I love HSUS.

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.

well I'm happy I live in a state where it is illegal to slaughter horses.Well, not only is it illegal to slaughter them, but it is illegal to consume horse meat here meaning that if anyone was caught killing horses PERIOD, they would be arrested.

Because people like you got their noses in other's business, and now animals (horses) are going to completely inhumane slaughterhouses in Mexico. Bravo! Give yourself a hand!

And Nature Valley is a salad dressing factory or Granola bar factory I do believe.

So I can't have my horse put down? Or shoot it myself?

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.

I didn't have anything to do with that, thank you very much. And no, that is not the reason. They were being inhumanely slaughtered here when the slaughterhouses were open.

Natural 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.

I think you're as ignorant of the law as you are of spelling, grammar and animal rights. 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.

you really are one of those people that get really angry during debates huh? So what if I don't do my grammar just right.OMG, I'm not perfect!! What am I going to do now?! And yes, here it is illegal to consume your own horse. There is nothing wrong with california.

Buahaha!

I hope this thread dosen't get closed.. Because it is plumb interesting.

Too bad.Damn I can't have a good debate on here without anyone burning me in some way.
