I said "I think this is a stupid law" that'snot bashing it to me, it's stating my opinion.

To be honest, if there was a market for dog meat in the US I would have no more problem with people slaughtering dogs than I do with them slaughtering pigs. We as a culture tend to have a knee-jerk reaction when it comes to animals we think of as pets. There IS a market for horse meat in the US, but most states have outlawed it.

Cows didn't help create the civilazation we know today?? *blink*

People rehoming or selling their dogs or cats can be lied to by people who intend to use the dogs as bait, sell them to research labs, feed them to snakes, etc etc etc. It's the same thing, people need to be more careful when they rehome.

EVERY animal deserves a humane end, IMO, whether it was raised for food, as a pet, as a working animal, a racehorse, whatever. I do not like to see people "playing god" if you will, by assigning more value to the life of one species over another. To me, this bill says that somehoe horses suffer more than cows or pigs, or that the suffering of a cow or a pig means less than the suffering of a horse.
