[QUOTE="chippie, post: 980203, member: 5644"] Actually, the value does mean something. Can you imagine how the bottom would drop out of the beef industry if suddenly cattle could not be slaughtered for human consumption? The slaughter horse market set the base guideline for horse prices, just like the cattle market price affects the price of registered seed stock and show cattle. Personally, I think that it would be better to allow horse slaughter in the U.S. where the process can be monitored with humane guidelines, rather than horses having to endure long trailer rides to Mexico (where the slaughter process and treatment of the animals is not very kind) or to Canada. There is not much difference whether it is a captive bolt to the head at a slaughter plant or a bullet at home. Not everyone can afford having a vet euthanize a horse. It is expensive. The last one I had to have euthanized cost $225. and that did not include burying the horse. [/QUOTE]
