- I am simply writing this to let people no about horse slaughter! Its horrible and horses really do need help! please take time to read the rest of my profile and find out what really goes on in the world today!
- HOW ARE HORSES SLAUGHTERED??
- Horses are slaughtered by the use of the captive bolt, a four inch retractable nail. The horses are hit repeatedly in the forehead with the captive bolt which is supposed to render the horse unconscious. One hind leg is then shackled and the horse is lifted into the air upside down to have its throat cut and be bled out. Undercover investigations have shown that horses have been hoisted into the hair while still conscious. The terrified horses can smell the blood, can hear the horses in front of them being killed and see other horses hanging in the air. Horses shake violently in the knockbox from fear and try desparately to avoid the captive bolt, scrambling and falling on the blood and urine soaked floor of the knockbox.
- HOW MANY HORSES ARE SLAUGHTERED A YEAR??
- It is estimated that round about 230 million horses are slaughtered a year!!!!!
- WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH UNWANTED HORSES??
- There are horses right now being slaughtered that could be saved if their owners would simply take the responsibility to euthanise their unsound or unwanted horses.
- ARE THERE ANY LAWS TO PROTECT HORSES??
- Yes. Pennsylavania has a law that states it is illegal to offer for sale or sells any horse, which by reason of debility, disease or lameness, or for other cause, could not be worked or used without violating the laws against cruelty to animals, or leads, rides, drives or transports any such horse for any purpose, except that of conveying the horse to the nearest available appropriate facility for its humane keeping or destruction or for medical or surgical treatment.
- WHAT HORSES ARE SLAUGHTERED??
- Any horse that falls within the profit margin for slaughter. Horses of all ages and sex are slaughtered including pregnant mares and foals. Former racehorses, show horses, pleasure horses, carriage horses, Amish work and buggy horses, summer riding camp horses, police horses, former therapeutic and handicapped riding horses, lesson horses, rodeo horses, wild mustangs, broodmares, mares used in the production of Premarin and the foals that are the byproduct of the production, and companion horses all been purchased and sent to slaughter.

my opinion ...
I really do hate horse slaughter and really do not no how any body could hurt a horse, or any animal for that matter!! It is sick!! There are so many little kids or people that would love 2 have a horse out there that could save these horses, but as soon as slaughters get there eyes on a horse, they wont let no one have them! Why cant they just give them away 2 sumone who actually wants one, other than them being killed!! It really upsets me how there horses and ponies are killed, they have a long and painful death n its not fair!! please please help! donate a little bit of money or anything!!
