Okay, the short and sweet of it is I am in favor of slaughter in the US. I saw the posts about slaughter (Anita Getaclue, pretty funny...). In my wordy and unwieldy post about the glut of horses, I explained why I'm in favor.
In our touchy-feely society today, horse slaughter is 'out' but we seriously need it to help bring the glut down. Overbreeding must stop but we live in free society and there aren't any laws that I'm aware of to stop someone from breeding their horses. So we have consequences of too many horses and not enough homes.
I still can't find the article about the slaughter houses possibly opening on the res's but if I find it, I'll post.
