you take your beloved horses to a slaughter house and pretend that they don’t know they are going to die? you don’t have the class to have them humanley put down by a vet? you think when they led them to the kill box they did not know ?that they did not try to run? What planet do you live on cause you sure don’t know about the reality of horse slaughter.

Choosing to bring an animal to your home is a ” for the life of the animal” humans should NEVER make the choic to kill an animal because they cannot “afford to feed them” if your horse was old and crippled, but served you well for many years, you owed it the dignity of a decent death!!!

I’m tired of hearing that a slaughter house is better than letting the animal starve to-death and that it cost too much to get the vet to euthanize and then dispose of it. Horses are expensive . . . people are ignorant . . .if you can’t afford to euthanize your pet than you have NO BUSINESS owning it to begin with.  Smarten up people . . .
