Horse Slaughter

Slaughter is for food production. It is a tightly regulated industry and not the place to send "unwanted" pigs, sheep, cows or horses.

Quote from a Kill Buyer: “I mop up. I clean up the mess left by morons who just have to breed their mare. A few years later no one wants the baby anymore, so I come in to mop up. How come you never write about those morons who just have to breed their mare? Every spring I send dozens of mares and new foals to the meat plant. And every spring there are idiots breeding more babies. All of your do right for horses cause they built America is crap. The only way to do right for horses is to stop breeding them."
