Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] [RC] OT Horse Slaughter- mixing issues - Juli JakubBarbara,I agree with that...starving people do not have the luxury and I am thankful that I can choose. I feel like I am being forced into a view however I did not take. I am undecided how I feel about horse slaughter...not against it, not for it. I do not make hasty decisions on anything. I would need to read the actual legislation. But I stand by that I think both options...slaughter or neglect sucks for the horse! Slaughter is probably the only alternative, but having been to slaughter plants and seen the trailering conditions I still cannot help but feel for animals going through that horrible process. I also do think that only healthy horses are slaughtered for consumption...wasted horses, sick horses ect. are slaughtered but not for consumption. I actually feel better about it if they are being eaten. Then death has not been in vain and their body has served a purpose. I grew up with a Blackfoot lady who taught me it is better to be respectful if you kill something for food...kill it humanely and use as much of it as you can...although I admit I still cannot stomach chicken feet soup!!! I would love to see real change in the slaughter conditions myself, but I do not think the legislation dealt with that specifically....does anyone know? To keep this endurance...my filly heads to the clinic in Vermont to be tested for who knows what...no one still can figure out what is wrong...so my start in endurance is delayed...I am going to event my TB in the meantime...My other two horses seem under the weather now too...I am thinking some plant they are eating?? I hope this round of tests tells me something!
