Is horse slaughter humane or brutal?

Is horse slaughter humane euthanasia or do you consider it a brutal act?
Do you consider the euthanizations (putting to sleep, put down, putting out of its misery) that shelters perform on dogs and cats, 9.6 millions animals per year, humane? Don't our tax dollars pay for the animals put down at county shelters?

By all aspects horse slaughter is by far the worse of butal and abusive of horse handling. The whole slaughter industry it self promotes and rewards irresponsible people for there failed oboligations. Its driving by greed and profits. There has no need for it in America including the exports as well. To fix the problem we first must not reward people. Allowing slaughter will not stop abusive and neglective situations to horses. Just as there are laws to protect kids from abusive parents they still continue to do it.. You dont see the laws changing to support abusive parents and let them continue but you actually inforce the laws with stiffer penaltys. We need to change the word for horses as livestock to Pet. This would inhance farther punishment and not a slap on the risk. Many who are making money supporting horse slaughter dont want to change the horse status due to the tax breaks they get having large areas of land. More taxes but put a few horses out there and you get tax breaks. Lets not for get this is a slaughter support slaughter industry Note the South Western Cattle Raisers in Texas were getting paid $3.00 per horse slaughter in the plants in Texas. While these plants operated illegal in Texas for years ignoring laws and waste water violations. Not to mention the recent reports from the USDA FIOA proofing the abuse and neglect that was rewarding these people. The few people such as the AVMA and the AAEP knew this going on and allowed it to continue secretly they are also the ones that call slaughter humane euthanisa. They have failed there own Oaths to protect horses and know it.. We must continue to rub there faces in there negligents and expose these law breakers and irresponsible people. for more info visit www.SaveDaHorses.org
