Thank you for taking this on.<br /><br />Yknow I passed by the carriage horses this morning along CPS and most looked okay, though a little bored. I'm glad winter is over for them, though the hot summer is ahead.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693697089040184548.post-53566849273115603612011-03-30T19:36:16.587-04:002011-03-30T19:36:16.587-04:00I guess we all tend to forget that horse slaughter...I guess we all tend to forget that horse slaughter is not illegal in the US. The last three (foreign owned) slaughter plants - two in Texas and one in Illinois - were closed a few years back by the courts - not legislation. So technically horse slaughter is still legal but there are no big slaughter plants here, which is why the horses go onto Canada and Mexico.<br /><br />As a matter of fact several states are trying to get local legislation through that would allow them to create slaughter facilities in their respective state. I am not up to date on where it has already passed - but there are many people who are not happy that there are no facilities in the US anymore. <br /><br />There have been bills in the federal government to make horse slaughter illegal but they do not seem to be going anywhere. This is the only thing that would work.Elizabeth Forelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665501752177235170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693697089040184548.post-17027519993896953932011-03-30T10:54:35.928-04:002011-03-30T10:54:35.928-04:00Since it's illegal to slaughter horses in the ...Since it's illegal to slaughter horses in the U.S. Why should it be legal to sell to foreign horse slaughtering buyers (Canada & Mexico). Does that not go against the U.S law of illegal horse slaughtering? Would it be very difficult to put a clause in this law, that can extend to the US- Canada- Mexico trade agreements. Their can be horse tracking regulators and generous fines for breaking the law (to pay for the regulators). It would be as easy as branding the horse where it can't be taken off. And holding all buyers accountable for the way they conduct each and every horse. <br />There must be a better way of upholding this great U.S law of Illegal Horse slaughtering. How can we better take advantage of this law?Dimitrianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693697089040184548.post-91902985128526302602011-03-28T17:52:09.838-04:002011-03-28T17:52:09.838-04:00I only wish a petition could be the key to ending ...I only wish a petition could be the key to ending this tragic industry. But a petition to whom? This mostly occurs in the elitist, wealthy racing industry, which cares a lot more about money than about the individual horse. You cannot believe that someone like this loves their horse when they would breed their own mare, (because she is expensive and has "good" genes) take her baby and give it to another mare of "questionable" lineage to mother, knowing that her own baby has been removed from her for the junk heap. <br /><br />Is this right? Of course not. It should be illegal. But good luck to anyone who tries to go that route.<br /><br />There is a lot of cruelty in the racing industry and it is not just all they horses they send off to the auctions.Elizabeth Forelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665501752177235170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693697089040184548.post-63614213170815076072011-03-28T16:50:01.125-04:002011-03-28T16:50:01.125-04:00I agree with you..."there's something wro...I agree with you..."there's something wrong with our society". I continue to be bewildered by what some people are ok with. 1 in 4 people are sociopaths. No conscience and no empathy. That is what the animal welfare groups are up against.<br />Owners of Nurse Mare farms are sociopaths.<br />Most race horse owners are sociopaths. <br />We are surrounded by sociopaths all day long.<br />It's no different though, than the people who were against the Civil Rights, Gay Rights, Women's Rights movements. These movements prevailed because they became ONE voice. <br />I think it's more difficult with animal welfare issues because animals cannot speak up or vote. It's so much easier for people to turn away and block out all thoughts regarding the inhumane treatment of animals. <br />My generation (50 - 60 years old) has failed. They were too busy making money and now they're playing with their grandchildren. They don't want to think about the horrors that are going on as I write this note.<br />Learning about these Nurse Mare Farms is just another atrocity being done to a beautiful, feeling creatures such as horses.<br />You are not alone with the shock of learning about these farms.<br />It will take an united Animal Welfare Movement to start to chip away at all the lax laws, the non-enforcement of laws, the addition of stronger laws.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01162824102466637962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693697089040184548.post-44254390769941111032011-03-28T09:54:50.865-04:002011-03-28T09:54:50.865-04:00Why isn't there a petition to stop this horrib...Why isn't there a petition to stop this horrible practice?Eddie107https://www.blogger.com/profile/17805967710235837886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693697089040184548.post-89673217845741716172011-03-27T15:00:54.763-04:002011-03-27T15:00:54.763-04:00You can say that again, we are evil.

The very thought that we can kill these innocents and not even bat an eye says it all.<br /><br />We talk about how bad China is and how bad they treat animals there, well we do the very same here in the states and it is high time for us to make those changes that we ask othes to make!<br /><br />Stop the killing of all innocent creatures. We are the reason for overpopulation and we must stop this. Our moral fiber has been broken and this is just sad.Elizabethhttp://www.savinganimalsviaeducation.orgnoreply@blogger.com
