  • I consider those who would look at horses as a meat animal as being a little bit less civilized than the rest of us. Horses have been raised as working animals and companion animals for thousands of years, while cows are the designated main meat animal. If people would make the CHOICE to not eat horse meat, that alone would stop most slaughter. But the problem remains, of too many horses and not enough good homes for them. Overbreeding has to be stopped and that is the best answer.

  • I've seen a lot of my friends in the horse world argue each way on this subject. For those who say this must stop, I was curious if that means horse slaughter or horse abuse at slaughter? Would you be okay with horse slaughter if it was properly regulated so that abuse is very minimal, or is the whole practice of killing horses for meat unacceptable to you? If so, is all animal slaughter not okay or just horses? Honest question I would like to know how people feel. (I own a QH and mini)

  • welke debiel zet ditt erop debiel!!

  • the USA just lifted the ban on horse slaughter. They kept it quiet, knowing people would protest it.  Too many people breed without thinking of the consequences.

  • Honestly there are some fucked up people but if they stop slaughter houses where will they go! they will just leave them to starve to death! this happens because people over breed them all the time i mean if they are going to do it have them do it respectfully not what that guy did to the poor horse!! this is bullshit how can u send such a beautiful animal to be killed :(

  • DONT SLAUGHTER THEM, THERES YOUR SOLUTION!!!!!

  • That horse being thrown over the fence... i am crying

  • Für geld und mit mangelnden Gewissen tun Menschen die größten Abscheulichkeiten....

  • If you can both Condemn this farming horses for meat AND still eat Beef I have some bad news, you're a Hypocrite.

  • i'm kinda freaking out, WHY are they kill horses????

  • the people will end up in hell

  • what the f**** are they doing i really want to kill thet guy that pulled that horse over now ive got a horse and i couldnt imagine this happening to him they should be slaughtered them selves.

  • There needs to be strict regulation on breeding practices (Europe AND U.S.); very strict! Wild bands need to have their stallions gelded, and please don't be sentimental about wild horses, when there are not enough homes for them, nor space in the wild. Same regulations as dogs & cats: neuter & keep populations in check!

  • who is breeding all these horses just for slaughter? .so sad seeing the horrible treatment of dogs and cats that get eaten in other countries, and to see these horses being treated the same way makes me want to cry..some of them look very healthy, not horsemeat!..We have to make laws that require humane treatment, even if they are to be food...this shit just makes me very upset and mad at humans in general..

  • i cant watch this,,, ive watched it once and im neva gonna watch it again,,,, y do this to them,,, my auntie sed tht its not just horses its other animals, and im like,, but u know wat im like wiv horses... ive luved them since i was 3 and know im 15,, can;'t stand,, STOP HORSE SLAUGHTER, STOP HORSES SLUGHTER, STOP HORSE SLAUGHTER, STOP HORSE SLAUGHTER,, it cruel,, its cruel,every horse deserves the best,,, the way they r being treated,, its not rite,, if i hade the choise i wud sue the peole!.

  • I actaully started crying when I watched this. When I saw ALL them beautiful horses going to be slaughtered, I just started crying.

  • and some people still claim that humans are the "superior" species - ha

  • i havnt much of a problem with horse slaughter im a horse owner myself id chew off my own arm before id eat horse meat+i dont send them to slaughter,the problem i have is transporting horses across europe for slaughter,no horse should be transported loose,they should all have their own partition and for long trips should have a haynet and be offered a bucket of water every hour,anyway every country has their own abattoir,why the fck they need to put a horse on a lorry 4 20+hrs to kill them?

  • @tellarue i dont like horse slaughter,, i have a problem wiv it,, im gettin a horse from the recue and givin him everything he needs xx its not fare 4 the horses to travell tht way and be slaughtered,, i cant stand it any longer,, xxx :(

  • what the hell was that fool thinking to drag that horse over the didviding partition like that ? shame on people like this ....

