There are 9.2 million horses in America. The percentage of so called "un-wanted" horses going to slaughter each year is only 1% of the total number. The is NO WAY a market can be "glutted" based on 1% of its overall volume. The "excess" numbers can easily be absorbed IF only the breeders would take SELF-RESPONSIBILITY for each life they bring into the world. Horse-slaughter is an Un-necessary evil and is used ONLY by those seeking an easy, profitable way to dispose of their "Industry Cast-Offs."

Mad Cows & Martyred Horses
Click title above to see a new blog created specifically to study the relationship of mad cow disease as effects the international demand for horsemeat for human consumption, and how the USDAs failure to adequately & aggressively test for the disease keeps the foreign market demand for horsemeat going.....foreigners still dont trust our beef and who can blame them? European countries test EVERY cow for the disease while the USA tests only 1 in a thousand or so....
