[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1123344, member: 9096"] I have to agree with Cowgirl8 as well.. horse slaughter shouldn't be viewed differently than cattle slaughter... Heck, you all know how my cattle are mostly pets, and I send them off every year. If I get one that is old and lame, and had done well for me, I'll put her down here. I also agree that there are WAY too many horses around, especially since MOST of them are all on the dole anyhow... Horses need something to do, Cows need to raise a calf, and a dog needs a property to protect, or cattle to herd, the hen needs to lay eggs, and the cat, well, needs to be left well enough alone and catch mice. They all have a purpose in life, and they're pretty pointless once they can't do it anymore... That said, if they are REAL pets, you will keep them and take good care of them even if they can't perform their duties anymore, but the truth is that most of these horses are yard ornaments and not real pets. How many of you have sold your 10 year old dog? Likely none, because he is a real friend.. yet many many horses just seem to go from place to place, they're nobody's real pet, so just send them off to slaughter and be done with it [/QUOTE]
