Help Stop Horse Slaughter
January28
Did you know that last year over 100,000 horses in the USA were killed for human consumption! Americans do not eat horses, but for some reason we kill them and ship the meat to Europe and Asia. I don’t necessarily agree with the slaughter of any animals, but I had no idea that so many horses were killed and that horse meat was such a big export. Gross.
If you’re interested in helping to stop the slaughter of horses, you can do so here:

There are many ways to help stop animal cruelty, so check out The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals if you’d like to help out in any way (or even just learn a thing or two!).
I’m going to Way out on the limb here. Now I would never eat a horse, theres just too much good beef around. But whats the differance between a horse, cow, goat, moose, deer, shark or any of natures wonderful creatures? Have you ever eaten a rattlesnake, they are really good roasted over an open fire. And should we judge other cultures? Save the old horses for fertilizer or should they go to your house?
Thank you for posting about this. I am not a vegetarian BUT when a human has established a close relationship with an animal like we do with our dogs, cats and horses, I believe it is cruel to dispose of in such a manner when the trust and spiritual bond has been established. Loving is a big responsibility.
Mdh - Yes, I do actually agree with you. I don’t agree with the killing of any animals, but I know that I can’t make a difference trying to stop the slaughter of cows, goats, chickens, etc. I wish I could, but I know it’s virtually impossible. Since horses are domesticated animals, there is a chance that we can stop horse slaughter, so I might as well try to spread the word. I just wish humans wern’t such bastards. If people had to actually kill the chickens used to make their chicken McNuggets, there would be a whole lot more vegetarians in this world…
Well put Vicious. You rock.
Who is to decide what animals should go for slaughter and what animals should not be aloud to be eaten? I love horses and own them, but I love my cows to and still send them out to slaughter. They are animals!! They were put on this earth for the benifit of us humans. I have a relationship with my cows and pet them everyday just like I do with my horses. I have cows that I can hop on their backs and they could care less just like my horses! What would you rather have done with your horse when they are no longer able to do normal, every day activities? Would you rather them be put into the ground and rot or know that they are helping to feed the people of the world. And I am sure many of the people that are against horse slaughter are some of the many people that wear leather clothes, listen to violins that are made from horse hair, visit zoos where endangered animals are fed horse meat, and feed their dogs with dog food made from horse meat! And people say that the way that horses are slaughtered is inhumane, how can you say that? Horses are put unconscious. They are alive one minute and dead the next simple as that! it is as if they have simply fell asleep, they dont feel a thing.
God damn hippie.
You are a friggin Idiot. Have u seen any video’s of horses bein’ slaughterd????? It would def change your mind. They are alive only paralyzed when they are bein’ slaughtered. Why not just pay to have them euthinized??? People like you should not own horses.
