Oh, good! I fully support horse slaughter. Quite a few horses that I have ridden are rescue horses, and the thing is, in the horse world, there is more supply than demand. I've seen horses abandoned. And for most of these horses there are no 'second chances' because very few people have the time or resources to care for them. Slaughter is a much better option than to be in a pasture all year with no water or food, or to be in a stall, wallowing in manure. If, you're against slaughter, go to the backyard breeders, the race horse breeders. That's the only thing I have to say.

What is wrong with you! There being butchered for there meat! It makes you just as sick as Obama!!!! Or even more! There's no use for that animal!!! The way I see it who ever believes slaughter is best is cruel!!! What would you think if you were shoved on a trailer; squashed by other people, and gutted open, possibly alive, and pregnant! Yes! That's what will happen! And you think its more Humane! Wrongo! You tell me that right now!!!! This country was based on the back of the horse. They should be respected! It makes me sick!!! I sorry on what I said was a bit graphic, but that's what will happen!

I like Obama, and this is the internet. I haven't seen it on Good Morning America or any official news broadcast yet, so I think it's fake. If it's true, though, that's sad and stupid. It shouldn't be legalized. For the time being, though, I don't think it's real.

I support HS to a sense. The man I work for lives in Norco. He and a friend went down to a creek to ride and when they came back two horses were hitched to his trailer with a note saying "Please feed us." To many horses are being abandoned right now because people are having to choose between feeding their family or buying horse feed and people just don't have that money and others don't even have money to buy them from sellers. To the horse lover, horse slaughter is a horrible thought, but think about it; As in the article it says it would be kinder to euthanize the animal. Bull. Instead of rotting in the ground for the worms, the horse is going to feed somebody. What the highest honor in the world to be useful in two different ways, as a companion and to help keep somebody alive. What I don't agree with is how the slaughter is done. Now that has to change! [For all animals, just not horses] Once it is changed to a way that the animal dies with little to no pain I will be pleased and can put my fears to rest. I personally will never eat horse meat, but other wise its no different than a chicken or cow.

Guys, this is fake. I asked my dad about it and he said Obama made it ILLEGAL! Apparently there were 3 plants in America slaughtering horses who were going to be put down anyway and selling it to Europe and such. But, due to city goers and those who don't own horses and don't see how bad it can get as Keely said, he un-legalized it. Dumb thing to do. Now horses have to be sent to Canada and other places, get treated worse, and still get killed. Quite retarded. Now I would never eat a horse, and don't like the idea of slaughtering them, but at least some were being put to rest. I've never liked Obama, never will, and this only makes my opinion of him lower, but these articles have it wrong. Now quite frankly, as long as we're talking about mistreated, stray animals, dogs go through the same thing. But we don't eat them because their "mans best friend". Of course I don't want to eat them though, I only eat cows, chickens, fish, and once had alligator (or crocodile, I never can remember). But if your for horse slaughter, then why not dog slaughter? Their condition as a whole is worse. But I might just be saying this because I'm not a dog person. Oh and guys, please leave Keely alone. She is entitled to her own opinion as much as us, so please stop being rude to her! Anywho, calm your horses, they're not being slaughtered, though it would be better if they were -_-.

stolen horses suffer too. people steal horses just to make money
people can get very sick from eating horse meat because of vaccinations and other kinds if medicines that were injected to horses
Plus heath officials recommend not eating horse meat.

Oh no it isn't ....I know its not fake because PETA has it on their website, look: www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2011/12/01/horse-slaughter-to-start-again-in-us.aspx and I like to know who said it was fake! PETA are for the animals, you know. And the people who give you the news, such as CBS are for Obama, and will cover him up! So they won't say anything.... And it WAS Illegal Stormy! Way before he got into office!!! Its mainly all for money, and there's no honor in it thundersrider especially if you know what I know! If I would put the video on here that I had watched you would be sick to your stomach! Techinolly that's probably what I'll do....

Seriously Kona?! That had nothing to do with what I said, and yes I've seen the videos to and its horrible, cruel, and shows just how disgusting the human being is for treating an animal so badly just because we're going to eat it. But that's why if you cared to read my last paragraph I clearly stated I do not support ANY animal being slaughtered like a vegetable.
