In reply to Joanne. Agreed, horse management software makes our lives so much easier.

This article confirms many of the trends that I have been seeing in the horse industry. In response to the slaughter issue…no, I do not want to send my long term companion to the meat plant. But, when you have uninformed horse owners that are over breeding their herd, ever increasing the amount of un-wanted horses in the U.S., then we all have to re-consider the slaughter option. There are now today more horses in the U.S. than there were 60 yrs ago, when we were using them on the family farm.

Some people are just plain sick. Horse slaughter is morally wrong, and just plain wrong. They are not a livestock animal in the U.S., they are companions, just as dogs and cats. Next, the U.S. will be just as bad as Asia and will be killing our dogs and cats. Dogs and cat, livestock animals? I Don’t Think So! So seriously people, you aren’t a horse lover if you support the killing of companion animals. Not only do some of the people in this survey support slaughter, they support “Option of Slaughter”, meaning that some would send their own horses to slaughter. That is just plain sick. I mean really, you people call yourselves horse lovers? If you support the option of killing your own animals, who are you? This is just appalling, scary, and wrong on so many levels.

There seemed to be a high level of interest in horse slaughter. I wonder if that was because the topic of putting a horse down humanely wasn’t a choice.

It’s fun to see the results of this study after having participated. It’s interesting to see where I rank in comparison to the average.

I find this data very interesting. I guess I am a statistics nut at heart- especially when it relates to horses.

I was one of the respondents to this study and I just wanted to say that it was very interesting to both participate and to see the results.
