No place to goIn this economy, horses are

not selling, you can barely give a horse away for FREE, and the increase in costs for grain and hay are skyrocketing. Under these conditions, many horses have no where to go, but to starve. Adoption agencies for horses are full, and most are not accepting any more horses.

What is better for the horses?

To starve or to be taken to a slaughter house?

QUESTION:

Page 14: My story  alexandra smith

ANSWER

Slaughter houses provide food and care for a horse before they are slaughtered.

The process of slaughter is painless, in most cases horses do not know that they are even going to be slaughtered. The parts of the horse will be completely used and will be put to good use. This option provides a great way to save horses from starving and being neglected.

Help us help them

• Keep slaughter houses, they give the horses worth and value.

• Slaughter houses give a way out for injured, neglected, and starved horses that have no where to go.

• Stop over-breeding

• Choose adoption
