Horse Slaughter

Oh, you want their approval first? Well, let me go ask Mr. Ed if he would kindly oblige and be on my dinner plate tonight. LOL. Now if he doesn't answer, can I still eat him?

Well, I prefer to wait for at least a quick equine nod of the head in the general direction of a dinner plate. You can't expect these horses to speak English, you know.

Maverick,

Thank you for the info...as a horse owner, you can be sure I support the bill.

In reading the bill, however, I am reminded that there are many products we use on horses (worming medication, fly spray, etc) that specifically say "Do not use on horses intended for consumption" , or something to that effect.... what are the chances people consuming horse meat are ingesting those toxins as well?.....my guess is, the chances are very good....

Oh, then you're the right person to ask this. With regard to what to use on horses, would you suggest mustard or mayo?

Whatever you do, don't stand behind him when you are asking him. He may nod in the direction of the plate but he'll also kick you out the back door. Then sell your body for scraps. LOL.

Quote from Maverick74:

My problem, and this does not just apply to horses, is the brutal torture of any animal.

I do not support horse slaughter. I'm saying that I'm willing to accept it if it's done in a humane manner. If it were up to me, horse slaughter would not exist. But it's not up to me.

I have been spending the past 16 years or so trying to figure out what a "compassionate conservative" is.

Thanks to you Mav, now I know!

Peace (as always)

Why do you even want to continue living?? Would take a hell of a lot more joints and Heinekens every day to make eating like a rabbit tolerable

Actually, no longer contributing to the animal holocaust is really no big deal at all, you don't miss anything when you join the ever increasing number of innumerous people just saying no to barbaric murder and who decide to no longer consume brutally slaughtered animals, just check out some vegetarian dishes on the web, you really and truly won't miss anything at all.

Quite to the contrary.

Matter of fact, you start feeling a lot better. Dead animal stays and rots in your intestines for months, if you no longer eat that you'll not only feel better, but also statistically go the doctor 20% less than your fellow carnivores.

Also, you'll start looking much better, with a much clearer complexion.

Plus, you'll even start smelling much better than people who eat animals.

It's win/win.

Why do so many vegans look like minions of Dracula in need of a serious withdrawl from the blood bank?

I'm not vegan, matter of fact right now I still eat fish although that might change at some point, and very happily, I might add, I also bear little if any resemblance to Dracula or his minions

I think though that vegan Paul still looks quite ok and un-vampire-like as well:

"Ex-Beatle and longtime PETA supporter Paul McCartneyâs collection of animated short films contains new music, stunning animation, and messages about being kind to animals. Read McCartneyâs Q&A with Entertainment Weekly and buy your copy of the DVD through the PETA Bookstore link below.

Entertainment Weekly: One cartoon has animals fleeing to a carnivore-free island. Hunters wonât be buying this for the kids.

Paul McCartney: But huntersâ wives will, to get the guys to stop it. Iâve been on that kick for a long time, and it is my point of view that it is a good thing to be aware of animals. I mean, they are our fellow inhabitants on the planet. But the other great instigator that way was Walt Disney. â¦ Think about Bambi, Dumbo, The Fox and the Houndâthereâs a lot of animal awareness in Disney films. Itâs a great tradition Iâm following. And letâs face it, itâs cool to tell kids to respect animals.
