*Horse slaughter and transport is inhumane.
*Horses are companion animals, the same as cats and dogs.
*92.3 % of these animals are healthy and in the prime of life. This is not "euthanasia."
*In a sample of slaughtered racehorses, 100% had been given the drug Phenylbutazone, which is a banned carcinogen.
*The majority of domesticated horses have been treated with medications that make their flesh unfit for human consumption...Phenylbutazone, Ivermectin, Kopertox, Clenbuterol, and insecticides.
*80% of Americans are opposed to horse slaughter.
*Horses are abused at such facilities. Video footage exists of horses being whipped, prodded, repeatedly impacted by bolt guns (with eyes hanging from their sockets), shackled and dragged while struggling, hoisted by chains, limbs being severed, being bled out...ALL WHILE STILL ALIVE!
*Pregnant mares give birth on the kill room floor.
THIS HORRIFIC ABUSE OF COMPANION ANIMALS MUST STOP.... BAN HORSE SLAUGHTER NOW!
