If my dog were on the highway she would be dead because no one would care. Hitting her would be an inconvenience but not dangerous. At the end of the day it would be my fault.

Sorry POS! All it would have taken would be a couple of guys to calm the horses or tranquilize them...ASS HOLE!
wow! the cops kill her horses and then shes getting a bill for their removal. insult to injury right there
In my business interstate safety and safe travel of the motoring public is the absolute most important thing for me everyday.(period)
as it is as well for the highway patrol..they only patrol the interstates and work accident scences statewide,they wont be investigating a robery,burglary,rape.....Just safe travel and interstate traffic.(period)..If they made the determination that putting these animals down was the "safest"thing to do...Then it was.
I will tell you a quick story about my job.
i had a rookie climb up in my truck to ride along with me on a 3week OJT program.
I told him .."We will see at least 1 MAJOR accident involving small cars EVERY single day ...and a every single day you are in this truck we will see dozens of small fenderbenders on the shoulder..
We will also see at least 1 MAJOR Big Truck accident/rollover for every WEEK that you are in this truck...
Now i could see he really didnt believe me..but the first day we saw 2 autos(1 fatality)..and that night i woke him up for a truck rollover..
So in otherwords he saw 3 his first day on the job.....
It started to sinkin..This aint no game out here.
You guys make amistake on your jobs and someones order may be messedup and your boss gets mad..
I make a mistake on my job and people may DIE.(period)
These interstates out here at 75-80 mph aint no joke..its life/death..blood and glass.
pity the farm animals..i understand..but my father has been a horse owner and has owned hundreds of horses..and not 1 ever wound up loose running around on the interste..
they are expensive show horses.he has quality fences and at night they are in the barn..
i dont know what the $$value was on these horses but that should have nothing to do with the quality of care/fencing/barns that a responsible owner should provide.

Don't drive much at 2am, do you? There can be plenty of traffic. And since the horses were not standing still, they would have to bring all traffic to a dead stop, not "drive around it".
BTW - I did not see you answer how long a wait was proper. How many accidents and injuries would be appropriate to account for 2 horses running loose because the owner did not properly restrain them?
Common sense would tell you that firing a gun in the air would do absolutely no good at all. The horses were already running wild - you think this would help?
I don't like that it happened, just like I don't like seeing dogs get hit by cars, but this is the owner's fault in both cases.
