This is a perfect example of why we have to have
some more education about horse slaughter. The majority have no idea what
these horses actually endure. Everyone should learn more before
considering this as a more humane ending for a horse. But, I do not
believe that RideCamp is the place for this discussion, so I will not say any
more.
"I'm all for horse slaughter for human consumption. Why? If we
don't have an outlet for people to destroy unwanted or useless horses they
will rot away slowly in their backyards.
I'm all for transporting these horses safely and humanely but
for god's sake, we can't close down the auction barns. There will be more
suffering, you just will be spared thinking about it because it'll be in
somebody else's back yard. It's my opinion that a 1 or 2 day trip to Canada is
a lot less suffering than years of starvation, lameness, etc. before they
finally succumb to whatever was ailing
them."
