    It is stupid for Americans to say "we don't eat our horses" yet sell them for somebody else to eat.
    That's why the horse slaughter ban makes absolutely no sense to me. If we are so worked up about horses being slaughtered why is it still legal to send them to slaughter in other countries. It's a worthless waste of time law.

    As I said before, if our country isn't willing to protect horses against abuse, their only way out is slaughter. I'm not pro slaughter, but if the authorities are unwilling to step up and take some action I would rather them be slaughtered than die a slow horrible death from starvation or infection.

    If I called the authorities on a cat or dog that looked like the horses I've called about, the police would be out there in a heart beat. If horses don't have the dignity to be protected from abuse/neglect like cats and dogs, why are they protected from slaughter like cats and dogs? It's a double edged sword.
