well its illigal in uk (where i come from) but in america obama has allowed horse slaughter :(
No it is not illegal to export horses for slaughter.
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.
they are trying to change that in the united states and the only reason it is, is because foreign countries do it horses. :(
Horse and pony slaughter, referred to only as horse slaughter is when horses are slaughtered for human or animal consumption. In some countries horse meat is considered a delicacy and so horses are eaten. Some countries also allow horses to be processed and made into pet food.
Yes, It has been banned to Slaughter Horses in the U.S
The slaughter of horses became a problem when horses were replaced by cars and their worth was diminished in the eyes of humans.
To the slaughter house.
about 5 million
Horse slaughter is currently legal in the USA
I think that this is a very dumb question because horse abuse can RUIN horses and abuse is usually long term so they are suffering for a long time and slaughter is horrible because the usual hang the horses upside down and slit them down the middle or just shoot them in the head. If that isn't enough for you to know why its illegal then you are sick!!!
Unfortunately horses are still slaughtered for their meat.
It is now illegal to slaughter horses in the U.S., so they are shipped to Mexico.
