Horse slaughter is a necessary evil, but the ways in which it is carried out are appalling. These inhumane practices must be put to a stop in order for slaughter to remain legal. If you were to go to a meat auction, you would see tiny pens crammed with horses. Some are healthy, though most are extremely malnourished. The sight of all 105 of an animal’s bones poking through its skin is disturbing. Many times horses are given no water, very harsh on an animal that usually requires water at least every 3 hours. The pens are often on concrete, which is usually covered, sometimes knee high, with manure and mud. Often times the pens themselves are death for a horse. A lot of cheap scrap supplies go into their construction, and broken pieces of wood or metal are not uncommon.
