you dont even want to get me started on this one.
I HATE IT, horses dont deserve to be slaughtered for no reason especaily the wild horses (go read Front Range Equine Rescue (FRER))
but what I hate even MORE is the transport of the horses. But they are both Extremely Cruel and are definatly not necisary. I have Enterviewed a LOT of people including KillBuyers, Vets, and general horse people, and you wont belive this but my VEARY OWN vet Agrees with it and it doesnt bother her. and a lot of other people do to. but there are also a lot of people that dont like it.
Pros- keeps down on the population, Keeps a lot of starving horses from sufering, keeps the ground free for other animals that need to be barried, keeps people fed that is just to name a few of the Pros.
Cons- horses are usualy in extreme pain from riding in the trailer with a hole bunch of other horses and getting trampled, they are extremly scared when they arive, the babys have no chance at life, they freak out and usualy fall in the kill box because its so slipery, they arent fed and watered properly,
thoughs are a few of the cons, but there are a lot more to both.
and a lot of the time the killbuyers are so ignorant that they just say it doesnt bother them they are only horses and they get part of the profit.
and I have done a school asinment with waying out pros and cons and for every pro that we agree with we put on a little block (this could be about any thing that had good and bad) and went down both lists until there wasnt any more that we agreed with and for me the pro side had NO chance against the con.

I hate it. Horses don't deserve to be treated like that and then slaughtered. I agree with everything that JJ said.

While I'm not crazy about it, I'm for it. I dont like the ones that torture them and all that but theres no way we would have the space for all the horses. People (not saying you guys) seem to think that the horses will just get to run free and be wild but we dont have the space. A lot of the horses would starve to death. If we had horses running wild everywhere, they would likely become wild game! Maybe it wouldn't be legal to hunt them but that wouldn't stop people from doing it if they wanted to.
I dont think that perfectly good horses that could have a decent future should be slaughtered but every horse can't be saved, we can't even feed all the people in the country, we dont need horse destroying crops and taking up space we desperatly need.

I can see what you mean, but the thought of killing horses makes me sick.

yes I do agree with that part of not letting the horses starve but I still dont agree with it.
