In recent news it says that congress is going to be lifting the ban on horse slaughter. I am one who is against horse slaughter and I am very happy that it is currently illegal. I understand that some people will buy INNOCENT horses from auction and sell them to slaughter houses in Canada. I think that's wrong too.
I understand when it is better to put an animal down than to let them live a miserable life, but the horses that are going to slaughter houses are INNOCENT. They did nothing. How would you feel if nobody wanted you and suddenly you were on death row, about to die when you did absolutly nothing to deserve it.
Some people are for the congress lifting the ban because there is a high population of horses, but that could be prevented. Not every mare should breed and geld your stallions. I think slaughter houses should take older horses or horses that have to be put down anyways and let them die peacefully. That is the ONLY way I see slaughter houses as a good thing.
When i think of the word "slaughter" I dont think of good things. It's an ugly word. You cant describe something as "slaughtered" and make it be a good thing. I dont think horses should be SLAUGHTERED. They are seen as a little girl's wish. A beautiful, free creature. Horses dont deserve to die the way they die in slaughter houses. I am AGAINST congress for trying to lift the ban on horse slaughter.
