I agree there is WAY to many unwanted horses and pets as well. People are overbreeding and not caring where they go but careing about making money instead 🙁

Well, I see it this way. Slaughter IS needed, but it is VERY inhumane. It is the fault of people who breed horses that are unneeded and unwanted. Breeding all of the senseless cross breeds and grade horses. Not that some crosses or grade horses are not good horses, but MOST people do not want them which ends with there being nowhere for them to go. Slaughter SHOULDN’T be needed, but it is because of stupidity.

If you can’t care for your horse, PLEASE give it away – I bet there would be plenty of people (like me) willing to take it. Don’t let it die!

LOOK AT THIS PEOPLE:They include over-breeding; the downturn in the economy; sharply rising costs of hay; the drought that has affected many parts of the U.S.; the costs of euthanasia and carcass disposal; and the closing of the nation’s three slaughter facilities, which removed the floor on the value of horses.This is WHY I am pro-Slaughter…Slaughter,most of you think,is NOT NECESSARY,yet it is!! Look what is happening to these horses!By STOPPING SLAUGHTER,we are HURTING MORE HORSES!!Don’t you people get this?This is Stupid,all of you anti-Slaughter People..LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE!!
