[RC] The Old Way (now slaughtering) - apachepetraI don't normally post on here and especially about any issue that is contriversial but I had to chime in here and say that I feel that Heidi is 100% correct with the following statements: "Actually, it is a huge relapse into "inhumanity"--although we seem to have lost sight of the fact that horses are not "humans" and that what is needed is "horse welfare." There is nothing even REMOTELY "humane" about preventing death so that horses can starve slowly instead of being killed quickly. It boggles my mind how anyone can claim to love horses and not understand this basic premise." "I'm all for taking steps to ensure that slaughter is done in a humane way (which, btw, refers not to treating them as humans as "humanity" suggests, but rather treating them ethically because we as humans can do that), but there is nothing even remotely progressive about forcing unwanted horses to live miserable lives!"
