I am a horse owner and lover but also know that horses are livestock. Humans in other parts of the world eat horses and have consistently, even those highly dependent on the horse for transportation and companionship. <br /><br />Well regulated horse slaughter would be no worse than cattle slaughter or other slaughter facilities. NO blood running down the streets or other nightmare on elm street scenarios. <br /><br />If you are against eating meet don't. Others like meat. Where horse is eaten they do not want your old sick and scrawny horses any more than an american would want old sick scrawny cow meet. Horse is not a delicacy in europe it is just food.<br /><br />There is no danger in you losing your horse to a killer bidder at auction-every person who runs a horse through an auction can no sale a horse. i have never allowed a horse to go to someone i didn't want it to go to, whether at auction or though private sale.<br /><br />Regardless of your "facts" abandonment is on the rise. the causes are complex, among them the fact that the market is now glutted and a horse is more affordable than a dog. The difference is that average americans do not know a thing about horses so it is akin to bringing home a leopard. The first time buyer goes to an auction and gets "flicka" for fifty dollars only to find out that flicka is the nightmare on elm street. <br /><br />Th slaughter ban has been good in that it is a wake up call to those who would breed poorly conformed and ill tempered animals in HOPES of a winner. That has been demonstrated now it is time to open government regulated well designed humane slaughter houses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
