[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 336706, member: 1963"] Remember too that "given away" horses all to often wind up being taken by meat buyers who truck them into Mexico to sell them for slaughter. Sadly and entirely MO, we didn't necessarily do any favors be closing the US slaughterhouses. The poor horses still wind up as meat. AND, very few pet/show/race horses can safely go into the food chain due to medications, wormers, etc. At least at the US houses, the animals were held long enough to clear medication residues before being slaughtered. We produce way too many horses in this country, many for the racing industries, and we need to do something about that. [/QUOTE]