  • to add to my comment, by raising your own meat you know that #1 youre eating a healthy animal free from disease, hormones, and chemicals. #2 the population would consume less meat as a whole, processing an animal for meat is not an enjoyable experience therefore you wouldnt want to do it very often, and would let less go to waste. society as a whole, the commercial meat industry, technology, and to good to do it yourselfers are to blame for this abuse. its more than just horses people!!!

  • how do such beautiful horses nd up n meat lines.people will hate me 4 this but; i dont have a problem w/ people eating any animal, except endangered 1s. I have major problems w/ the way society has created a meat INDUSTRY. Im not eatin sick,neglected,hormone/chemica­lly injected,unhealthy animals. People should raise ur own food & this type of abuse wouldnt happen 2 meat animals. u have respect 4 an animal if u raise it there4 u eat less meat. I dont c horses as meat i love and own them

  • Think about this: People don't send people away to slaughter, so why would you do that to animals. THEY HAVE FEEELINGS TOO. They live and breathe just like us! There is so difference !

  • horses lives are just as important as our

  • you do know horses lives are just as important as your think about it stop slaughter!

  • 0:55...*cries*

  • The one at around 1 minute that was stuck on the fence.. was gorgeous.

  • FUCKNG SICK FREAKS IF THESE TWATS THINK THAT KILLING HARMLESS BEAUTIFUL HORSES IS MAKING A LIVING THEVE GOT A NOTHER THING COMING I REALLY PISSES ME OFF ESPECIALY BECAUSE IV GOT MY OWN 2 HORSES!!!

    SHOULD BE STOPED!!!1

  • they say they only slaughter old sick horse... i dont see how those well fed horses and foals being sick and old. even though old or sick they should not be slaughtered they should be humanely euthanized. these beautiful animals should not be destroyed

  • i hate all the people that kill the horses that dont have to be

  • how would they like it if we did that 2 them? i know they would hate it! so stop the madness!

  • OMG!!!! i have never been more pissed off!!!!!! if i ever meet a person who has slaughtered a horse i'm gonna be in jail for murder!!!

  • @equinluver11 -

    I second that!

  • i rkon that no animals should have to be put through a process of pain and horror and then get eaten cause some people like it. i went to france for 4 days and did not eat one peice of meat where im from we have no slaughter houses there was one but it was shut down very long time ago and now being turened into a shopping malll we have our meat imported from england i think???

  • 1:09 is bloody horrible, those horrid gits could have broke that horses neck !

  • now that is screwd up

  • 0:54-1:06 Oh hell no! I know he didn't just do that to that horse! There are some animals that are not meant for a food source like a horse. I wouldn't mind them slaughtering them for food if they killed them in a humane way!

  • Horse meat should be Banned!

  • Why do people not care about this happening to cows but the second it happens to a horse, everyone is up in arms?

  • there are certain animals that are not for eating...

  • horses are companion animals that are not breed for slaughter

  • Pauvres animaux, l'être humain est vraiment globalement une grosse merde.....

  • dit is echt niet normaal!!!

    die arme paarden, die verdienen toch ook gewoon een goed leven :S.

    en dan ze nog even lekker over de kop slaan,

    idioten!!

  • poor things, this needs stopping all together.

  • Okay I don't agree with slaughtering a healthy animal at all. But if you are going to do it, be respectful of the animal. Like the part of the guy pulling the horse down on it's head! What the hell's wrong with people? What kind of world has this turned into that that kind of treatment would be okay?

  • Unfortunately all the people in this business are or become incredible hard hearted. This is the usual handling of all horses headed for slaughter, in Europe and U.S.

  • yes

  • omg, i hate people who do that to horses!!

    how would people feel, if the number of killed humans in a year would be the same as by the horses?? (long sentence, i know..)

    NOONE WAS BORN, TO END UP ON A PLATE!!! not a horse, not a pig, not a cow, or anyother animal!!!

    i want to make the people who kell animals suffer...

  • you dont have to slaughter horses! they have feelings to! if they are sick and dying you can humanly uthenize them. i dont know if i spelled that right. HORSE SLAUGHTER IS WRONG!!!!!

  • bullshit, so pigs dont have feelings? im used to eat horse meat, it is NORMAL in europe.

    live with it

  • Maybe you see it as normal, but it most definitely should not be.

