Exterminating the wild horses, well in that case I would be willing to exterminate the people who were trying to exterminate the horses.

Wow, that is pretty twisted. I'm really not sure what to say about that except you need some help.
I value the life of horses almost as much as I value the life of my family and my own life, I am a horseman and I really do love horses even the feral ones.

Good for you. I have no problem with that.
And if it comes to either the life of an elk or a horse I will chose the horse to live.

Again, good for you. And I believe you should be able to vote on making that choice, especially in regards to all of the wild horses and elk in Rhode Island. But in regards to the elk and wild horses here, I think the locals, who have to deal with these pests, ought to have a little more say.
By the way neither are humans a native species so I guess that would justify exterminating all the people too would it not?????

Again, your equating human life with an animal is pretty sick. Are you serious, or just trying to make a point?
Actually, your point would be better made by pointing out that horses were native to this continent before the injuns ate them all (pre-Columbian). And what exactly does being native have to do with it anyway? But before you go on about the majesty of these wonderful wild horses, I suggest you take a look at how different they have become from domesticated animals, the ecological damage they do, and the very real danger they pose to motorists.
I just do not like them because they, under the current state of the law, serve no useful purpose. Maybe if I liked horses, I would see it different. Personally, I do not like bumping into feral domesticated animals in the untrammeled wilderness. Just another reminder of man, which is what I am trying to get away from in the woods.
