And realize also, with out the slaughter houses, how many horses would be "out back" being unfed and uncared for. There could develop a situation similar to that with other pets, dogs and cats in the local pound.

 

Already we see neglected and uncared for horses in quantities far surpassing the allowable.

Subject: RC: RE: Arabs to slaughter

At first I was depressed and disgusted about all this talk about slaughterhouses.  Then I started to think about it.  The fact that Skip rescued Red from a slaughterhouse and Red won at Pan Ams has brought a little more attention to the subject.  Hopefully this would help to save more lives and bring more attention to appropriate breeding and marketing strategies.

I used to laugh about people scouring slaughterhouses for their next “big winner”- but now I’m not laughing as much.  Even if the motivations may be a little off-base, at least there’s a chance for a rescue.

You'd think these Arabs, even the mature ones, would
be too small in weight to be very profitable at the
slaughter houses.  In OK, meat is about .45/#
