People don’t understand that horses are expensive to take care of and when you can’t sell them to the slaughter house you are forced to feed them which is a constant waste of money. And the only way you can get rid a horse is by giving him away. So you lose everything. When you could at least get something back from the slaughter house

What is the sense in slaughtering innoccent horses? The only animals that we should be allowed to eat should are hogs and cattle. We actually get something from them instead of takeing an innoccent horse! SAVE THE HORSE!

I grew up all of my life loving horses. I do think there should be horse slaughtering to regulate the number of horses and to set a market price on these animals. If we do not slaughter these animals, there will be a major increase in human neglect on these animals.

I think that they should stop the sloughter for
once and for all. They should put the horses to
sleep peasfuly with a shot. But only if they are
in pane or very sik and cant be helped.

I don’t think that they should let them open back up no matter what the appeal is. Horses has the right to have a life just like any other animal. I say keep the slaughter house closed for good and let them have a life. All they want is to be loved and trusted they trusted us and all we are doing is saying “trust us and we will send you away.” they should beable to love and trust without being sent away for something that they haven’t even done to us. These animals are not hurting no one and they say that they are I would like to know how because horses are a part of our american history. America wouldn’t be the same with out them so please everyone fight and keep the slaughter house closed!! ” SAVE THE HORSES!!”

I personaly wouldn’t eat horse, nor would I sell a horse to slaughter. However, I would muuuch rather see horses be slaughtered here rather than make a much longer trip to a unregulated house in Mexico where it is inhumane there. I don’t think the method that the U.S. uses to kill them is inhumane. I don’t see how its any different than shooting them, which I have had done with one of my horses before. Its much quicker and less stressfull for the horse. I think the general public is grossly misinformed about slaughter. Many people don’t have a problem with cow, pig, or chicken slaughter, seeing that the majority of people aren’t vegitarians. I guess people have a problem with horses being killed to eat because they are ‘pets’. Also, I think Americans are egotistical and think that other cultures are wrong because they are different and chose to eat different things. Americans think its silly that some cultures won’t eat cows. In addition to all of this, what is going to happen to all the unwanted horses? I live in an area that has many rescues, and they are all full! I have heard of horses being left at new holland after the sale is over because no one wants them. who will feed and care for the unwanted horses?
