Not Pro Slaughter; Pro Horse Horse slaughter has always been an option for American horse owners; it how has potential to be swept out from under the feet of citizens during this nationwide financial crisis. Many rural communities are feeling the pressure and selling items that they can live without, often times horses are the first to go because they are no longer necessary for agricultural purpose. Additionally, as American citizens, it is highly unorthodox to have to spend hundreds of dollars to get rid of an animal that is unsafe, unwanted, or just underutilized. Furthermore, without the option of canning the animal, horse owners may turn to simply letting the horse loose, which is illegal, and the government will be spending more money on organizations such as “Adopt a Horse,” because they’ll have to take the horses that are let go. It is also true that the US cannot dictate what other countries eat, “if we grew up with cows in our back yards and lived on dog ranches, we would think it was wrong to eat cattle.” Anonymous
What if it gets dark and you are driving your horse and buggy? Even though there are street lamps everywhere it still would not give off enough light to drive in the dark, so either you have a time limit to driving or we stick to cars. Some people I have talked to say “Well if we go back to horse and buggy it will save money”, well that’s not exactly true if you think about it you would have to pay for food and water for your horse and that’s more than gas costs. Also you have to pay for vet bills for your horse to make sure your horse is ok, you would have to pay for shoes to be put on your horse every six months, it’s a lot of work to keep a horse going without hurting or killing the horse. A lot of horses get scared easily just like us humans, so it wouldn’t really be safe to the people to be on a buggy that might tip over at any moment.
Panicked horses are often prodded and beaten off the truck and into the kill-chute. An improper use of stunning equipment, designed to render the animal unconscious with a swift shot to the head, means that horses sometimes endure repeated blows, and remains conscious during their own slaughter, including throat slitting.” There have been myths about horse slaughter being a form of humane euthanasia. The fact is it’s a far cry from being “humane.” Euthanasia means a gentle, painless death provided in order to prevent suffering; Horses for slaughter are shipped for more than 24 hours at a time in crowded double-decker cattle trucks without food, water or rest. Pregnant mares, foals, injured horses, and even blind horses must endure
Saving part of our History I do not believe that we should have slaughter houses open in the United States for wild horses. I think that we should be protecting the animal that America rose in on. We need to save our wild horse population. Wild Horse Annie saw a truck go by hauling some horses and she noticed that blood was dripping out of the back of the trailer, right then she decided that she was going to do something to save the wild horses. She spent the rest of her life trying to protect wild horses.
Our enemy’s blood spilled all over the place. In battle we will make battle cries, terrifying our enemy, giving us the advantage. I noticed in battle today that the Romans horses are out of shape. Their horses are nowhere near as tough as ours. The Romans have to carry food on the horse, making the horse slower.
Even then, however, it includes a number of government appointees, so it cannot be truly considered industry self-regulation. At any rate, the Association of Racing Commissioners has made a number of important suggestions regarding the safety and treatment of racing horses, and unlike previous organizations, has the institutional clout and organizational skill to make these suggestions a reality (Smeltz 218). Perhaps the most important of the regulations it has instituted is a ban on certain medications being given to horses on or near the day of a race, as well as investigations into the dangers of steroid use (Smeltz
Whitney describes the idea that guns do not kill people, but in all reality people kill people. If I had to put money on the horse named Humanity, I would bet for it to win by personal attack. The whole idea he proposes in gun control isn’t to abolish the firearms completely, but to abolish the right of some questionable souls to own them legally. In general, the idea of controlling every gun is ludicrous considering that it would have to go much further than just our simple city streets. Total control of guns would have to push as far as the military fronts, the same people protecting that implied and often interpreted right in our Constitution, would be sent with a knife to a
It is inhumane and wrong on so many levels. What is going through the minds of these beautiful creatures as they go through this process? It is hard to imagine. There has to be a way of euthanizing end of life and injured horses similar to the ASPCA for dogs and cats. The U.S slaughter industry for horses serves that
(Economist,1) All because the on going battle to have horses legally considered companion animals instead of live stock. The United State Department of Agriculture has been “stingy” (McGraw, 1) to give out any information on horse slaughter. (Economist,1) except to say “Horses are livestock, same as cows and pigs” (McGraw,1) Many people around the country beg to differ. It can probably be agreed by most that horses are owned for recreational purposes, generally not for work any longer. However, it can be found in the far western states that horses still work dawn to dusk, the long hours of cowboys.
Most immigrants living in the city became democrats because the party focused on the common person. Part of the disagreements occurred because Irish Immigrants who would work for very little replaced Americans with low paying jobs in order to survive. Ethnic and anti-Catholic rioting occurred in many northern states. One of the anti-Catholic groups was called the know-nothings. This anti-Catholic group wanted to make it take longer for the Irish Immigrants to become citizens.
