Who will feed all the horses that are being sent to slaughter? Will all of you offer to donate a year’s worth of hay to anyone in your town or a rescue? We have horses and have gone without to feed them. I love them, I take care of them, and they get what they need. I got laid off my job 3 years ago and cannot find a decent job; the one I took is very part time, pays less than I made 20 years ago, but gives me a discount on the feed I so desperately need. Have I tried to sell them? Yes. But they are beloved, and I will not sell them to known kill buyers or dealers that I know will, nor will I sell them to bad homes. There are MANY people in the same – or worse spot we are. So before you start preaching – maybe you should start shouting for HUMANE SLAUGHTER or put your money up front and support the rescues that are bursting at the seams. We are trying – all of us. We support each other, we help with rescue, we’ve pastured other’s animals when we could. We’ve gone into debt, maxed our credit, sold everything we own. BTW – can’t even refinance, because we haven’t missed a payment. Go figure.
So – do you think that closing the USA slaughter to horses helped or hurt? Should we have spent more money/resources/energy working towards HUMANE SLAUGHTER? You DO realize that now the horses are still shipped around the country, then shipped into Canada, Mexico, and even Japan?
I have a radio show, Pets, Rescue, Etc on internetradioamerica and would love to spend an hour on this. Anyone game?

Cheryl, I can appreciate there are those who are in financial straits. However, there is no such thing as humane slaughter. If you cannot feed others, maybe you cannot feed yourself, and maybe you should humanely slaughter yourself. Sounds awful, doesn’t it? Well, let’s take all those who cannot feed others, including human and non-human animals, the homeless, those in homes, shelters, hospices. Let’s kill them all! All of them – whether young, old, fit, handicapped, formally financially stable, poor, destitute, formally rich, helpless: kill them all! Kill them humanely, though, we’ll get rid of them all so that others can finally feel better about their own lives.
Yeah, thought you’d think otherwise …
As for me putting my money where my mouth is to feed them – what about those who are responsible for them? I feed cats – a lot of them, and I don’t kill any of them. Why? Because if I don’t believe in killing people who are homeless, I don’t believe in killing animals. Speciesism is dangerous, as is the “humanely killed” moniker.
Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and start killing your family off, one by one, humanely …
I know it sounds shocking, but it is just as shocking for animals.
Oh, and I don’t agree with shipping them to other countries to be slaughtered either. Maybe they should be sterilized, and maybe there should be NO MORE RACING! Illegalize animals for racing, testing (premarin), and any other forced breeding. Those numbers will go down, guaranteed.

And so, your proposal is??? Turn them loose to fend for themselves as many all over the country are doing with not only horses, but dogs, cats, parrots, llamas, alpacas, mules, etc?
And can’t slaughter be humane? Just because one kills/eats an animal doen’t mean one must terrify it first. And before you go all vegetarian/vegan on me, we don’t eat animals, either.
Specieism may be dangerous, but no less so than trying to put humans and other animals on equal ground.
By the way, it IS possible to disagree without being disagreeable.

No, slaughter cannot be humane. It’s an oxymoron, I don’t understand how that can be so difficult to accept. When is taking the life of a being humane? Just because you stun an animal it’s okay to kill him/her? And by the way, slaughter numbers negate stunning. Many animals are skinned or dismembered while still conscious. Is that humane? If you cannot guarantee a painless, unknowing death, what do you do?
I am vegan, and my proposal is to not kill, Use those racing dollars and premarin subsidies to feed those whose “owners” are incapable of doing so themselves. Killing should never be the answer.

Strawman arguments by opponents means I automatically win if this was a debate. You should look it up – do some research – and see how your position is really not a position at all – you bitch and moan yet offer nothing except insults and immaturity.
Again, though, killing is inherently immoral regardless of man’s law and circumstances. I don’t cause horse suffering, the people who auction them off for the slaughterhouse are the ones who do. The people who breed them in high numbers for sports and testing are the ones. The family who cannot take care of its horse is the one, too.
If you are not willing to sacrifice yourself, then you should be repulsed by even the notion of slaughtering an animal. It’s despicable. Grow the fuck up.

Every day in countries around the world, animals are fighting for their lives. They are enslaved, beaten and kept in chains to make them perform. They are mutilated and confined to tiny cages so that we can kill them and eat them. They are burned, blinded, poisoned, and cut up alive in the name of “science”. They are also electrocuted, strangeld and skinned alive, so that people can parade in their coats; and worse.
Animals around the globe are counting on compassionate people like you to give them a voice and be their “heroes” by learning about the issues they face and taking action. Each of us have the power to save animals from nighmarish suffering and best of all; it’s easier than you might think.
The time has come Ladies and Gentlemen, to stop thinking of animal rights as distracting or less deserving of our time and energy than other struggles for social justice. As Martin Luther King, Jr., said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”. All oppression, prejudice, violence, and curelty are wrong and must be rejected no matter how novel the idea or how inconvenient the task.
For those who think that we will never be able to achieve the dream of liberation from oppression, not just for human beings, but for all beings, regardless of race or gender or species, I have just three words for all of you: YES, WE, CAN. Thank You!
