[QUOTE="Waymoore, post: 337961, member: 2938"] Weither you want to admit it or not horse slaughter does or did serve a function. It was a way to use an animal that was of no use to the owner anymore. Now instead of the UNHORSEMAN buying a pony for little Mary Lou as a gift when she is 12 then taking it to the sale barn when she outgrows it or it founders because of poor diets or it in fact does just get to old to ride.They will be left in a pasture and forgot about or worse yet dumped like millions of dogs each and every year.And as far as nonhorseman there will be alot more because the horse market will probably drop making a horse than much cheaper for the individual to buy then he\she will realize that the cost of a horse is alot more than they thought but they cant take it back to the salebarn and they cant give it to any of thier horseman friends cause it is just another mouth to feed then what happens to that horse? It will sit in inadiquate pastures eating weeds to survive untill the flies carry it off or the SPCA takes it and has to put it down. And as far as the horses getting screwed up by the owners oh well they are cheap enough to be disposable if trigger dont act right I will beat some sense into him gee that didnt work well maybe its the horse I will just get another. But on the brighter side if they do shut down the slaughter houses it will help out the imigration problem because the Mexico goverment will start controlling the boarders not to keep them in but to keep the horses out.Now I do admit like I said in an earlier thread the slaughter of horses needs to be diffrent than cattle but I also realize the importance it plays in our society.
