Horse SLaughter...?

Question

Do you think it is wrong

What the real point of my question is I read a story about a baby horse, a thouroughbred infact (not that it makes it better than other horses) But the baby was sent to slaughter because it was unwanted. But us people who don't eat meat or don't slaughter cows for a living can put them in the wrong. You didn't see warriors riding into a historic battle on a cow did you? Horses WERE NOT put on this earth to eat like cows. But we still shouldn't slaughter cows and chikens the way we do. Here is a part of an article I read on that brought me to tears *also there is plenty more to this article* also what I am saying is that should we get slaughtered when we grow old? No.

Horses are bashed in the head, sometimes repeatedly, in order to stun them so that they will fall down and lie still for the 'process'. The stun is not intended to kill them, and it does not, unfortunately. Once down, the horses are caught by the hind leg and hoisted into the air, where they are dangled down a line to a

I just read another story saying about horses and about mares that are giving premarin and it showed a video I did not wtach it and said a still alive mare was hanging upside down with her limbs cut off. It disgusted me. I can't explain my anger and what has the world come to!!????

Answer 1

Okay for the first person thta anwered this question you have no point behind youre no part. Every horse whether it is lame or useless still has a brain that functions and knows exactly what is going on. That horse whether it was lame or was too old to ride does that mean that we just have to throw it away like a freakin peice of paper, because the paper was no longer useable? That horse could have lived out the rest of his life in a pasture as a little girls best friend, not in a slaughter house. Either that or the horse could have been humanly uthinized intsead of being beat over the head and skinned. I think that we can figure out other ways of making glue and all of the other things that we supposdly use from horses, i mean we have found other ways to make other stuff! But no, this world is too freakin cruel to even relize that a horse is not as dumb as most people make them our to be. Luckily for the horse, horse slaughter is now banned in the united states until further action is thought of. I have 6 thoroughbreds and one that is no longer rideable, so does this mean that he is useless and goodfor nothing? Absoulutly not. He still wants to run and play and be happy he just not rideable. Just like an old person jsut because they cannot drive does not mean that they are totally useless, or because they cannot cook for themselves anymore we wouldnt send them to a slaughter house would we? All i have to say is that there is nothing that is good behind slaugher, and that whoever says that there is a good point behind slaughter is very DUMB! If youll excuse me i am going to go outside and feed and take care of my horses.

Answer 2

YES IT IS WRONG!! People need to get the real story on this.Horses are not slaughtered for dog food or glue.Our pets are murdered to feed the wealthy people in Europe and overseas.

A lot of people think that old sick and lame horses go to slaughter.This is simply false and is pro slaughter propaganda.The Truth is healthy,fat and sound horses a slaughtered every day. I attend killer auctions in PA and across the country and see what is in the kills pens and what goes to slaughter.Every week there are healthy horses waiting an inhumane death.Most of them are Qh or stock type breeds.Then STB, TB's ponies and a few drafts from the Amish

Answer 3

I don't agree with horse slaughter, but some countries do eat horse and it provides a need for them. In the US there isn't a large scale market for horse meat like there is beef, chicken, and pork, so you don't see mass producers of them. That is why the majority of slaughter horses tend to be old and/or unwanted. Horses are expensive to just be kept as pets or sent to a shelter like cats and dogs are, and when someone can no longer afford them they send them to a sale barn and hope for the best. Sometimes the horses go to a good home, but most of the time they are sent to slaughter.

Answer 4

Yes and No.

No. because, as in the story you read a foal still has a chance in life. Unless it has a fatal disease or a problem wrong that made him hurt. Other horses are easily tossed out when the 'newness' wears off.

Yes. because look at the way some people treat their horses. If you every seen an abused horse who had come up with a broke leg. Would you want to be the horse trying to walk around with 3 legs?

Answer 5

Well, it depends. If the animals are treated humanely throughout the WHOLE process, then I find no wrong in it. I personally would never do it, or sell a horse to be slaughtered, or eat them, but I can't say it's wrong if you treat them humanely. However, I know that is really not ever the case, so then I disagree with it. (by humane treatment I mean everything to trailering to the actual slaughter - all painless)

Answer 6

yes and no.

yes-because i love horses sooo much. I don't think they should be sent to slaughter because there are too many or because some ****** wants to make a few hundred bucks.

no- old, lame, useless horses are going to make dogfood, gelatin, and probably other stuff we use. In some countries, it's like hamburger. I wouldn't eat horse, but i eat beef. Is it wrong that we raise and slaughter cows? i think it depens on how you are raised and what country a person is from.

Answer 7

yes, its wrong, to a point. But in some countries, horses are slaughtered for food. I don't think it is fair for us as Americans can say that it is wrong for them to eat a horse just because we don't. How can we slaughter cows to eat, and then judge them for eating horses. Don't get me wrong, I love horses and would never hurt one, and would never ever eat one, but I can't judge others for it.

Now, to just slaughter horses for the money in it, yes that is very wrong. To make glue or dog food out of them is not right. They should not take a healthy horse that someone could rescue and just kill it to be killing it.

Answer 8

human beings additionally forget approximately now and back that's a have-to-sell concern. issues take place. Pastures for lease substitute into unavailable - and while there's a short quantity of time to locate a clean place or sell them now and back the only way holiday to the typical public sale is the only decision. :-( Rescues can no longer and could no longer take in the numbers of horses that now are no longer likely to slaughter. lots of the horses - from a kill purchaser's view - ideally are the unbroke 4-8 365 days previous horses that have been in a pasture. the common "Molly's so rather enable's breed her" offspring that fluctuate into no longer lovable while they seem to be a 365 days previous and turning nasty via fact they have not at all been disciplined an afternoon of their life. that's no longer the fault of breeders/running shoes. a pair months in the past horses right here have been $15-20. there is powerful little hay and much less pasture available. between the drought in some places and the floods in others hay is going to be very scarce this 365 days. each individual who campaigned for it actually can take 10-15 of those horses - That'd remedy the 'overpopulation' precise away - artwork the magic and make all of them into solid utilizing horses. of direction many are not suitable to that - i understand of a mare as quickly as that, regrettably, the terrific place for her became into slaughter. She became into risky for knowledgeable handlers and can harm green ones. And for those saying how we don't do it right here...it wasn't that some years in the past horse meat became into eaten right here in the U. S.; it became into on the beef counter. there's a USDA nutrition web site that still has cutting-edge nutrition content textile for horse meat. If we weren't so spoiled with plenty right here - or if beef expenses proceed to upward push - it does not marvel me the tide might turn back. there became into even an episode of All in the family participants in the '70s that became into approximately procuring horse meat and serving it - and Archie theory it became into magnificent beef. that's a distasteful concern, no pun meant. yet there is too many unknowns for euthanasia - no person has spoke back what's going to take place while those 50,000+ (in accordance with what statistic you study as much as double that) horses loaded with deadly chemical components attain the floor water grant. certainly it variety of feels those screaming for euthanasia not at all think of approximately it nor choose to communicate that. And for what it is well worth - if human beings get hungry adequate that they had consume a canine or cat too. :-/
