IIRC, all horse slaughterhouses in the US have been outlawed.
And there is no point in your worrying about what worries me about your worrying.
Spoken like someone who cannot even tell the difference between eating for survival and beating a horse to death for no reason. Sickening.
I had a Cow that I had tied to a fence while I went to get the Trailer to move her, that decided to break her own neck, I did not have a rifle or pistol with me so I dispatched her with my pocket knife (slit her throat), she was a pet, her name was Elfidelda, and I could not let her suffer anymore. As a Farmer I would not let an animal go to waste, I butchered her, since she was a family pet I traded her hanging carcass for a hanging carcass of like size and weight at the butcher shop. I had her hide tanned and it became a rug in my bedroom. Do you think “I am a Monster?”
TT
LOL.
It was his animal.
Have you ever killed a rat or eaten meat that was slaughtered?
And no, I’ve never killed a rat. But a rat and a horse are really not the same, are they? I don’t eat much meat either...but I’m not seeing your point. Do you think this guy was killing his horse so he could consume it?
Tenderizing...you’re doing it wrong.
Your view point here is as disgusting as the man who did this.
Look at all his posts in this thread. He has no problem with the horse being beaten to death.
Yes, a little known campaign was successfully initiated by Hollywood types to stop the slaughter and/or export of horses to places like Belgium, where people do have a taste for it, along with mayo on fries....
The ban has decimated the industry, simulataneously increasing US wild horse populations to an overpopulated condition causing environmental strain, while countries like Argentina have taken up the slack in exports to Europe.
Happened fairly recently, after 06, IIRC.
All in all, a lose/lose situation for the US, thanks to Hollywood supported Dems.
When I drop off a deer for butchering, I usually make sure it is dead first.
Can your friendly nieghborhood butcher kill the horse?
Eye for an eye comes to mind.
I’ve read this story several times and I don’t see how you could know which is the true motive for this guys actions. Post #33 makes a valid point!
It’s sad how many on this thread have missed the delightful irony in your simple query.
Instead, posters want the horse’s owner punished on the basis that they don’t LIKE what he did.
Sound downright obamian, doesn’t it?
It is an animal that was owned by someone.
It should be their decision, They had raised it and in the end, he let it be meat for his dogs (probably the same one that initially hurt it for which he contacted the police to have them kill, but it took them many hours to respond to such an unimportant request).
Get real. If you’ve ever not eaten all of the meat you had on your plate, you’ve contributed to the death of an animal for no reason other than to become trash you choose to throw away.
Some will others won’t. I would imagine it would depend on how much you paid him.
I can’t post here what I think of you. Thankfully others thing the same.
Converstion over.
I can’t tell if he’s serious or just trying to be outrageous.
He is serious, he just posted some more of the same to me.
Bascially if you own an animal you can do what ever you want to it.
