[QUOTE="spinandslide, post: 339615, member: 5559"] I agree with the first part of your post, regarding breeding..Although Im thinking more of the entire horse market..Crappy horses are not selling, and I've seen PLENTY of folks selling out. Big Paint breeder up in OK did afew months back. and a bunch of his horses ended up on the meat truck. I don't agree with the rest of your post. If I understand it right, it is going to be illegal to "transport" horses for slaughter..so what? You get coggins..that's it..most sales already require that and if Johnny Law stops you, you are hauling your sick cousin's horses so he can pet old Trigger one last time before he passes away :roll: . Canada slaughterhouses at least have some guidelines and inspections..you think Mexico's are that way? Nope...needless suffering of these horses through -LONGER trailer rides -inadeuquate facilties The bottom is going to drop out of the market, lower end horses will be severly effected, it will easier then ever to afford a horse. And we all know the LEAST expensive aspect of owning a horse is the actual purchase..unfortuantly, not everyone else does. I see horses beiing dumped in the pasture because their is no other place for the owners to take them to "Get rid of them". I love horses, but I also feel that slaughter is a nesseccary evil. I also love cows, but again, I eat hamburgers and steak. Not saying I'd eat horse, but they are livestock, same as cows, pigs, chickens, ducks,ect. I feel it's hypocritical for a person to be against horse slaughter, yet eat their bacon in the AM and their steak for dinner..Slaughter is Slaughter. One thing I would like to see changed is the method of transportation and the actual process for horses..the captive bolt gunn is more effect on cattle then horses and can cause undue pain and suffering in a horse.
