There are three slaughter houses in the United States for horses. Few Americans even eat horse meat! All the meat is exported to Japan, France and other countries that consider it a delicacy. Who here beleives that this is right?

I see the point of cows and sheep (i don't personally eat sheep) but for me and alot of other Americans, horses are meant for companionship and competition. Wild horses on the other hand, they are supposed to be protected. There are few herds left in the world and this particulat American herd is found in Nevada. There are three slaughter houses in America as I said before. Two are in Texas. I am looking up a good website now...hang on...

Ok...for some reason this is not working. Go to the link above and if it go's to a blank black screen with a few pics go to yahoo search and type in Slaughter of USA horses and it should be the first link that pops up

This is how i see it horses were not put here to be eaten but your cows pigs and sheep or whatever else where. I dont usually buy my meat from the store i raise my own pig and cow to slaughter every year. I dont think the US should supply horse meat for other countries

A lot may be shipped over to France, as horse meat is a delicacy there and in other parts of the world. Bon apetit.

I don't like it either but what makes them so different from a cow? It is the same thing. Believe me I hate the idea too. I used to have a horse and the thought of someone eating him makes me sick but people have to eat.

I don't really believe it's right but you seem to leaving out the slaughter houses that kill cows,pigs,chicken's ducks,lambs,& rabbits. All to be consumed by us to eat.don't they count as well?

I didn't know that but I think it is awful because no animal should be killed just for the heck of it.
