Strong Views

As you may know, I am in strong opposition to horse slaughter.  There are many reasons, but the main reason is that I feel the whole system is inhumane to horses.  Starting at the sale ring, the trucking, the feed lots & finally the slaughter plant.  I have done my research and can go toe to toe with anyone who is in favor of slaughter & I have yet to come across any pro-slaughter person who can talk facts.  They make up lots of rhetoric that is simply not true.  The whole thing is exasperating because of the lies that horse slaughter advocated are spewing.  At any rate, there are several really good sites that talk about the facts, if you are interested please let me know & I will share some with you.  I beg of you to know the facts before deciding whether you are for or against horse slaughter.  I remember one lady testifying last year who said how much she loved her 2 horses, but she knew that the slaughter horses were treated well & so she would not mind sending her beloved horse to slaughter.  Shame on the pro-slaughter people for lying to that poor woman.  At any rate, if you have any questions about horse slaughter, please respond to this post & I WILL get you the fact about your question.  If it is not that black & white, I will be honest with you...give you all the gray areas & let you decide.  I just felt the need to write this as I was just reading yet some more rhetoric from 2 fanatical pro-slaughter people who wrote a long essay full of falsehoods.  Believe what you want to believe, but speak & believe the truth, NOT lies.  By the way, the 2 people mentioned above are loudly promoting horse meat as the next red meat for Americans....That is a truth & from that truth you can decide what works for you.
