    Slaughter Houses

    I'm not saying that I support Slaughter(i hate it really badly) but out of curiosity how many slaughter houses are left in America.. I think I read some-where that said only three slaughter houses are left...... how many are there? oh yea if you know how many slaughter houses there are in the world that would be great.. Horse slaughter houses I meant this whole entire time... And again i do not support slaughter, Never did, don't, and never will.

    I don't know how many, but I know (from reading) that they make $62 million a year. Mainly from exporting horses meat to Europe. (I know in Europe eating horse meat is quite 'regular' and for example a dutch person - I mention these because I'm formerly Dutch, so I know - wouldn't think twice to buy horse meat. Some see it as a delicacy. Truly very strange. I've never tasted it, thanksGod.

    100,800 American horses were slaughtered in three foreign-owned slaughter houses in the United States. Those slaughterhouses are the Dutch-owned Beltex, Dallas Crown Inc., and Cavel International, Inc.
    See? I hadn't read this even....

    Here you can find more information about the horse-slaughter industry. And, if ever anyone try to find fumble excuses for it, don't believe it: it's all about money. Nothing else: cruelty for money.

    Re:Slaughter Houses

    I heard of a lady in my area who used to breed and sell her horses for meat. We are in New Zealand and I know 1 person who tried it and she didn't know what it was and was really upset when she found out it was horse. She said it was a nice meat but felt ill from guilt after eating it as she is a horse lover thru & thru... inch: The lady who was breeding for purpose of selling for meat made a lot of money and is still breeding horses but now she sells them as unhandled, unbroken to people.

    You know when I'm on Dutch forums there's nothing 'special' about horse meat. Like 'it's just another meat' - I was very surprised when I started to find that out, because from my youth, living there, I really cannot remember even 1 time having eaten horse meat. Just to think of it makes me wanne puke.

    How is that in Australia? In the US? Is horse-meat a 'regular' meat?
