Something needs to be said about the BREEDERS too - the start of the problems. There are so many horses used and abuse, in need of good homes and safe care, with good foods . . . Just like dogs and cats, WHY aren't the breeders blamed with some of the responsibility?

oh and one more thing...the cameras being constantly monitored in all plants should be mandatory...EVERYWHERE

I don't know where those of you live who have been bothered by horses being abandoned near/on your property. In the desert southwest however, it's been learned that the hundreds of horses that have been turning up there were refused at the border by the Mexican slaughter plants, and the killers just turned them loose to live or die. Kill-buyers have no mercy for anything - human OR equine.

@BehindTheLiesIsTruth Old science, Babe. Outdated as the idea that the world is flat. No mammal is "scientifically a lower intelligence life form" than any other mammal. The scientific opinions change as they learn new ways to test animal intelligence. Sorry you don't keep up enough to know that. In the very article I mentioned said this was HUGE because no one dreamed horses were capable of conceptual thinking until now.

@BehindTheLiesIsTruth, you know, that's likely a product of genetics. Bad breeding. You may be owners of "stupid" sheep, but tell me, why does the sheep farmer I know not have any problems at all? Have you looked at how you house them? Sheep survived in the wild for many thousands of years before we domesticated them Just trying to change the attitude that stupidity is the norm. WE made em that way. Alpacas can die if stressed, in a medical setting. Is that stupidity?

Too many humans believe we have dominion over animals and carry no guilt to killing for personal gain. Horses have been part of the human journey forever and now we should consider the implications of their fate to ours. check out my documentary Wild Horses In Winds of Change made to raise awareness about wild horses.

@AnimalLeftist We tried but they wouldn't come and take the horses nor would they tell the man to stop. Saying the man stated the horses were a 'nuisance and a pest' that were 'destroying his fences and his crops'. They agreed and won't do anything to stop him, nor will they pick up the animals because, and I quote, 'We do not have the capabilities nor the budget to deal with loose horses. We are sorry.' Yah, we exhausted all options with them and I have lost faith in all honesty

@BehindTheLiesIsTruth, true, there are many idiots that own horses, or at least, owned horses. I guess calling the OSPCA is a waste of time? Never mind, I already know the answer.

Yes.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

@AnimalLeftist We don't make money with horses. My point was that predators are attracted to the dead horses that were on our property becuase of our neighbour taking potshots at them. The predators come for the dead horse then stay and kill our sheep and goats, hence, cutting into our profits. All because some idiot dumped their horses out 'into the wild' because they believed the horses would be able to survive.
