In part per the link above - Documentary - "What About the Horse?" Questions Public Awareness

Voluntary Instinct Productions' documentary entitled "What About the Horse?" explores Land Development and the fate and exploitation of wild and domestic Horses in North America.

New York, NY (Web.com/PRWEB ) January 23, 2008 -- Voluntary Instinct Productions - To recap on a long standing issue; 'NPR's All Things Considered' reported Oct.16, 2007 that approximately 60,000 horses were slaughtered annually at the Belgian-owned Carvel International Horse Slaughter plant in Dekalb, Illinois. Carvel was the third and final of three foreign owned horse slaughter plants to be closed in the US in fall 2007, somewhat affecting this $20,000,000 export business. This is a sore subject in the equine circles, but why has it primarily remained there? Voluntary Instinct's three part documentary series entitled "What About the Horse?" http://www.voluntaryinstinct.org/index.html, will explore the fate and exploitation of our wild and domestic horses, to unveil the core issues of how this situation has gotten so out of hand and why so few people know anything about it.

Despite legislation obtained by the Humane Society lobbying to ban horse slaughter within the US, we continue to export horses to Mexico and Canada for slaughter, and onto Europe and Asia for consumption. The export business continues, but unfortunately the horses don't fair as well with the live transport. The conditions are very difficult and cruel to the animals. Some are transported by aircraft, but usually traveling days overseas in uncommonly tight quarters, without food or water, in a mad rush to their immediate demise. The fear and abuse these animals withstand is immense. Compounded by the brutal conditions in which they are now slaughtered (without FDA regulations). Sometimes selling for less 15 cent per pound. Race and Show horses, former pets and protected wild horses among others are bought very inexpensively at auctions, unbeknownst to the seller, specifically for slaughter purposes.

I agree with Kathy T. I would love to kill these people who are killing helpless, innocent, beautiful animals. It discusts me that the human race is the ONLY living creature that has to eat or taste anything & everything we see. And if it doesn't taste good to us, we destroy it anyway. We have left NOTHING untouched or uneaten. How much do we need to eat. And to comfort ourselves after killing everything we tell ourselves "that's okay, they're going to a better place". Well, I believe they do, but we don't have to send them there when they haven't fininshed living their lives, just to fill our bellies. My husband said one thing that I totally agree with and his words were " THE HUMAN RACE IS A VIRUS" . So true.
