The Humane Society is working toward getting shipments of horses for
slaughter banned altogether- and to make it illegal to transport them out
of the US. I know there is a lot of controversy over this issue, but if
there is no market to "dispose" of them so easily, maybe people will stop
breeding so many without thinking carefully about it? There are also more
horse rescues appearing on the scene. Anyone interested can get e-mail updates
from the Humane Society of the United States. (They're also working on
banning "Puppy Mills, which is great news) People in Cambodia and some
other middle eastern countries eat dogs, but we aren't butchering dogs and
sending them over there to be eaten.
