I do not care about the politics of an issue but I do still appreciate the value of truth. Many are trying to seek political points by blaming the President for horse slaughter. To do so is inaccurate. The President can accept legislation or veto it in whole. This amendment was part of the bill to fund the government for a short period. A veto would have resulted in a government shutdown. It was the Congress, and sadly leaders of both parties in Congress, that created this situation.
While it is not accurate to blame the President for this disgrace, it is entirely fair to blame him for each and every abuse that the BLM commits. It is accurate to blame the President for the Department of Interior's opposition to legislation to protect wild horses.
There are heroes in the struggle to save the wild horses in both parties, none more dedicated than Jim Moran, and Walter Jones. There are villains in both parties.
Unfortunately, in Washington, as in the rest of the world, there are a few more bad guys than there are good guys.
That is why the good guys have to work harder.
