What were they thinking....it is just plain wrong to use horses for meat, no matter what country would be using it.
I hole hartely agree that horse slatter should not be allowed. Horses have proven to be the backbone of america, carrying solders into battle to make this country what it is today. Helped farmers feed america by plowing fields, pulling doctor carriages, moving settlers to new territories etc. HORSES in my opinion should be americas symble not the eagle!!!! What has the eagle done for america? Has he fought In battles and gave up his life for us? Pulled plows to help farmers grow food? ETC!!!! Instead after giving their ALL, they are thrown away like a useless commodity. AMERICA should rethink about this and find a better solution to help these majestic animals that have done so much for this country. They give their ALL every day in every deciplin. They deserve a better life after all they give.NOT SENT TO A HORRIBLE DEATH!!!!
I agree with NANCY and PKL. Horse slaughter should be stopped. Once and for all! It is sickening that anyone would "support" the murdering and killing of horses, whether inhumanly of "humanly" (there is no such thing as killing an animal humanly). The government if finally opening their eyes some to what is going on behind the curtains. NANCY is totally true about how the HORSE should be America's symbol. NOT the EAGLE. 'Cause what has the EAGLE ever done for us??
Horse Slaughter is a corrupt, disgusting venture for anyone who supports it they are just intersted in MONEY period, the the horse most certainly not!! I am so thankful that this was added to the budget now if it will pass with out some sneaky corrupt politian some how erasing it like before?? BUT we need to pass H.R. 1094 this ALL has to stop HOW can our GOV>>> turn a blinds eye year after year to all of our horses being taken across the border and especially in light of the horsemeat scandle... You know last year was the highest year in our horses going across the border ever, makes you wonder does it not!!! We need to get this Bill passed we really do have this stopped once and for all!! THEN and only then maybe the Breeders will be more responsible and the backyard owners too!!!!
Vehemently opposed to horse slaughter. Anyone who has ever owned a horse knows this animal has a heart & a soul. And those who haven't have admired this majestic animals beauty. It's a disgrace as is the slaughter & displacement of the wild horses in the west. All for money. Cattle owners. Disgusting. Where is the humanity?
Budgets come and go, and zero funding can come and go. What will stop the slaughter of US horses? Passing the federal legislation banning horse slaughter for human consumption. Tell your US Congressman and two US Senators to support and cosponsor S.541 & HR.1094 now, the SAFE Act. Find your state, find your elected members in DC: http://votesmart.org/officials/NA/C/national-congressional#.UWhxAaKG2So Know that some 160,000 US horses shipped to slaughter in Mexican and Canadian plants last year. Passing this legislation would prevent that bulk transport.
What is the difference between Horse slaughter and beef Slaughter? I have horses and love my horses. i would support the slaughter of horses as long as it is done human way like cattle are now. Must be alot of veggie eatten people in this world.
Really a horse has a heart and soul......please do not tell OBUMMER..he will get them a voter reg card!!! Pro HOrse Processing and DAMM PROUD OF IT! You bleeding hearts need to get a friggin life....it is the best meat you can eat
I've seen enough about horse slaughter to decide for myself that I 100% think its time to stop it. I think its truly disgusting. My horse will be with me til the end.
