American Horses: There is no time
Horse Slaughter may return to the United States very soon
Horses are not food, the domestic horses are companion animals most frequently put up at auction where they are purchased by kill buyer. Wild horses are the American Icon. However, there is a good chance that horse slaughter will return to the US. At this time American horses are cruelly transported to Canada, Mexico and Japan to be slaughtered for their "meat."
Horse slaughter has only been prohibited in the US because of the language that defunds the inspection of horse slaughter plants. That may come to an end under the Trump administration and it may come to an end
very soon. People must let their voices be heard. Write your Congress people, not only about the Appropriations bill but about the Interior Department's plan to murder over 100,000 American Horses, not only those that have been rounded up buy others running free. And the Safe Act, HR 113, which would prohibit the transport and slaughter of our horses within and out of our borders.
Please note that there are some semi-graphic photos in this video. But then again, horse slaughter is graphic, inhumane and horrific.
