Horse slaughter is actually supported by several horse breed associations and the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association). And I used to be a horse owner (had to euthanize her in September...she was 29) and I support REGULATED slaughter.
But this debate seems to be going into a whole different direction. Maybe me and Sappp missed something because we're not American?
(from the free dictionary link)
And I really don't care about the other definition of slaughter. Why do you need horse meat? Do you know what a grocery store is? You know, the place where you buy food! Without torturing it! I know shocking that there is such a place!
Humanely slaughtered, such as done with cows or sheep, can include the use of carbonmonoxide to make the animal unconscious or the use of a bolt stunner to make the animal unconscious before they are killed.
I wonder if you are also against the slaughter of cows, sheep, goats etc.
Now in saying all that horse slaughter is a necessary evil just like angria said!
I agree with Sapp many cultures eat horses but it depends on where you come from. I would never eat horse but I am fine with people doing it. I eat every other type of meat.
Italiangirl976 so what do you say we do with the horses that would normally go to slaughter houses? Shutting down slaughter houses kills the horse market now horses are sold much cheaper and its harder to sell horses. There is no where for people to take horses when they are old and cant take care of them. Now horses are starving and suffering even worse. They even get sent to Mexico and Canada. Have you watch the video of how they slaughter horses in Mexico? We did it nicer when they were in the US. Not saying that was the way to do it. We need to legalize horse slaughter and have regulations on it just like we do with everything else.
Also you said go to the grocery store and buy food. Do you relies that food comes from a meat packing plant. Hmm what do you think they do there??? Slaughter beef!
Like with any animal that is used for comsumption I am in favour of humane slaughtering.
Why do I need horse meat? I do not need it any more then I need beef, lamb or chicken. But in the Netherlands eating horse if quite normal, though you'll not eat it every day because it is a little bit more expensive. You'll not find it in the supermarkter, but butchers sell it.
If the meat was used (even if it was shipped out) and it was done humanely, then I'd feel a little differently. I'd still be angry, but at least there was some purpose.
I'm not really going both ways, as I don't agree with the way it's currently done here in the U.S.
