[RC] OT Horse Slaughter- mixing issues - Sheila_LarsenAren't there two separate issues here, one the morality of slaughtering horses and two treating animals humanely. I don't have a problem with slaughtering horses, I do have a very serious problem with improper transport and improper handling of animals during the killing process. There seems to have been a serious reform in the cattle slaughter industry with handling cows quietly prior to slaughter and I am not sure why that hasn't happened with the horses. I believe that in many states (although I might be incorrect) horses are not to be transported in cattle trucks. I think it would be better to ask the state and federal gov. to fund the enforcement of existing laws and under animal abuse laws.
