[RC] Reality bites/ horse slaughter - Karen Everhart

Hi Christy,
 
I wish we had a crystal ball so we could see into the future. 
 
I desperately hope that the over production of horses stops. 
 
I hope that horses ARE a "semi-luxury" item that folk think carefully about before taking one on. 
 
I hope that "responsibility" for the care of animals is universally expected of all who have the power to neglect or abuse, and if not, then the "responsibility" to turn them in to authorities is embraced by neighbors and even passers-by and the "responsibility" to convict the neglectful individuals is welcomed by authorities. 
 
I hope that "users" of horses will truly acknowledge the differences among the species between cattle, pigs, horses, etc., and treat all with dignity and respect deserving of any living creature. 
 
I hope..........
 
I do know this:  It is up to horse people to decide what the future will actually "look like".  Will we step up and do the right thing?

What is the long term affect of banning horse slaughter?
