Prior to the suspension of inspection for horse slaughter plants in the US in 2007, horses were killed by first stunning the animal so that it was rendered insensible to pain immediately after the stunning then was bled out through severing the jugular veins and carotid arteries in the neck. This is still the method used in Canada and the regulated slaughter houses in Mexico.

For a variety of reasons, including for meat (as horse meat is a delicacy in France and Belgium), illness or severe injury, or a chronic disease that is untreatable. Sadly too, there are a few humans that kill horses through neglect and abuse.

Some people like to make money off of horses by buying them for cheap and then selling them to a slaughter house for more money than what they bought the horse.
