The HSUS, actors and animal advocates, and those from the agriculture and horse industries met at Capitol Hill to put pressure on lawmakers who haven't already signed on to The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act.

  • Slaughtering horses is sooooo wrong.

  • Horses need to be considered social animals and not commodities. I mean, we don't ride them anymore. I can't imagine how I'd feel if I had a pet horse and it ended up on a plate.

  • I don;t think it's illegal to eat ANYTHING in the US; you just cannot market it here, that is what is illegal. Thanks, Obama, for turning back the clock and sentencing innocent trusting animals that are NOT raised as food, to a horrible death.

  • one more thing, it's ILLEGAL to eat horse meat in america.

  • @Yonks14 your right, but atleast if we can get the least types of animals slaughtered. theres nothing we can about cows but atleast if we can prevent the slaughtering of horses,

  • @Yonks14 YOUR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THEY ONLY SHOW YOU WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO SEE. THEY DON'T SHOW THE GOOD FARMS AND HOW THINGS ARE REALLY DONE. THEY POINT OUT THAT ONE FARM AND GET EVERYONE WOUND UP AND NOW EVERY FARM IS "LIKE THAT". I'LL BET THEY WON'T APPROVE OF MY COMMENTS HERE BUT SCREW THEN. THEIR NOTHING BUT HOME GROWN TERRORISTS.

  • so why does no one want to save cows? Its acceptable for them to be slaughtered in massive numbers but god forbid we eat horse too! I know people love them and yada yaaa, but lets face it, Horses are animals, they have meat, people eat meat. Obviously this video is going to show thw the shittiest conditions, and the horses that are in the worst condition, but its not all like that.

  • Pass this damn bill already and end this disgusting exploitation!

  • If the horses are stopped from going to the slaughter houses, what is their fate then? Are we to let them roam free and overpopulate themselves, which they already are? I don't agree with inhumane slaughter houses, but if they could be put down humanely, would that be a different story? Sadly, slaughter houses are a necessary evil. What needs to be done is taking action with the breeders!

  • Horse slaughter sickens me deeply. A lot of these animals are loving and sound to be companions and atletes, to teach people about themselves and bring joy to us. And we repay them with inhumane slaughter? I love horses, I ride and care for a number of horses. Even when they aren't sound or a horse that's not very talented, they have a lot of value.

  • You can sign the petition to stop this on the care2 website!!
