Very well said richard burch.

Give the horses a break. They are part of this nation’s heritage.

I think that there are certain animals we don’t eat in this country.


paisjpq you make a great point

In Puerto Rico trainers can have an unwanted animal euthanized at the track for something like 15 bucks.

WARNING - MY VENT

We must insist that we deal with our country's unwanted horses humanly. Not all can be saved but none of our horses should be slaughtered. As an American I get nauseous thinking about it. It's disgusting. I can't imagine what the people are like that slaughter horses for a living. Being brutally honest, I hope that those people go straight to hell one day.

We also need to get our arms around over breeding. That's part of the problem too. We produce way too many horses.

This is one hell of a topic and it turns my stomach to no end.
