Actually, slaughter was stopped because the Federal Government defunded USDA inspections for slaughteredhorses. Sadly, the plight of horses sent to Mexico for slaughter is even worse than it was in the USA. It is illegal to sell horse meat for human consumption, It is not illegal to eat horse meat if a horse owner/cares to consume their own animals.
Horse slaughter is currently legal in the USA
Yes, It has been banned to Slaughter Horses in the U.S
Since 2006 after Congress banned horse slaughter in the United States all horse slaughter plants have closed. But these horses that were once killed in the US are now shipped to other countries such as Mexico.
Horse slaughter plants no longer in use in the US but still in Canada and Mexico as far as i know
I'm not sure. But just for the record, I love your question! If I were a celebrity, I would be, too. My favorite part of the question is how you said "Mexican" instead of just horse slaughter. I am against Mexican horse slaughter, but I support humane slaughter in the US. So I call myself a slaughter-supporter, because I support horse slaughter here in the US. Sorry if this didn't help. Thanks, Jaybrianna.
I personnally HATE Horse Slaughter! I am a HUGE Horse Lover and wish I could beat (or kill) all the people who intend to kill a horse. But... other people dont think the way I do. People slaughter horses because.... 1. They may think the horse is useless. 2. They get money from the meat. 3. It was old. 4. It injured somone. And the worse one yet..... 5. For no reason. Help the World Stop The Slaughter!
The breed of horse that is slaughtered most is the American Quarter Horse. This horse also happens to be the horse that is most commonly over-bred. We should stop massacring the American Quarter Horse.
It depends on where you're asking about. Now, in the US, most horses are humanely euthanized or at least are taken care of before the time of their death. Pro-horse slaughter!
No. It is illegal to slaughter a horse in the united states. It is a horrible thing in my eyes.
Yes, pro does mean that you are for. If you are against something it would be anti or con.
Yes and No. Yes because if we stay on our toes and keep an eye on horse owners (I am one...) we can stop. No because there is lots of people out there who don't care about horses. There is just to many. I am 12, and when I grow up, I plan to start a Nation Wide Biz, that will collect 2-3 people to work for me in each town to do surprise inspections on horse owners once a month. (& to stop horse slaughter) [I also want to be a VET.......]
A horse slaughter plant is a place where mean people kill healthy, old, or injured horses for food or money.THEY_ARE_SO_CRUEL!">THEY ARE SO CRUEL!Horse slaughter is not illegal, although it should be. A lot of people are against horse slaughter, including me.Sometimes good people save the horses by adopting them so they can have a great life. If they don't get adopted..... I think you would know what happens to them.@the guy above:I am against horse slaughter too.
