59 Draft horses were wedged into this trailer before heroic rescue workers and volunteers extricated them. Hopefully it will move people to raise their voices to change the laws! 10/27 at hwy 41 and Wadsworth road in Illinois

Well, I know abuse and neglect need to end. But, the ways they actually slaughter horses is horrible.

Okay question:

Would you rather see a horse being ABUSED or a horse being SLAUGHTERED? Yah I thought so.

It isnt slaughter that needs to end, it is abuse! That is why most horses are slaughtered is because of abuse!

Why do we have these types of videos on here. we dont want to see horses dieing or hurt.

did they die

You’re right, it’s not been banned in other countries because it’s stupid. It would be like banning euthanization of stray dogs and cats; they’re animals no one wants or needs so the only humane thing is to put them down. Having hundreds of thousands of excess dogs running around wouldn’t be ideal and neither is having horse stock that has no utility.


barrelracer4lifecg13 on 23 February, 2010 at 1:01 pm #

Yes, it’s been banned in the USA but not in Canada and Mexico. And probably other countries as well.


PeteTheBossRoss on 25 February, 2010 at 3:02 am #

You’re an idiot. The slaugher of equine has been banned for years in this country. And youre doubly an idiot because theres nothing wrong with horse slaughter. Horses aren’t teddy bears or pets, they’re animals, not unlike beefs or pigs - though clearly more intelligent. Now when you go to auction it’s littered with poor stock - they just keep getting sold and resold because many are no good. It’s only gonna get worse. Hows sending bad stock back and forth to auction any better. Its just a pain.

I know, and the french and rest of europe call America “barbaric”. And yet in addition to the horse slaughter, you have disgusting bloodsports like bullfighting and lax animal cruelty laws that are basically a slap on the wrist… And I didn’t know about the bible saying that only animals with a cloven hoof may be eaten… so i guess most of europe, mexico, canada and other countries were horses can be slaughtered are being left behind then…

If freaks with too much money in France and Belgium and where ever else the delicacy makes restaurants a lot of money to serve—if these idiots would quit eating horseflesh and realize that the Bible deems the Horse a NOBLE animal, and should not be considered food. What the hell is wrong with someone that they would even want to eat horses? Go shoot a deer, frenchie–that meat’s lean too and whaddyaknow–CLOVEN hoof. We ARE to consume only the cloven footed animals, according to God’s word!


duval1305 on 12 March, 2010 at 2:54 pm #

NO its why TRANSPORT regulations must be better enforced. They don’t give these ‘doomed’ horses rest or food or even WATER in these horrible double decker trailers. Would the transport of even a human as worthless as BTK or Manson, ever be so careless? Would the wardens not be chastised if prisoners left a facility with two feet and arrived at their destination with only one foot–hooves often get caught in the holes and are subsequently ripped off at the fetlock from all the trampling, panic


cowgal58 on 15 March, 2010 at 6:52 am #

yes it is but, there are still 2 remaining houses in US cause the public voted to keep them. Now the horses have even longer trips to Mexico and Canada


insult0master on 16 March, 2010 at 7:10 am #

This is why horse slaughter is banned in america…
