RE: [RC] Ethics of slaughter - time to go private? - Susan E. Garlinghouse, DVM
I’ll answer this question privately to Susan and anyone else
that really wants to know, but we’re getting pretty far off the topic of
endurance, (and I suspect if Steph were in town, she’d have reminded us of it
by now) so maybe this thread should go private?

Susan,
As a Vet would you eat an animal (any animal) that had not been
raised to be eaten? With all of the past and current health issues with the
cattle industry that “is” much regulated we still have our issues. Horses sent
to slaughter that have not been fed a healthy diet or given any type of
vaccinations I would think should not be eaten by anyone. Or do the slaughter
houses separate “healthy” from unhealthy horses prior to slaughter. If
horses were raised for food following FDA / Organic requirements I can
understand.
