I'm so shocked out of left feild We legalized horse slaughter for human consumption! The title of the article is completely misleading but it's the point. Haven't these losers seen Hidalgo!?:rolleyes: Wyoming state representative Sue Wallis and her pro-slaughter group estimate that between 120,000 and 200,000 horses will be killed for human consumption per year and that Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Georgia and Missouri, are considering opening slaughter plants.

What?!! I hadn't heard anything about this. That is so gross! I will not be eating horse meat! |
I just read this... I think lines are being crossed that shouldn't be. What is going to be next, dog meat? |
I, for one, would not eat horse meat. I am meat skeevy anyways. I could not raise my own chickens to eat, as many people here are starting to do now. I would name them all, get attached and couldn't eat them. LOL I am saddened & horrified at the state of our world. So many turning into insensitive, selfish fools... money rules. Why not hit up overpaid sports players and actors/actresses to create horse sanctuaries ... go where the money is. It blows my mind how much baseball players get paid. Ridiculous. Someday, maybe, some of the ridiculously rich will actually help their OWN country and its citizens who are suffering now too. |

I can say , I don't eat out allot, I just dont like too, since I'm retired. But if I do I will stay away fr any rest that would serve horse meat. !!!! bark@ulater!!!! manina,miley,max,reirei,andrudy |
we shot ourselves in the foot. they think it'll bring back a 65 million industry but they forget that the government has to pay now to regulate the industry and make sure it's not cruel slaughtering done. which sounds like it always is a pretty cruel industry. even though i'm farm and ag minded, i just don't see a point to eating or slaughtering horses. i don't think they were bred for eating, they are thick and tough muscled animals for power work not tender like a grazing cow. just icky and sad and i couldn't eat a horse. they are too pretty and majestic and too companion pet animal for me. not to mention all the tax dollers we will pay to fund the government having to regulate everything. |

It's disgusting to me. I don't know if people are aware or not, but old and unwanted horses have been being trucked to Mexico's slaughtering houses. |
I am an AVID horse owner, lover, rider...and I SUPPORT slaughter. I would rather have plants opened in the US then trucking them thousands of miles, only to be left in pens that are so crammed with horses that are so skinny and unhealthy that it is just miserable. The horse market has TANKED since slaughter in the US was banned, and hopefully it will bring the market up and help prevent backyard breeders from breeding oh joe shmoe's handsome 3 legged stallion to sally mally's purdy girly horse.... I do hope the US regulates the way we slaughter however, I'd like to see it be a bit more humane. I myself would never eat horse mean, just doesn't seem like anything I'd want to do. Given all the meds we give our horses, Bute, Ace, Banamine....ect.. I wouldn't want to have that stuff in my meat. |

This deeply troubled me also now I only eat local meats that I can drive & see the farm-my auntie knows (old dairy farmer) or certified organic, non-hormone free ranging animals-same way with my eggs, milk, cheese etc. I was mainly shocked at the research on the hormones we give cows & how it is affecting our boys...scarey.:eek::thumbdown |
I don't have a problem with the eating of horses... Eastern Indians are probably equally appalled that we eat cows. Pigs are one of the most intelligent animals on the planet and we love our bacon, but Muslim and Orthodox Jews don't get it. It is true that the way they have been transported to Mexico is horrible. The meat is considered a delicacy in some european countries. Slaughtering them here, humanely and shipping just the meat is something that needs to be addressed. It is my understanding that this new law cannot be implemented until there is funding for Inspectors for horse slaughterhouses and at this time that funding is not going to happen. It appears possible that the passing of this law is not going to come to anything. |
hmm...why I post stuff on YT...people's responses make me reevaluate my opinins and why I feel a certain way towards things. I'm torn on this for all the reasons Nana911 said and then again I'm like what next-in Korea, Hawaii, and other places 'dog' (not exactly Yorkies so be calm) are eaten so would we feel the same about that if it were to be the next meat? My step-grandparents (Italian immigrants) raised rabbits they use to say they were rabbits not bunnies-these were for eating not pets. |
Sick :( but I've pretty much given up eating meat all together. Slaughter houses are just awful anyways, I can't even begin to imagine how they're going to treat the horses. :( |