  • I dont mind that you eat it its just how they are transport to slaughter i fucking hate!

  • so sad but real

  • If we didnt have horse slaughter we would have dead and dieing horses everywhere

    yes i do agree the could have better conditions

    but still

  • I agree.

  • The horses on this video didn't look so unhealthy or "dead and dieing" though... Now, I don't know much about this stuff, but I think they should slaughter the ones that are already dead that have died of natural causes. And I get that for hundreds of years people have eaten animals, but we never used to treat them like this.

  • :P

    serious?

  • i dont mind eating animals but please, give them a way to die that is not that horrible like this!

  • Ok would you rather have horses dying on the side of the road and not being fed and starved to death and have a long slow painful death or would you rather have them have a quick death. Yeah i think its wrong but i would never want to see any horses die in a pasture because they have no food

  • " STOP HORSE SLAUGHTERING NOW" there´s NO reason for humans to eat horse meat SHAME ON ALL ppls THEY DO

  • i totally agree! i hav to do an assignment on this for college, and its horrible! horse meat should be banned!

  • OH GOD HORSES ARE DELICIOUS

  • I hope ur kidding!

  • you are insane obviously you are blind and the conditions are horrible they are a delcasy to have as a pet not for food we can live without them you sick person !!!

  • this is so sad, just heartbreaking! : (

  • Wahnsinn... wie kann man das nur tun^^

    Allein beim Anblick von diesen hilflosen Tieren würde ich schon zusammenbrechen!!

  • I agree with horzcrzy. Sortof.. If only they would stop being such bastards when they do it. D< Makes me so angry. I'd rather see them die than the horses, though.

  • that is sooo sad i really hate when any animal is abused or slaughtered like that =((

  • I hate people sometimes.

  • This is horrible, I mean when do we draw the line? people are horrible. 100,000!!!! sickening.

  • aww poor things!!!

  • its sad to see those people stuff them into to those trailers so full. and treat as bad

    but if you think about it this is a better way to go. if there wasnt any slaughtering then there would be more animal cruelty than anything else becuase there would be too many horses in the world. so i agree with slaughter but i think they can do a way better job of transportating and treating them befor they get there

  • no horse slaughtering is just wrong period the end if you dont agree with that than you do not truly love horses!

  • jebać skurwysynów

  • why? why help you not the horses?

    was haben sie euch getan?

    Echt fies. in den supermärkten laufen die

    fleischtruhen über, und dan wird immer mehr geschlachtet. warum wird nicht damit aufgehört???

  • poor thiings

  • this is really bad, where does this sale take place, i have the money o rescue some!!

  • Comment removed

  • its so sad how people sluaghter horses. horses are more of a pet, there so beautiful and gracefull. i seriously couldnt live without them, there the fun in my life :)

  • this bloddy makes me angre y wod they do such a thing to such lovely horses which havnt done anything wrong and just got down the wrong path or born terribly!

  • Look at the beautiful gray at 6:56.. it breaks my heart to see this.. what I wouldn't give to have this amazing, intelligent animal on my property grazing all day, and getting spoiled. Horses deserve so much better..

  • The horse of my dreams is up for sale.

    Ive been riding him for over 1 year now, but he doesnt belong to me. Hes a plod but he captured my heart! I know he wont sell, i know it, i wish i could buy him but i could never afford him. If you look at my channel you'll see i apsolotetly adore him. Hes gonna go somwhere im never gonna see him again :'(

  • So find him a better place yourself if you cannot aford him. Don't leave him.

  • its very sad to see, lets hope the live transportation of horses stops soon .

  • This is disgraceful.

  • This is horrible....just horrible. It's not fair.

  • For each horse less, it's an additional cow

    Or any other animal

    I miss the point of this campaign

  • Slaughter of horses is just WRONG. No ifs, and's, or but's about it. I can't believe how they were treating the one at 1:00! I could never, ever do this to any of them!

    We call so many animals 'vicious killers', and look what WE'RE doing. You tell me who the vicious killers are. HideAwayFarmSC: I agree with you.

