Every market needs a bottom...and with horses, it has always been about 35 cents/lb. Take that away and horses suffer immensely with owners who can't afford to euthanize, feed or get veterinary care.
Bottom line...a quick death at a slaughter house is much better than months to years of neglect and/or abuse. Hopefully regional processors will step up so that animals don't have to be shipped too far. Bring it on!
Yep, been needed, things have gotten worse for horses since they banned it and then got hit with sky high hay prices...
