We raised Quarter Horses for 30 years. I don’t think I could carve one up and eat it, but in the 80’s we sold some at auction, knowing they went to slaughter. We now have an old brood mare, and I’d rather auction her than call the meat wagon or bury her. Recycling meat into dogfood doesn’t bother me. Walmart takes all their outdated deli food and turns it into dogfood, why can’t we process our nags and feed our dogs.
I grew up with horses and agree with you.
