Overrun

All the talk about banning Horse slaughter has an affect.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6481804,00.html" >Kentucky Overrun With Unwanted Horses</a><br />n<br />nYes, states shutting down slaughter plants and the continued propaganda about horse slaughter has led to exactly what I feared. People letting horses starve and/or turning them loose to suffer.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>“We had one horse we brought in that was a rack of bones – in pain both from starvation and parasite infestation and injury,'' Schwartz said. “His owner thought life was better than going to slaughter. Well, life is – if you're going to feed it and take care of it.'' </blockquote><br />n<br />nYes, I guess pain and suffering is worth it to those opposed to horse slaughter. Why aren't these groups ponying up the money to take care of these poor, starving horses? If you want to ban horse slaughter, do the right thing and take these poor horses in that nobody wants and care for them. It's the right thing to do.<br />n<br />n<strong>Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest. Mark Twain</strong>
