Horse slaughter is illegal everywhere in America, unless you immediately package and export the meat outside the country.
Any state in the USA could legally slaughter horses at one time. Horses were slaughtered for many years and their meat used in the pet food industry. Technically horse slaughter was not made illegal, The inspection of slaughtered horses by USDA veterinarians was defunded by the federal government.
Many older horses are being put to sleep. But many others are transported by cattle trucks to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. The Horse Slaughter market hasn't ever actually been fully closed the funding for horse meat inspection was cut off but many continued to do by paying a private inspector.

Yes, people do eat horses. In the United states it is considered illegal to slaughter horses for human consumption, but in many countries horse meat is considered no different than cow meat.
There are many ways, including big cats(panthers for 1), horse slaughter houses too just to begin with
Yes, unfortunately. Many slaughterhouses sell it to other countries- for a huge profit.
You can help prevent horse slaughter by signing petitions. There are links available at many horse websites. The petitions let people 'in charge' know that the American public dislike slaughtering horses and they want it stopped completely.
Horse slaughter is not illegal. What became illegal (unfortunately) was the harvest of wild mustangs in Nevada and other states where these feral beasts destroy the environment and threaten endangered native species. These animals were brought over by the Spaniards hundreds of years ago, and should be hunted down and sold for dog food, the way they used to be hunted.
There are many sites available, you can simply Google 'Stop Horse Slaughter' and take your pick of sites. Horse Slaughter in most places is cruel and having it around gives breeders an 'out' for overproducing too many foals, like the American Quarter Horse Association. They over breed on an appalling scale. The best way to 'dispose' of unwanted horses is to simply have them put to sleep and if you have no where to bury the body or money to cremate it you can have the body hauled off or donate it to a veterinarian college for science.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), federally inspected slaughter and processing plants numbered 930 in 1998
