I'm Italian, and here, traditionally, people eat horse meat. Still, I don't understand how they can. I agree, it's like eating dogs, as horses are so intelligent! I had this discussion few days ago. In a tv cooking show, someone presented a horse meat stew, but one of the judges got scandalized and refused to eat! And I do agree with what is said about organized crime. It is probably true.
Don't forget rabbits. No regulations on slaughter in the US, and they're no different from cats and dogs and horses when it comes to how easily they can become pets that love and trust us. The rabbit meat industry tries to claim that the New Zealand white rabbits (with red eyes many find off-putting) are "less intelligent" and are "not pets" but they are actually no less intelligent and emotional than any other breed, they make just as loving pets. I'm no vegan or anything, but when slaughter practices are unregulated (like with the dogs in Asia, rabbits and chickens in the US, etc.) or under-monitored (horses in the US; and clearly Europe as well) the level of systemic cruelty just skyrockets and it's unconscionable.
While this IS disgusting, humans who breed animals even for the best of intentions and reasons, the supply ALWAYS overshoots the Demands! I feel guilty as an animal lover, pet owner to indirectly contribute to this horror! Animals need money and upkeep and it can be very expensive. For such reasons, the hapless 'extras' can land up in the worst situations... We all know how the pet shelters are overflowing...and the backyard breedings continue
Can you imagine being a horse like this. Your whole life you have been treated as a vehicle so someone can win a race, then when they consider you retired they sent you to the slaugtherhouse like you were never there. Awful.
Putting in a CCTV to the slaughter house where they unload the horses would be where we could see how many and which horses are getting taken in. Ex race horses. Ex show horses and the like.
It’s so sad because a lot of these horses UK and USA are just unlucky… economy has made it very difficult to afford care and left people without much choice. By no means am I saying this is okay because it definitely isn’t!!!
breeding too many horses in the US, not just the racehorses, but small breeders too. If they had to keep them forever, there would be less breeding. Greed.
A lot of horses sold to slaughter in the US are at the point where they should be euthanized; the owners would rather just get the money from allowing their horse to suffer than pay the vet to do the right thing, and they have to know no-one else is going to buy a horse in that condition. It's true that for some people it's too expensive to afford a horse anymore...but honestly the conditions of slaughter/travel are well known enough no decent person should allow their horse to enter that system. It is greed. It's the idea that horses "owe" you for the costs of keeping them up while they were still able to work.
Until the demand is gone, it will always happen. It personally makes me nauseous to think of horse slaughter. It’s time for a shame campaign against those who eat the meat. Same with dogs and cats. These are domesticated animals for pets and recreation.
I can not understand why they need to smuggle Horses out of the UK...Europes Horse Meat Supplys are full ...Meat from Canada ans Mexico is plenty.... and in Polen, Bulgaria or Belgium and France People fatten up Draft Horses to 2000 Pounds to sell them to Italy etc...Approximatly for 3 Euros a Kilogramm...Disgusting these poor overweight Horses can barely stand in their Feet anymore...😢😢😢
There selling it as beef Which was stopped years ago and assistance was granted for support to keep such animals healthy rideable medicated to prevent this happening again as they lost the beef contract Sent support again actioned immediately AFFA angels never die nffn HMS council
The hell? Of course we have to stop it, so many innocent lives are being ended for nothing! They are causing more trouble themselves by slaughtering animals. Don’t you dare say that again.

Slaughtering horses is just heartbreaking to me. As well as cats and dogs being slaughtered in China for the same reasons.

Slaughtering any animal is completely unnecessary and disgusting. Not just horses, cats and dogs.. pigs, cows, chickens and fish suffer the same 🤷🏼♀️
Horrendous that thousands of horses are exported out of Canada to Europe and China this also needs to stop 🇨🇦
You need to stop this. How sad and cruel what is wrong with these people. Cold, hard-hearted people, greed greed greed. Please get this to stop. 😢😢
please, make it stop
Disgusting societal attitudes and practices of criminal elements in this world. Appalling.
I remember my mother crying. I asked why. We were driving by a horse slaughtering facility at night, driving home...

Wtf is this.. As a Brit I totally disagree with this animal slaughter. Wrong on all levels. Who eats horse meat these days.
I read somewhere that Queen Elizabeth's horses were sold after her passing. Is this true? Does anyone know who purchased them and where they are?

There are many rescues that will take surrenders. NEVER any reason to send them to slaughter!
Totally agree! People are not able to look after their own selves...the hapless creatures go first...
