[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 252548, member: 3739"] I read and re-read this thread and still can't decide yes or no. I realize that there's two sides of this argument on horse slaughter, and neither is right nor wrong. For-there's horses that are crippled, old, so abused to the point that that behaviour can't be fixed, among other things, that the slaughter plants are useful for. They're also used for exporting horse meat to places like France and Belgium where it is a popular dish, a good source of income. And yet... Against-to some folks, if not most, horses are not meant to be raised as slaughter animals, like that of cattle. They are sources of enjoyment, relaxation, recreation, work, and they can also be a bit of a hobby. I've found that there are horses that are sold to these plants that are perfectly healthy, in mind, body, and disposition, that are slaughtered. All because of money. And the carelessness of the bloody owner. That part, the horses being slaughtered just to get more money, doesn't really agree with me. If the horse-slaughter plants get shut down, then those type of people would have to find some other way of getting rid of their unwanted critters. But even then those people don't deserve to own a horse (or any other animal) at all... I could go on and on, but that's what's running through my gray-matter this time of night... [/QUOTE]
