omg that broke my heart reading that... that poor foal (and mare, that goes withiut saying) i hope they all die a slow and painfull death eating that meat. *******

Man. Thats really sick, can you imagine how the owners of those horses must feel? To know their beloved pets died a painful horrible death? Thats terrible. I hope they get the people responsible for that.

How very sad. They steal what is not theirs to take and destroy someone's pet. What a horrible thought that your pet is terrified as it is killed. That would just tear me up.

The blackmarket for horse meat can only get worse. It's like anything else. If there's a demand for it, someone is willing to fill it. They're horses, what will the penalty be if they are caught. A fine, 6 months probation. At as much as $40.00 a pound, do they really think it will stop? They aren't just taking old, neglected and broke down horses, as you can see.

Just bumping this up so people are aware of what's begining to happen. It's not just Florida.

Makes me nervous, I don't live near Florida but it makes me want to lock my gates.
