One in ten being butchered alive was 'acceptable'. Just imagine what was going on when the inspectors weren't watching. <br /><br />If you own a horse, part of your responsibility is to end that animals life humanely if it is not longer 'useful'. Yes, you have to pay money rather than get paid if you euthanize a horse rather than sell it to the slaughterhouse but if you can't afford the cost of euthanasia and burial/rendering, you shouldn't be owning a horse in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294583146418243340.post-37339897347091768312011-12-02T16:43:59.619-06:002011-12-02T16:43:59.619-06:00it isn't nice to think of any horse going to s...it isn't nice to think of any horse going to slaughter but as long as there are irresponsible breeders and owners it is a better option than the animal starving to death. I have horses and i know the work time and amount of land it takes to maintain them and i am always amazed at the people that think the horse will survive i the back yard i mean look at all the grass they have no concept of a)how fast grass grows in what season B)how much a horse eats C) that the poop has to be picked up and horses wont eat where they have pooped or urinated will round cattle poop etc So being emotional about some have failed to weigh up the odds also i guess no one has seen the halal killing it happens in every meat processing plant that sells to Muslim and it is cruel and allowed as it is politically correct what we do for our own consumption is quick and efficient not so the Halal killing and we do it encase they want to buy ??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
