I don't see what the big deal is. Horses are not used for transportation anymore and are not prevalent as pets. Should they be accorded more rights than, say, pigs?

are not prevalent as petsI can see you've NEVER had a horse you've loved like a cat or dog. They are some of the finest pets ever.

that's the thing, they shouldn't be, and both should be able to be slaughtered for meat.
The thing is, that folks like PETA see this as an 'in' to stopping meat consumption. After all if they can convince americans to stop slaughtering Horses for consumption, then their next step would be to sue somewhere and make that law apply to cows, pigs and chickens...

The history of man and horse goes back thousands of years. The horse has transported us, tilled our soil, harvested crops, carried us into battle, been a companion; basically every thing we've asked the horse to do he's done, even if reluctantly.
We owe Horses a better legacy than the slaughterhouse.
