General Findings

I have been concerned with this topic for a while now and I didn't have much trouble finding information about it. I do not have the names of the articles, but i was able to find very informative on equine veterinary sites. They would go into detail about the process and how the people went about getting these animals. I was also able to view some videos on youtube.com that gave me a glimpse into the world of slaughter and really showed how these horses were treated. With this research opportunity, i would like to focus mainly on the ways that the process can be improved and hopefully stopped one day. The treatment of the animals is terrible and that would be the largest problem that i am having with the issue.

    I'm curious to know what horse slaughterers say are the benefits fo slughtering horses like this. Why do they feel the need to so do this?

    I'd like to know why it is okay to do it outside of the United States? Why is killing innocent animals ever okay?

    Foreign countires view there meat at a delicacy and i guess they just view it the same way they view cow slaughtering. ANd no i don't see how if slaughtering is banned in the United States why it wouldn't be elsewhere. It just makes me really mad when i think about all of the good horses that are killed each year by heartless people.

    Yeah it makes me angry too. It's against the law to kill people, but it's okay to kill horses? That doesn't seem right to me. I know we kill other animals for meat, but horses have never really fallen under that category. Something needs to be done for this because horses are beautiful animals and shouldn't be treated that way.

    Yeah when i think of animals that are killed for human consumption, i think of cows, pigs, chickens, and other farm animals. I became aware of the horse slaughtering a few years ago and I have been watching for a law to pass that completely bans it all together. I mean the people can find some other animal to eat.
