Gordon Ramsay Gets Dumped On

[ QUOTE ]
I spoke recently to a local man who has worked in slaughterhouses, a gruff taciturn individual not given to verbosity, he was relatively unresponsive about most aspects of his job but when I asked him about horse slaughter and how did he feel about it he looked in to the distance pity in his eye, “yes terrible” he said, you could see how frightened they were, neighing, ears back, eyes rolling, they were scared you see, they could smell the blood and sense the fear!

we use a captive bolt if we can get close, if they are quiet, but we use a live bullet if the horse is a bit “nasty” because you can stand further away”

Substitute 'panic stricken' for 'nasty'. Then use your imagination

- Every four minutes, a horse is slaughtered

If you are going to copy large chinks of text from websites it is generally a good idea to reference the site you have used, otherwise this is plagiarism. Furthermore the site you have quoted from does not refer to horses slaughtered for meat.

HBII - Out of interest, would you then be happy to have your pet dog (or cat, whatever you have) end up on someones plate? Going by your philosophy, as long as our pets have had a good life, why not eat them afterwards?

Nope, totally different - all of the meat I eat are herbivores (well, they should be, if they were not fed odd crap

) - dogs and cats are carnivores - BIG difference.
 
Not the ones I eat, they are reared on a 100% meat free diet, and pigs may well eat worms and insects but if they have grasses, etc available then they will choose that over meat (according to my uncle who was a huge pig farmer).
 
It was not the issue of eating horse meat that upset me but the fact that JSP chose to do her peice in a provocative way - at Cheltenham! It is well known that JSP thinks horsey people are one and the same as royalty - and she openly despises royalty. It was insensitive and unecessary in my view. Sure, tell us about the benefits of horse meat but don't dangle it in front of the noses of alot of people who also happen to love the animals and are unlikely to indulge.

GR also took the mick out of that WAG for being a veggie which is a bit unfair. Yes, I know it was meant as a joke but just cos someone doesnt eat meat (for whatever reason) they shouldn't be ridiculed for it.

If people in this country actually took their horses to the abattoir they would know that their long life friend never went through the shipping process - we owe them that surely?

what-you would actually take one of your horses to the abbatoir to be killed ?? !!! sorry if i misread that.
 
I certainly wouldn't take mine in fact neither will end up being dispatched by that method or disposed as pet food either. Heaven forbid I would never, could never transport a horse to an abbatoir mine or anyone elses

Both mine will be cremated when they eventually die.

i couldnt take mine to an abitior either, when the time comes, it will be the vet with a captive bolt at home then the hunt kennels.
 
Will you all please leave PETA alone! They do tremendous work and help to give animals a much needed voice. Mind, you all this criticism doesn't really surprise me. I've spent many an hour browsing through the H&H forums and was appalled at what some of you "animal lovers" will condone.

I also know for a fact that my boy's last moments will be with his head in my arms with a softly spoken goodbye and a kiss. He'll go only knowing love and kindness. He will NOT end his life in terror, hearing the petrified screams of his brothers and sisters before their skulls are fractured with a bolt, nor will the last thing he ever smells be the blood of his fellow equines. And he will NEVER end up in the stomach of another creature.

How anyone could ever wish such a cruel and barbaric fate upon another being is well beyond me!
 
But people keep all sorts of animals as pets!!! A friend of mine has 2 pet sheep!!! People have cows goats chickens etc etc as 'pets' most people definatly wouldn't eat their pets but if an animal, regardless of type, was bred to eaten and not a 'pet' then in my opinion thats what it should be used for. Different people use the word 'pet' differently many people wouldn't class their horse as a pet as it has a job to do, just like working dogs and animlas bred to eaten.
