It's not the issue that is conservative. Her politics are conservative. And it's not the eating of a horse that is the problem. It's the way they are treated that is so reprehensible. A "killer" will buy a horse at an auction that has been around people their entire life. They will pack them into an overcrowded trailer and drive for days without food or water to the slaughter house. They are very frightened and are aware of the impending and brutal slaughter because they can see and hear the horses in front of them. These are intelligent animals that have served humans and they don't deserve to be treaded this way. This is very different front cattle.
I agree, BB. It's the same reason I refuse to eat veal. God put us in charge of His creation but to use it, not abuse it.
Now that's a decent argument.
I agree with you 100000%.
You are right on the mark.
Some of the "Conservatives" on this board should grow a heart.
I agree. If anything, there should be a $1,000 bounty on the killers, the drivers and the buyers. $10,000 on the sellers.
I have no feelings about butchering horses one way or the other but I think there are laws about how long animals can be transported before they must be unloaded & watered.
Horses are not intelligent they are super stupid. They are frightned when transported because they are out of their familiar zone, not because they have any knowledge about what is going to happen to them.
