There are reasons you might consider selling meat from race horses, show horses and pets as cruelty to the humans that eat itcThis is because most everyone in the horse meat industry is well aware of the fact that the horses being slaughtered have unknown histories.

As if every cow has an guarantee tag/sarc.

As a farming family we witness these loving pet owners aren't so fond of spending hundreds of dollars every week on these "hay burners" when the price of hay, grain goes up.

And with a willingly blind eye, sell, give away or abandon these creatures when the love/novelty wears off.

Its painful to see the hypocrisy....

Horses off the track may have Bute, Salix, and or other medications in their systems when they’re processed.

We farm and own horses.

Yep, a lot of people don’t calculate that it costs a certain amount to buy the horse but then, it keeps eating whether it gets ridden or not.

Horse slaughter plants serve a sad purpose. Some horses just don’t have a future. I would rather they ride a few hours to a well-regulated US plant rather than get trucked for days out of the country.
