Horses Are Thought "livestock" And Don't Have Exactly The Same Protection Underneath The Law As These Categorized As "companion

Creatures" such as for instance cats and dogs. To be in a position to provide food for international locations we'd not slaughter our cats and dogs. Sadly, horses come beneath precisely the same category as cattle. What do you think about? If the law be modified to incorporate horses as companion pets?Browse the following post:http://www.avma.org/onlnews/javma/jan08/080115a.asp

Yes, they should change the law, sooner the better. Horses when trained can be a most reliable friend. One doesn't hear much about this. I live in Canada, west coast, and was unaware of horses being processed here north of the border, and very sad to learn of it.   One thing is, I'd like to suggest:   http://www.thepetitionsite.com/create-online-petition   ... you can create a PETITION in www.care2.com where they have ongoing petitions for hundreds of worthy causes, environmental and animal. It might help to gain support for your cause.   Best of luck!         goldie080 62 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment. Please verify your account to give a compliment.

There's little to be done to stop the sales to Mexico. Since the European market for horse meat is strong and the slaughter houses are mostly in Mexico and owned by European companies, according to the link, it would seem to be almost a world problem, involving the U.S., Mexico, and European importers. Where's PETA when you want them?

No, but the law should be changed to allow the harvesting of cats and dogs. Protien is protien.
