Politicians Address Horse Slaughtering
KAMR-TV (TX)
Whether you own a horse or not, you may have a strong opinion on what`s done with them after they`re past their prime. Now, the U.S. Government is taking a stand on the issue of slaughtering horses.
The two sides on the issue of horse slaughtering are clear.
“To a lot of people, horses are their pets. They`re members of the family so to speak. And so that side of the argument is understandable. What the end of slaughter though will do is it ends one definite options for the removal of unwanted horses in the United States. And that`s going to leave options such as going to the vet and having that animal put down. And after you do that, we have the issues of what to do with those unwanted bodies,” said Dr. Lance Baker with the WTAMU Equine Industry Program.
