Last years USEF horse of the year was a horse rescued from slaughter. Many of us have rescues from the slaughter pipeline and they are amazing horses, sound, nothing wrong with them and very wanted. <br /><br />I'll be sure and tell my friends who had their horses stolen and sold to slaughter that their horses were unwanted. That's why they still suffer from PTSD, are haunted by nightmares of what their horses were subjected too. Horse slaughter is a dirty nasty business and the killbuyers even refer to themselves as a "mafia."

Kill buyers are looking for fat, healthy horses, not skinny ones people can't afford to feed!<br /><br />And furthermore, if a horse has no value except for 'by the pound,' a humane death is far more preferable and conscionable than shipping to slaughter. A well-placed bullet costs $0.50.

If those buyers or traders should unload and abandon horses, then they are violating laws and should be dealt with accordingly.

It's because US horses are not raised for food and we give our horses substances which are banned from human consumption. The meat is not safe and we don't eat horses in this country. Buy the way, the plants don't buy starving horses.

They BUY them. It's not like they collect them running loose in the wild. They troll Craigs list free horse offerings, advertise in local papers and on radio stations, do deals with unscrupulous racing trainers and lottery-style breeders, and buy horses at auction.<br /><br />And if there are no kill buyers guess what? The owners still own them, the vast, vast majority of whom can well afford to continue to provide feed and care.<br /><br />And the best news? No more incentive for reckless breeding. Breeders will have to put an emphasis on quality breeding without their convenient discard market. That's going to be one of the best things ever to happen to equines and our industry.CanAmFamhttp://habitatforhorses.org/doors-close-americas-horses/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138692513508718186.post-74908830905016432402012-10-14T10:10:26.801-04:002012-10-14T10:10:26.801-04:00ALL comments are moderated.

American horse meat is a toxic pharmacopeia of common medications banned from the food chain and given to the vast majority of equines on a regular basis. This closure is good news for horses AND humans! <br /><br /><br />CanAmFamhttp://habitatforhorses.org/doors-close-americas-horses/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138692513508718186.post-65365622115110175102012-10-13T02:25:00.630-04:002012-10-13T02:25:00.630-04:00That is not a good thing at all...

I'd like to know what you are doing to save all of the starving horse that people don't want or can no longer afford to feed due to the rising price of hay & grain costs. I love horses too, but horses are "livestock" and as such can be a healthy meat source for those that use it.

A few maybe but most will end up being starved in someones back yard or turned out to fend for them selves where they will either starve or become the prey animals they are. I hope you have a whole lot of land and an endless supply of money, because it's not going to be cheep for you to house, vet,feed and have all of them trimed. I can tell you I'm sure as hell not going to pay for it.<br /><br />Kristin L.<br />TennesseeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
