I agree with your post. I also agree with horse slaughter because there just are not the resources to feed every horse that is no longer useful to the end of it's natural life. It's interesting to go on horse forums and see people talking about forever homing horses. They talk about placing all these horses and the next post is about how hard it is to sell their breeding stock! It's another example of political correct decisions causing more harm than good. There are now horses sufferrering for months and years because there is no horse slaughter. Of couse PETA doesn't run around the country trying to video the lame thin horse subsisting in bad conditions.It seems to me that this is a decsion that causes more suffering to horses but allows the do gooders to run around feeling better about themselves.herfluvr said:Here is a horse person's point of view. Before I put it out there, please understand I believe a range horse to be one of the heartiest animals to serve a cowboy and part of that is because they are raised on the range. I believe in horse slaughter and our family has recently gotten out of breeding business after 40+ years so I am not a bleeding heart or some yahoo and am lucky enough to call some of the successful breeders in the horse biz friends.
