I'm not going to through out names here like most of you are doing, but horse slaughter has only been around since the time of the wars and even then it started because the soldiers didn't have anything else to eat.
and when you say they are slaughtered because people choose to eat horse meat.You are wrong there.That is why there are no slaughter plants open in the US now.Why is that? Why do you think that Natural valley farms was closed due to the welfare of the animals?!
do the math. |

Bravo! Give yourself a hand! 
And Nature Valley is a salad dressing factory or Granola bar factory I do believe.

do the math. | You do realize that back in the Roman Empire they eat their horses as they traveled correct?? I will not get into all the details but if you really want to know the history of many of the early civilizations through out history you need to do some resurch. Humans have been eating horses since horses have been alive.
The reason there are no plants that slaughter horses is b/c in the US there is no need to eat horses and over time is has become illegal to sell horse meat. Since we in the US have so much open land and horses where needed to work the large ranch's it was more economical to use horses and eat cattle. |

Natur al valley farms was a cattle slaughter plant(whe the US slaughter plants closed down this is one of the places where horses were sent to be slaughtered) in Canada that was recently shut down because of the way they were treating the animals. | |

In California it is illegal to sell a horse for human consumption. It is not illegal to consume a horse that you own nor is it illegal to slaughter a horse for animal food.
By the way I'm glad you live in a state that the rest of the country is quickly learning to ignore. If California gets any more screwed up Mexico will be building a fence to keep you out. | |
