In different countries, horse meat is considered a delicacy. It is very expensive, too. Most people send their horse to slaughter because it is the easiest thing to do, or they do it accidentally. They sell the horse to a dealer without knowing it and BAM! their horse is dead. Slaughter houses need to go about killing the animals in a more humane way. They drive a bolt into the horse's skull to break it, but this process rarely kills the horses. Instead, the horses are hung upside down by their heel, and bled to death. It is terribly cruel.
