Horse Slaughter in the USA
By Laura Leigh
Many Americans are still unaware that American horses are slaughtered for
human consumption. Our horses cross our borders every single day and are
brutally killed through a captive bolt supposedly stunning an animal before it’s
throat is cut or literally being stabbed through the spinal cord and then hung
upside down to have it’s throat cut.
You constantly hear “belly aching” by those that over breed, or are looking for
a way to make a greater profit off of America’s horses, that the “horse industry” is in trouble because Americans can’t slaughter horses. They claim that
people are “forced” into starving or paying to euthanize a horse and this is
“unfair.” It is also not the truth.
