800? Are you sure about your math on that one?
In so far as they don't belong and should be fair game to eat? Yes.

... they're an invasive species from Eurasia that have no place in the local ecosystem, brought to this continent to be livestock.
Horses are livestock.

I'd much rather the federal government end the backdoor-moratorium on horse slaughter in this country.
I also think that most uproar over sending "wild" horses to slaughter is because they're seen as cute and have been miscoded as pets. When someone tries to do their part and eat Asian Carp out of the Mississippi watershed, for example, no one whines on the internet about how those fish are treated.
