Hope it works for you this time. Not sure if you are interested in not. There have been some good discussions going on about it. Some for, some against. All respectful. : )

Well, on principle I'm against horse slaughter, particularly for something like human consumption in France. Let them grow their own. Perhaps in Texas it's feasible lame or unwanted horses would just be 'turned loose', but not here. It's my belief that if a horse is aged or unusable, humane euthanasia is one of the responsibilities of horse ownership, like it is with our dogs. Sending to slaughter is in no way a humane end, merely a cheap one for the owner, and they can't fool me by telling me otherwise :~D

Where is the forum where it's being discussed?
