I can't stand the thought of horses being slaughtered! In Nordic mythology the horse belongs to the gods.

Quote: While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?
--George Bernard Shaw--

True civilization starts in our change in diet and attitude towards our fellow species. All animals are children of the earth too and they are not here to be killed, eaten, to be tortured, abused nore to be imprisoned.

You can't 'end' horse slaughter it will only cause more problems in the long run. Is slaughter horrible, well yea it might be. But you can't STOP it. For the love of God, it is a means to an end. Without it MORE horses will suffer and die horrible drawn out deaths of starvation and neglect. If these people who buy horses only to realize they are TOO much work and cost more than they ever imagined, have NO other option but to leave them shut up in their barn until the die horribly. Slaughter may not be quick but it is MUCH quicker than starving to dehydrating to death. It only takes a horse minutes to bleed out, it takes weeks sometimes MONTHS for them to starve to death. If you end slaughter....neglect...abuse...starvation will only increase.

This is not euthanizing an animal. This is a business and industry. The meat is sold to European markets for human consumption (eating horse meat).

This is not only means of disposal but making a profit off of a beloved animal that has served mankind since the beginning of time.