  • The beggining made me cry.. when the horse tried to jump over the fence....i couldn't watch anymore..this is HORRIBLE!

  • I SO OOOO AGREE WITH U

    I AM A VEGITARIAN

  • i would feel so bad if that was my horse i hope this stop completly and well never continue stop this crultiy

    please sign ur name on coments sayin u agree with me

  • I love horses I will love them forever

  • 1:43 WTF

  • dreckschweine sind das doch!

  • It hurts me to see this happen. Horses are such smart, loyal, sweet and loving animals. I don't know how people think this is the right thing to do! God gave us these amazing animals and people are killing them. In the most un-humane way! I hope.. I pray that horse slaughter STOPS

  • soo sly killing horses if u think its right u must be off ur head seriusly get a life

  • ok, i have a horse and i love my baby to bits, and i would never ever let anything like this happen to him, so people who say they love horses but dont think this is bad needs serious help, and fast. and also there is such a difference between cows and horses, cows are pathetic and just stand in a field doing nothing, but horses represent such beauty, they are such loyal animals and it's a pleasure to me, watching my horse in the field or riding him or doing anything with him. so this is justbad

  • youre pathetic if you think "my pinky horsi is all right, who cares the cows"

    eating something is not equal abusing somethin....the question is how you handle it till it lives and with how much charity you kill it

  • Jeeze! I saw this little 'thumb nail' image and clicked on it. I didn't see the 'horses to slaughter' bit.

    I used to own a pony.

    He is a Mustang by the name of 'BurnBabyBurn' and seeing this makes me hope to God that my evil uncle Tom (owner of the HOA) didn't send him off to slaughter. He would do it just to hurt my family.

    Seeing this makes me miss my horse more than words can convey.

  • God see's what you do......... he didnt put beauiful animals here for you do murder. The things mankind has done sickens me.... It saddeneds me to think god is looking down....... watching... what a mistake we were. The animals are the only ones who should have been save in the flood. My heart brakes for the millions of amimals murder every day.

  • terrible !

  • (cont.) i understand that horses under some accounts such as life threating illneses and horses that are suffering already.. they should be put down in a humanly order.. i KNOW i would NEVER EVER eat a horse BUT I know in different countries they do..i think its legal to eat horses in the u.s in SOME states but im not exactley sure.. i hoped that helped you understand why its such a big deal.

  • Sick bastards! I don't care what anyone says thats sick!

  • I would love to help too. Anyway ppl cows where breed for food horses where not!!!.

  • i dont get what the big deal is

    horses are live stock just like cows

    its taboo to eat horses but not beef???

  • yeah i see why you are confused... but have you seen the WAY they kill them? They let the animals suffer in some of the most crueliest ways.. some people enjoy them suffering its just not right..

  • were the ones who love horses, there our best friends OW CUD U FREKIN SAY THAT. yu just dont understand what its like to love horses or bbe loved by them. THERE OUR BEST FWENDS THATS WHAT THE BIG DEAL IZZ ~~!

  • shut up loser! Horses are companion animals, not livestock. I'm sure you wouldn't eat a dog, but dog slaughter is happening too. Have a heart!

  • What is it with the EU?Why do so many countries there eat horses?There is plenty of beef and pork in the EU.

  • That is terrible! Horses are nature's beuty! They did nothing to anyone, yet they were sent to a stupid slaughter house

    -Bails<3

  • who kill horses are very sick people

  • Why do people do that.

    Traveling 5,000 miles JUST to kill horses.... stupid.

  • WHat they are doing is TERRIBLE! how can ppl stand for this!?!?!?! They look so inncoent and as if they know their about to die. Its so sad.

  • Yummy!

  • you're disgusting!

  • A true horse person, that cares about the QUALITY of horses and indastry rather you show or not. The market has gone to the drain. You can't sell a good horse because there are too many bad horses. If the meat market would open again maybe a person would be able to be in the positave with there horses. Not Horse Poor. I am a horse lover and I say Open the market in the USA.

  • how can you love horses and be okay with killing them. there is no such thing as a bad horse. anyone who TRULY loves horses: watching them run, grooming them, nurturing them; not just riding, would never be okay with killing a horse. YOU SICKEN ME!

