Save The Horses!
The horse is our friend, why must he die?
"The people" want horse slaughter stopped!
Did you know that millions of American horses are sent to slaughter? These wonderful creatures are sent to become 'gourmet' meat in other countries!
And sadly, as you read this, the multi-million dollar horse
slaughter industry and their "puppets" are mounting a
counter-campaign effort to "regulate" horse slaughter. After
finally being forced out of secrecy, they hope to confuse voters
with ludicrous terms like "humane horse slaughter."
The real issue is that Americans do not eat their horses. Horses
are companion animals. We would no more allow the
"regulation" of the slaughter and export of our dogs and cats to
countries where their meat is eaten than we should our horses.
The horrors of the auction, feed lot, transport, and slaughter
house need to be brought to the public's attention.
THE TERRORS OF HORSE SLAUGHTER
Before shipping horses to slaughter houses, horses are placed into
over-crowded holding pens many times standing in disease
infested muck. Often sick, the horses are crammed into
double-decked cattle trucks. Without sufficient room to hold their
heads upright, they travel for 36 hours through summer heat or
brutal winter cold without stopping for rest, food or water.
At the slaughter house, the horse is electrically prodded into the
"kill box" to be repeatedly bludgeoned in the skull by a dead-bolt
gun with a four-inch nail. Alive, and often conscious, the horse is
then shackled by a rear leg, hoisted into the air, its throat slit
and body dismembered.
No horse is spared this ordeal. These hungry, dehydrated,
fatigued and terrified horses include not only the old, sick, blind
and crippled, but the young and healthy, our children's pets,
mares with helpless foals standing at their side, and our wild
mustangs.
Again, this abuse is being inflicted upon an animal that has
never historically been considered a food animal, but rather a
working partner and friend to man. An animal used primarily for
pleasure, recreation and sport.
We know you won't let the horses down. The lies of the horse
slaughterers can't stand up to the truth.
