Tom:
That
adds up to 4,390,000 horses total, that went to some beneficial use. Now,
explain to me exactly what YOU would have done with these 4,390,000 horses
otherwise. You might consider that amounts to 3,951,000,000 pounds of horse
flesh to dispose of.

"Between 1980 and Sept. 2003, 3,890,142 American Horses have
been slaughtered in foreign owned Federally Inspected USDA slaughterhouses
located in the USA. Between 1990-2000 another 500,000 American Horses
have been exported to Canada for slaughter." http://equineprotectionnetwork.com/slaughter/stats.htm
What is found on this site will turn any rose colored glasses to bright
crimson. The fact that Americans allow this to happen for foreign
consumption while at the same time refusing to eat, acknowlege and ignore the
inhumaneness of the kill sickens me. tom sites
