This is, in part, the reason I see this law about horse slaughter so damaging.  Recycling has become so popular, so absolutely necessary nowadays...why not recycle unwanted, unneeded, crippled or aged horses...either for human or animal consumption.

Personally, I think that throwing it away is a waste, and I am bothered by the fact that that is what I am now required to do. If you want to throw away your dead horse or bury it or build a shrine to it, that is your perogative, but I consider it reprehensible that there are some people who want to impose that preference on others.
