People hurt horses for a variety of reasons. Some people do not know how to properly handle a horse and cannot control them so they will get rough and begin to abuse the horse physically. Other times people expect the horse to work like a machine and when the horse protests they will beat it or force it to continue working when the horse should be resting. There are many other forms of abuse but the two listed are typically the most commonly seen.

∙ 12y agoAs horrible as it is, people generally slaughter horses when they are too old or no longer useful to people, or if they can't afford to keep them and have trouble selling them on.
It's for many reasons but it's usually when they don't want the horse any more.
I live in a strange town and I've heard rumors about horses being killed for things like glue, or other strange purposes. Recently, a girl shot one my neighbor's horses and scattered its bones in a church nearby. One might point to ancient obsessions with seances or necromancy; then again, by the brutal and rather obvious way this thing was done, it was done by an idiot. I found its hoof and another unrecognizable bone in a rather obvious path while wandering today. It's strange the things you find when your'e not looking.
Anyway, I think it's sick. I don't understand why anyone would feel compelled to kill such a majestic creature unless, as stated above, it was used to abate an emergency.

horses seem to bring out the best in people because they are normally very gentle creatures. They teach people how to be calm and trusting and they love people and spending more time around hurt and abused horses makes people that are screwing around in life realize that their life isn't that bad and that some creatures have life a lot worse.
