Attitude Jade Pochopsky (2)	Horese Jade Pochopsky (2)	Jon G. (28)	The Winter of my arrival, I made some little girl happy just to be able to pet me and hold me. Other horses could have done the same, but someone like you decided they only deserved death Krystal Franklin (8)
Often, terrified horses and ponies are crammed together and transported to slaughter in double-deck trucks designed for cattle and pigs. The truck ceilings are so low that the horses are not able to hold their heads in a normal, balanced position. Inappropriate floor surfaces lead to slips and falls, and sometimes even trampling. Some horses arrive at the slaughterhouse seriously injured or dead. Although transportation accidents have largely escaped public scrutiny, several tragic incidents involving collapsed upper floors and overturned double-deckers have caused human fatalities, as well as suffering and death for the horses Krystal Franklin (8)	Most horses destined for slaughter are sold at livestock auctions or sales. The cruelty of horse slaughter is not limited to the act of killing the animals. Horses bound for slaughter are shipped, frequently for long distances, in a manner that fails to accommodate their unique temperaments. They are usually not rested, fed, or watered during travel. Economics, not humane considerations, dictate the conditions, including crowding as many horses into trucks as possible. Krystal Franklin (8)	Horse meat is not eaten in the United States; it is exported to serve specialty markets overseas. The largest markets are France, Belgium, Holland, Japan, and Italy. The only three horse slaughter plants in the United States are foreign-owned. Krystal Franklin (8)	Each year nearly 100,000 horses are slaughtered in the United States and processed for human consumption. In addition, many thousands of live horses are transported across the border to Canada for slaughter. After these horses are killed, their flesh is shipped to Europe and Asia for human consumption. Their owners are often totally unaware of the pain, fear, and suffering their horses endure before being slaughtered. Krystal Franklin (8)
Horse auctions take place, where many large amounts of horses, including retired race horses. are sold for as little as five dollars each. Many of the horses are bought by the slaughter houses. Krystal Franklin (8)	When their head is chopped off, it is not a quick, swift swipe of the blade, like you might see in a movie. It's a rather slow one that is gruesome and unfair. The slaughter people carefully pick away at the neck of the horse with a tool until the horse's head falls off. Krystal Franklin (8)	In the US, Under federal law, horses are required to be rendered unconscious prior to slaughter, usually with a device called a captive bolt gun, which shoots a metal rod into the horse's brain. Some horses, however, are improperly stunned and are conscious when they are hoisted by a rear leg to have their throats cut Krystal Franklin (8)	In mexican slaughter houses, horses are killed by people first severing their spinal chords, then letting the horses bleed to death Krystal Franklin (8)
My family, my equine friends, I lost them all. Someone like you took me away, locked me up. They almost killed me. I was saved. Others lost everything, including their lives. Krystal Franklin (8)	I'm smiling because I get to live without fear of being next in line. I get to be a horse and I get to be loved. Krystal Franklin (8)	If you let us, we're your guardian angels. We give for you and live for you, love you and teach you to care, but most of all we love you for who you are and see potential in the darkest of times. Shouldn't you do the same? Stop slaughter! Krystal Franklin (8)	Turning a cold shoulder until you sign the petition against horse slaughter Krystal Franklin (8)
In a kill pen somwhere, a horse like me loved a human like you and they turned their back on them. That horse was there for them and they looked away. Now they're dead because they helped someone like you through their pain. I was one of the lucky few. Stop the slaughter, please, end the pain. Krystal Franklin (8)	We're living things. We have thoughts and even feelings. We have individual personalities. We're just like you but in a different shape and size. We're smart, powerful, beautiful and majestic. My ancestors were your ancestors' transportation. They carried them fearlessly into battle. We helped you in the past so why don't you help us out now? Krystal Franklin (8)	Most of us that are standing in that kill pen deserve a second chance. Most of them weren’t even given a first chance. Krystal Franklin (8)	NASH AND ME Sharon J. (1)