  • What abou those people that colect them? People that forget that horse were livestock first, just like cattle, goats and sheep. There is so such as a thing at a "Bad Horse. I know I had one. And just shy of her 4th birth day I had her put down. If there were fewer horses then horses would have more value and less of a need to slaughter them.

  • who eat animals should at least say that is a sick thing...

    sons of bitchs.

  • when they pulled that horse and it fell on its head.. that was my breaking point... :[

    i cried... and i hardly ever do

    but i thought of my horse bein treated like that :'[

    fuk i cant stop my tears!!

    fukin retards!!

    cant people see how bad it is? :(

  • why slaughter horses its horrible its not like we eat them. i have a horse named fred and thats just horrbile

  • They woldnt be traveling so far away from home if the costumers acctually bougth horsemeat in their homecountries.

  • orry but if u are a horse lover like me yea we need to get to gether and stand up to these People horses cant say they are scared or hurting. thats why we all need to do something...x write back to me plz if u shuld want to help or do something about this Horrible Slaughter.

  • i want to!! write me back to tell me how i can help you!!

  • How can they torture/slaughter those

    poor beautiful horses? It makes me

    sick thinking people actually do that :(

  • Horses are live stock.

  • omfg when tht guy pulled the horse over the barrier nd like broke its neck or wotever i wanted to kill him! WTF is tht all about theres no need for tht ffs this HAS TO STOP!!!

  • so sad!!! we need to stop horse slaughter!! i don't understand why people want their horse(s) to get slaughtered!!

  • 0.55 theres no need 2 do that the poor horse ='[

  • it's a year since this video was posted. we need to raise further awareness, my pony was rescued from the trade 2 years ago and is now just one double clear round from the british novice second rounds. these horses could have a future, but if we allow these horses to preserve their lives, nations equestrian federations may be bettered!

  • Hi all,

    It's damned straight, no one should be allowed to eat horsemeat, not even the European people, if they should look into the agreament, after the worldwar in Europe, American soldiers brought the horses back to where they've belongd in Vienna, and with their action on this, they've made an agreament not to slaughter horses any more for humanly consumption, they've should only be worked into dog food and cat food

    Take care

  • hey you, horses are NOT livestock. they are not bred as food animals in the US. its illegal to eat horse meat in the US. so before you go telling people its necessary, get the fucking correct information.

    dumbass.

  • all those horses... It's so sad... I've always thought of horses as companions and friends, I hate to see them sick and dieing.. aw the horse at 4:55.. :'(... Aw love the part at 7:27. I think the killing of horses should stop all together

  • 0:55 - I asmire that horse but those people obviously don't.

  • same.

  • Everyone commenting on here seems to be absurdly caught up on the idea that horse slaughter should be stopped. LISTEN TO THE VIDEO. Nobody's trying to stop horse slaughter. They're lifestock, it's necessary. They're trying to stop trucking live horses from UK, Romania, etc. all the way to Italy for slaughter. The lady said she wants it to be more feasable to ship the carcasses only. They'll be just as dead, only they don't ride as far to slaughter.

  • omg this is soooooooo sad!

  • Everybody is complaining that they're not enough animals in the world so why kill them??

    I hate it when they send horses to slaughter because they do it so inhumanly!!!!

    I hate people like that because they obviously have to brain!

  • i agree

  • this is so saddddddddddd!!!!!!!!

  • This is the kind of topic that rips my heart to pieces. Even sadder yet is the fact that slaughter is viewed as a solution to common horse problems such as over breeding, inexperienced and ignorant owners, abuse, neglect, the list goes on. In other words, these fine creatures pay the ultimate price for human failures.

    One thing we can do, if we are truly concerned with the well being of all horses, is educate ourselves. Work to make this a better world for horses. They deserve the chance.

  • If you can eat horse, than you can easyly eat humans too!! You're nothing but a primitive predators with no brain!!!

