Re: NO on Prop. 6

["Steven Proe" <trails@jps.net>]

No one has mentioned the capture and sale of the Mustangs by (BLM agents)
and unscrupless horse buyers that buy you critter and then drive to the
auction. There have also been reports of horses dissapearing and just never
being seen again. Except unknowly in the buther or grocery stores. Steven
