Anti-horse slaughter bill passes House vote

Vela, I definitely understand how you feel and why you want the bill to pass. I won't say I don't want it to pass, I just feel that it is misguided. I see the problem being less the fact that horses are being slaughtered for meat and more the fact that I think our slaughter houses are inhumane. I wish that we would spend some time figuring out a way to make it less traumatic on the animals. Unfortunately I think with the high demand for meat that is going to be a hard thing to do.

king2005, I want to reply to your post too, but it's late and I have to get up early so I'm going to be back tomorrow.

Personally i have no problem with any animal being slaughtered for their meat...wether it be horse, cow, sheep, dog or whatever....but i do have a problem with non humane slaughtering process.

The slaughter process needs to be reviewed..and might i add that not all slaughter houses treat their charges with such cruelty...but the ones that do need to be taught the right way to go about it
