Horses are considered companion animals in this country--like eating a poodle. That's why the slaughter houses were finally closed, thank goodness. To say nothing of the way it was done.....mares, stallions, foals crammed into trucks, so that many arrived extremely injured or dead. Then strung up by their hind feet and their throats slit. Yes, I know the argument that the same is done to cattle, sheep, swine. I have no answer for that. It was a great victory to finally end horse slaughter, even though they still get shipped to Canada or Mexico for the same fate.

The Rethugs supporting this should be made into hamburger.
