If our members aren’t going to look after their horses, and they’re starving, then haul them away. I’m OK with that.” “We keep them for horseback riding Hughes is not OK with that.

Someone could be seriously hurt. It’s a five-hundred-dollar bill behind We’ve had two or three in the last year hit every horse.” (Continued from page 1) Lyle Whitefish, Big River band member and principal of the First Nation’s elementary school, said he and his family try to round up as many horses as they can. That includes strays and those belonging to other people, he said.
Hughes estimates that impounding feral horses cost the RM at least $20,000 in 2013. That’s just for the ones they caught. That number doesn’t include what farmers have lost to fields that are trampled or to crops that are consumed. Those costs aren’t covered by insurance. Hughes says the problem has gotten so bad at times that the horses have been rounded up and taken to slaughter. In Alberta, legislated capture regulations for feral horses exist under the provincial Stray Animals Act. The number of capture licences issued is regulated, designates areas and ensures the humane treatment of feral horses. It also limits the number of horses that can be removed from an area. Applicants must provide a plan and proof they’re experienced in
capturing horses. Animal rights activists and WHOAS (Wild Horses of Alberta Society) argue that capture licences should be abolished altogether. In Saskatchewan, Lloydminster MLA Tim McMillan introduced a private member’s bill in 2009 that legislated protection for wild horses that roam the Bronson Forest Recreation Site. Beyond that the laws for dealing with wild horses in Saskatchewan fall between the Animal Protection Act or the Stray Animals Act, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the ministry of agriculture. “Feral horses fall at an intersection of different bits of legislation,” said Pugh. “The Animal Protection Act covers cruelty and neglect.
