[RC] horse slaughter vs vegitarianism - Karen Everhart

meat, I have to wonder if those decrying the practice are vegitarians or
vegans. 
 
My reply - No, vegetarianism has nothing to do with the public outcry AND most are not opposed to others eating horses, but are opposed to 1- uncontrolled breeding, 2-irresponsible ownership AND 3- inhumace transport and housing and the actual process used to "stun" the horse prior to it being bled out.

screaming about that?
 
My reply - If we began slaughtering dogs to send to Asia, rather than euthanising them (also due to uncontrolled breeding and irresponsible ownership) then there WOULD be a huge outcry
