Most horses receive meds and dewormers regularly in their life, which would remain in their system. Would any one knowingly eat these same meds??

A necessary evil I am afraid to say I think owners should have choices about what they do with their horses if they sell at auction they realize there is a chance that the horse will be sold for slaughter not everyone have ability to keep unwanted or unusable horses. Since slaughter houses have been shut down abandoned and neglected horses have been at a high wouldn’t it be better to slaughter in US than send to Mexico or Canada where there is no regulations.

There are SO MANY reasons NOT to open horse slaughter plants again. It didn’t work to reduce unwanted/neglected horse’s in the past, horse stealing had been at an all time high and property values dropped, while local citizens had to use their tax money to clean up the mess departing slaughter house’s left. Slaughters house’s have a sign directly in front of their gates, NO sick, thin, injured horse’s will be accepted. What does that tell you….. Fat/healthy horse’s are all they want (doesn’t matter what kind of drugs they’ve been given). Be one who helps put an end to horse slaughter in the US… Please
