Reflection to topic
Like i said in my personal bio, I have a passion for animals and they somewhat influence how i feel about some things in the world today. A big issue that i have been dealing with is Horse Slaughter and the illegal transport that still occurs across the United States. Some people might just say that it's the same as slaughtering cows, pigs, and other farm animals, but i'm pretty sure that there is a major difference. I have personally been to a horse auction where i just went to see what it was like, and i was shocked by the conditions of the horses there and the amount that were being loaded up and sent to Mexico and Canada. If you aren't familiar with the topic, horse slaughter houses have been banned in the U.S., which is a plus, but they are now being shipped out of the country. I'm sure that i won't be able to change this, being one person, but maybe I can make a little difference by informing people of the dangers and terrible nature of this.

That is very interesting and sad. I didn't know they did that at all. How can someone kill a cute little horse?
ReplyDeleteI know...horses are so innocent and beautiful. I can't imagine people being able to do this to any type of animal. It should be forbidden everywhere not just in the United States.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great topic choice. Animal cruelty in general is awful and should not be allowed. I did not realize that horse slaughter was as big of an issue as it is. I just never really thought of anyone doing such a thing. You should try to find out more about the laws and regulations of horse slaughter.
ReplyDeleteYea i feel the same way. I probabaly will look at the laws and whatnot just to clarrify and see if there really is anything more that can be done.
