Horse slaughter is not only cruel and inhumane to horses, it is harmful to humans as well. In its lifetime, a horse is given medications and other toxic substances that would be harmful to humans and animals that consume its meat. Horse meat is not sold in the United States, but it is exported to other countries.
Horses are beautiful, intelligent animals that bring joy and friendship into our lives. We need to protect these sensitive animals from being killed.
Horses can’t speak for themselves, but we can be their voice. Let congress know that Americans won’t stand by while these precious animals are butchered.
Please don’t be a bystander, be a rescuer! Follow this link to act today:

Honestly I don’t get it! If there is a law already that says there can’t be horse slaughterhouses in the US then why do they want to change that law?

What’s wrong with sticking with beef and chicken and pork!?!? Why do people think they need horse meat to eat?

This is sick. Horses aren’t meant to be eaten. They’re meant to be ridden or used to pull carriages and stuff. And to the person in the video who said they’re not meant to be a pet or whatever, yes they are. Cows aren’t really of any use besides being eaten and the same goes for pigs. IDK, horses are just different than other animals, and I don’t think this is right.
And plus, they won’t be getting rid of the horses that may actually NEED to be put down. They’re gonna be killing tons of perfectly good, HEALTHY young horses that could’ve been great for 4-H and stuff.

Guess that won’t go threw, seeing as the state of OK just approved a horse slaughter plant. All the prohorse slaughter people on the BLM board are took advantage of the pending bill, during their conferance in OK last week. OK has one of the largest Mustang holding pens, isn’t that handy!
Funny, I don’t remember reading about anyone wanting the horse slaughter plant, other than AQHA and the BLM, plus breeders etc. Easy way out for all. No sick/neglected/old will be accepted by the horse slaughter plants, only 5-7 fat horses. There will not be any decrease in unwanted/abused/neglected horse’s. No one is fooled. It’s all about money and we all know the BLM is in really hot water, what with all the Mustangs they’ve taken, so the cattle/sheep how “room to roam” and the ranchers have a cheap ticket to feed their stock.

Sick and twisted! Horses have done so much for us, and all we do in return is slaughter them??? That seems morbid! Horses are intelligent creatures that do not deserve this kind of thing whatsoever. There are other animals for eating (that are better than horses!), so why kill horses? They usually slaughter the horses inhumanely and cruelly. Horses are helpful in so many other ways! Why does THIS have to be one of the ways humans use them???

There is plenty of safe meat on the market from animals that are not noted to provide companionship and offer healing to many troubled individuals. This whole idea of eating these elegant, sensitive creatures repulses me, is totally shocking. What is wrong with this man in Roswell that he can’t find something else to do but slaughter innocent, trusting creatures?

This is disgusting! Horses spend their lives working for us and doing their best to please us and this is how we repay them? Its horrible, inhumane and it disgusts me that people could do this to such beautiful, gentle, loving creatures.
