Re: [RC] ethics of slaughter - Rebecca FabiszakYes, Yes, yes, how do we get this going? Maybe with all of the wonderful people on RC, something can get started. I thought it a great service project for my daughter for 4-H but I don't want her injured or killed by some nutcase that would be against it. I would, and will with help because I am blonde naturally and some don't think I am serious. I am serious, seriously deficient in so many ways but the heart is in the right place.

First, other posters made a wonderfully sane suggestion: rescue groups could instigate the creation of a nationwide network or organization dedicated to the gentle euthanasia and dignified disposal of horses, one which would take ALL horses brought to them and charge a reasonable fee for their services. Clients could choose the method of death and disposal based on their personal beliefs and/or pocketbooks. Second, support legislation respecting the transport and slaughter of horses which would require that horses be treated humanely, right up to and including the coup de grace. No moral/religious underpinning, no distinction between horses as food for people vs animals. Just protection for the horses from inhumane treatment.
