OK ready I got your solution. Well take all the slaughter buyers out of the auction barns, and at the end of the sale day, any horse left will eat a bullet, get piled on a dump truck, go to the land fill get dumped in a hole, and rot away. Hows that work for ya anti's? Now mind you because were not all professional guns men half of these horses will get to lay there and thrash around for an hour or so until they die, and our land fills are gonna start getting pretty full fast. Things won't be decaying fast enough, with all the numbers coming in. Then what do we do? We will still be faced with the horse problem all over again and then we will also have this trash problem.

Stop breeding? That's your solution? That's like telling people they can have kids because we have enough people in the world. Why don't we stop having kids? If we have less people we will take up less land and then the animals would have more space.

Do you think these people selling there horses to slaughter are really making any money? Around here slaughter horses go for $75-$250 a head. OK so after you take off an 8% commission and the $35-$50 in hualing fees. It doesn't really leave the seller much money, so I don't think there getting much of a reward for selling there horse to slaughter. I mean after all the time and money they already had in the horse to begin with there really losing there back sides in the deal. So don't tell me people send them for slaughter just because they get a little money out of it. In the long run it would be cheeper and less hassle just to shoot the thing and burry it in the back 40.

OK rant over.

Stormy, would you mind clarifying something for me?
You say that you're not against people eating horse meat, that you're only against slaughter...how do you get horse meat without slaughter? (i'm honestly asking, trying to figure out what you mean by that)

and many more countries need to follow suit. I know this sounds mean, but it's hard to be sympathetic to third world countries dying of disease and starvation from over population, when they won't stop popping out kids like pez dispensers. It's natures way of controlling over population.

LMAO! I love the simile of the pez dispensers ... people having children is a WHOLE nother ball game .. I thought I had a great idea ... then my mother called me communistic .. haha ;-) I just planned on making it so when i female popped out (was born), they medically made it so they could not give birth (tie the tubes?). then when they were 20, passed a parenthood test and paid taxes, they could have a baby .. lol ... can you tell I never want to have children??? ?! lol

Maybe, idk, it just threw me off that she is 100% anti-slaughter but has no problem with people eating horse meat.
Not really important, I was just curious
