@FiestyCat86 You're not helping those animals by advertising their situation in such a bitter light. try encouraging people to take action without being so cynical.

The foal with no leg and the foal with the messed up mouth wasn't from a nurse mare, I read the articles they are deformed supposedly because of vaccines that were " necessary " for the mare.

I love that people are so uppity about a colt being killed, when thousands upon thousands of cattle are treated next to same. Pigs too. Chickens are literally crammed 8 into a cage made for one, and fed hormones to increase their egg laying potential. These animals are kept dirty, cramped and miserable all their lives, but its alright because they dumb. Cows are sweet and smart, pigs make great companions, and yet its the horses that get the public howling. Figures.

@bridlelessgirl In some ways yes. Some of the pictures are misleading in that they have nothing to do with this topic, and invetro implantation is starting to phase out the need for killing unwanted foals. But the basis of it is truth. Mares are still being treated this way all over this country, all in the name of money. But then we like to leave out the way other animals are butchered for consumption. Real fair huh?

@shazaz2122 Humans do it all the time.

that was sooooo sad i saw one foal on your vid with no legs or eyes it was just laying there how can people do that when i saw that pic i started to cry its just so sad
-
It is sad, but in the commercial industry, it is used when a valuable mare dies and leaves her foal. It's not going to stop, but mostly, the foals are old enough to be weaned (at a pinch) when the mare is taken. I'm not saying it should happen, but also, they don't butcher the foals, and the pic at 1:25 is a West Nile vaccine foal. Born with that (to a non-nurse mare)

Why am I watching these?
How the hell did I get here?

0:35 I love dancing :3 there so cute but that's so sad D:
-
its ad that a lot of the foals are killed. but at least the ones that do pull through, they take good care of ^-^



Unless the babies are NOT killed< this practice should be banned!!! Also, breeding a mare back to back, over and over is not only cruel but it's a sure way to kill her!!! Human beings DISGUST me!!!! I'm ashamed to be part of a species that thinks so little of another!!
