How many horses are slaughtered each year?

Answer 1

Horse meat is eaten in a number of countries in Europe and Asia. The British newspaper The Daily Mail estimates that 100,000 horses are transported annually into and around the European Union for consumption.

Horse meat is considered a taboo food in many English-speaking countries (including the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and others), in Brazil, in India, as well as among the Romani people and under Jewish dietary laws. In countries and cultures where horses are commonly regarded as companion animals, the idea of consuming horse meat may be particularly repugnant.

Answer 2

Until 2007 when horse slaughter was banned in the United States, the U.S. slaughtered tens of thousands of horses every year, of which many were ex-racehorses. Now these horses are sent to Mexico and Canada for slaughter.

In the UK around 420 horses are raced to death every year. About 38 per cent die on racecourses, while the others are destroyed as a result of training injuries, or are killed because they are no longer commercially viable.
