Re: [RC] Horse Slaughter - osberg

This is a perfect example of why we have to have some more education about horse slaughter.  The majority have no idea what these horses actually endure.  Everyone should learn more before considering this as a more humane ending for a horse.  But, I do not believe that RideCamp is the place for this discussion, so I will not say any more.

"I'm all for horse slaughter for human consumption. Why? If we don't have an outlet for people to destroy unwanted or useless horses they will rot away slowly in their backyards. 
I'm all for transporting these horses safely and humanely but for god's sake, we can't close down the auction barns. There will be more suffering, you just will be spared thinking about it because it'll be in somebody else's back yard. It's my opinion that a 1 or 2 day trip to Canada is a lot less suffering than years of starvation, lameness, etc. before they finally succumb to whatever was ailing them."