  • This is just so cruel who can do this to a horse. I mean if you have a horse u are suppose to care for it and look after it. Rather than puting it to slaughter

  • jee... UNIA

  • if u have a user name that is horselvr or

    horsecrazy than y do you let these horses you

    love so much die!

  • for the simple fact that some of them need to be put down for more reasons than you apparently know. Some are so injured that they NEED to be put down. Some are so dangerous that it's the last hope. But who are you or I to say what ppl can eat overseas when they don't come over here and tell us we can't do this or that. It's NONE of our business what they eat over there !!

  • RE: "Some are so dangerous that it's the last hope" - How does putting down a horse, even if it is dangerous (I've never heard of such a thing if a horse is well treated and handled from an early age) offer them hope. How does it offer them anything but death. Please explain this concept to me.

  • no horse is dangerous u idiot u have 2 train them and bond with them with out that the horse will become scared of u and will try 2 defend them selfs. Every body dies 1day even u its like me saying 2 u if ur gunna die let me put i knife through ya heart now!

  • Because a couple of ppl cant stop millions on horses going to slaughter every week !! come think about it! COWGIRL4 EVER3

  • WE need to make the slaghter and transport part better,less violence less stress,less horses in the transports.They are natural claustrofobic animals.I cant see no wrong with eating them ,but we need to do it calmer and don't put them in a dark corner with a hundred other nervous horses...

  • Aw that is so sad. If someone can't take care of there horse they should be kind to it and give it to someone else to take care of or have it put down by a vet in a kind way. Not just sell them to be used as meat. So happy less of this is happening. Hope it soon is against the law to kill them in such a way

  • Horse slaughter just isnt right

  • end the cruelty of NYC carriage horses.

  • made me cry majorly!

  • thats horrible

    you dont need to eat them atall

    people shoundt eat horses, its sick

    there beautifull animals

    and the way the horses are treated they deffintly shouldnt be eaten

    sick people in this world

  • What about the starving horses whose owners can't afford to feed them? No one is thinking about them. Yes, horses are beautiful creatures and we hate to see them treated like this, but would you rather see them suffering?! So many horse owners have horses who are in pain everyday and have to pay thousands of dollars on them every month so that horse can live on and have a so-so life because there is nowhere to take the horse anymore. I am trying to educate everyone to look at the gray area.

  • If you've ever shared a bond with a horse, you'd know that they don't feel enslaved. All of the horse trainers I've known approached the equines with gentileness and not violence. The horses whom I've known and ridden, enjoyed my company as much as I did theirs. How can you not see it when they whicker excitedly at the gait before a morning excursion?

    I'm all for saving horses from slaughter. They deserve more. They are friends and allies.

  • Its all food. Yummy!

  • Its so sick and it makes me wanna cry.. Thats why im a vegetarian <3

  • Thank you ILPH iam happy:)there are people who try there best to save the beautiful careing animals(Horses)from such harm and death people have to realy think if there was no such beings as horses mankind would not be where thay are today.So stop eating them and respect them for all what thay have done for this human race.

  • what are you cryin about.. the slaughter pigs to!? so why dont start a: Save the pig group!?. Ill tell u why. cause pigs are ugly. and horses are beutifull.. Who wants to save an ugly animal!?

  • people raise pigs, cows, chickens, ect. for that exact purpous so its not as cruel as deciding oh! dont ride this horse anymore! besides giving a child a loving pet for a lifetime ill just sell it for my greedy money... people like that make me sick!!!!!!!!!!

  • n what about human slaughter?where is save the human group?

  • Horse meat is lean and healthy, they are just like cattle only leaner and more tasty

  • what the hell, this is how you repay them for carrying your ancestors for about 1 thousand years? wow, go to hell man...

  • That's awful! Those poor horses.

  • Thank god that there are ppl out there that care!!SAVE THE HORSES, SAY NO TO HORSE SLAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why some horses are revered and others treated like this? what a wonderful and just world we're in...

  • i hate people that do that to amazing butiful animals! y not people sell their horses not send them off to the glue factorey!

  • Yeah, sell them so more people can hop onto their backs and force them to do their bidding! There are people in this world of automobiles that still love the feel of a real enslaved animal to carry them around.
