tourists complain and protest to the government when they find a broken piece off a snowmobile that was lost or a tree that has been culturally modified by a snowmobile. It is odd that leaving a couple of horses in the mountains to die doesn't bother those same people. - White Eyes Sun, 21 Dec 2008 08:37:10 +0100 http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/20081220166971/local/news/sledders-attempt-to-save-horses.html#comment-17197 Good luck. Without the kindness of people these animals would have no chance. Hats off to the sledders. - travhops Sat, 20 Dec 2008 14:33:22 +0100
