Feds Send Sheldon Refuge Horses to Mississippi Slaughter Middleman

The recent transfer of Sheldon Refuge horses to a Mississippi slaughter middleman has sparked significant controversy and concern among wild horse advocates. These horses were seen leaving Stan Palmer's property in Mississippi, loaded onto trailers pulled by trucks licensed to a stockyard owner in Louisiana. This development has raised questions about the fate of these horses and the ethical implications of their transfer.

Sheldon Refuge, known for its wild horse population, has been at the center of debates regarding the management and protection of these animals. The involvement of a slaughter middleman in Mississippi has intensified the scrutiny on the practices surrounding wild horse management.

Advocates for the American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) are calling for increased transparency and humane treatment of these horses, emphasizing the need for policies that prioritize their welfare and protection in the wild.
