I can see where your coming from Horseloverofall,And from my personal experience see quite a difference between horses and cows, dogs and pigs.
Perhaps so many people are out raged about horse/dog slaughter is that dogs and horses develop a special bond with there owners. Don’t get me wrong, some cows and pigs do too.
I also think the bond between us has gone back more than just the last few generations. From the beginning of time horses and dogs have been ‘special’ to their owners. And cows and pigs were always a ‘meat’ in most places…. This is just a theory.:)
I’m not saying they deserve to die, but its just the way things have gone for 10000s of years.:S

No living creature deserves to die , but the REALLY sad truth is that people frown upon Dogs being eaten and horses, really the only creautures that are “tamed” is that really fair?? Why can people try to stop pig slaughtering or cow? Those creautres are just as alive as horses and dogs, think about that the next time you cry over horses, what about the cows in our life?
Dont get me wrong i mysefl eat meat, but why are people so un-conserned? Dosen’t every animal deserve a chance at life?

I love horses but one day i thought of a animal which i really didnt think was bred to be “free”, i saw how it was done i and that night i cryed my self asleep…. People should really think about the “useless” animals and AT the same time think of the ones you love, every living creature, even YOU, deserves to live! Please take a moment to think about that.

Horse slaughter is cruel in many cases, but not in all. I rest my case.

Well, I’m sure that at least a few aren’t as dramatic as some storys may say. I think that we love our horses so much here at GHC that we tend in some cases to be a bit extravigent (or how ever its spelled!).

Firestorm anna: There are some that euthanize their horses because the public demands it, and how can we prove to you over the Web that this is not so?

Cassie: I have never even heard of kill-houses doing that. Prove that some kill-house do that.

Hey ya’ll!

Well, in my opinion horse slaughter is not necessary, but I need to bring something up. The stories in GHC are a little bit dramatized. Yes, horse slaughter is cruel, but it usually isn’t so bad that they force horses to hand from chains and bleed to death. I’m sorry, but rarely does this happen. There are many slaughter houses that euthanize the horse, humanely. I don’t agree with the fact that horses who have a chance at life are slaughtered, but often it is done humanely.

I totally agree that breeding horses excessively is wrong and a problem. A stable near my home has ended their breeding program due to these circumstances.

I think that horses without any hope should be HUMANELY put down, but I definatly say that horses that have a chance should get one. After all, you dont see us taking babies and killing them because they dont have a chance. Of course babis and horses are two comletely different beings, I still say that it is wrong to slaughter horses that might make it.
