In the article there was a comment "horses are livestock" which I guess was trying to justify this and if they are livestock that makes it okay. Not that it does make it okay.
IMO, horse are not really livestock in this day and age. Maybe they were in the "Wild West" days, but anymore they are pets.

GREAT so we can put you down for saving and taking say what 500 or 1000 of them...anything less really would not help..and I assume you have friends that could take that amount too??
Or let me ask you..how much are you planning to send to help keep all these guys alive $50K this year? Oh and you have several friends that can do that too?
get real

What exactly is your problem? Good grief, take a valium.
I simply said that I don't agree with Horses being considered livestock. Excuse me for having an OPINION.
How about you try to work on CONTROLLING the horse population instead of just offing them when there gets to be too many? We use "fixing" for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc... why not horses?
Because horses getting loose and breeding is not that big of a problem. Most people have control of where their horses are and what other horses they're around.

Pay attention really closely...these horses were from a town called "Atkins"
See where I'm going with this...They must have been on that low carb diet!

Thanks for all the red 
It's nice to know people care SO much. (Have the balls to sign it, however)
Now... I didn't support any legislation you idiots. I didn't even know there was any legislation. I didn't know anything about the slaughterhouses.
I was just saying, that you can generally abuse/mistreat livestock and face no legal consequences. However, if you abuse/mistreat pets, you can face legal action. SO, if horses are PETS - then the idiots who starved them should face up to the crime in the legal system. I wasn't talking about slaughterhouses! I was talking from ANOTHER point of view on the pets/livestock issue. Did you know there are often several angles to things - not just ONE point of view!
You people are crazy.

People who mistreat livestock most certainly do face legal consequences...

I have heard of all types of abuse towards other types of animals. I even heard that some people have been caught spanking monkies! What a shame...

Oh, I'm sure I'll get reamed for this .....but I don't think Tinkerbell's comments had ANYTHING to do with slaughter. She was saying that she feels horses are pets, not livestock. (An opinion with no baring at all on slaughter since her entire post was about abuse of animals...not slaughter.)
So, whether her opinions are shared or not they were only about abuse...not slaughter.

so correct me if i'm wrong, there's only one slaughter plant for horses open in the us - in illinois the two in texas having shut down? are there slaugher houses in canada? do they buy horses from US auctions?
i vote for opening a horse slaughter plant in every region of the country to make the transportation more humane. that article about the us thinking like a 14 year old girl is so true. then there could be auctions which the meat buyers would be invited to, and it would be publicized they'd be there. can the us population handle that? probably not. .. check out http://commonhorsesense.com
