Ring Potters/Turners, they'll tell you.

Last i'd heard it was around 90p kilo for TB/WB types and 60p kilo for pony pies.

NP, are you a horse lover? i ask as your posts are totally devoid of any emotion, i do realise that there has to be an end for the poor wretches who are not wanted, but it seems its just a business to you,rather sick making even though we farm!!!

 

[jhoward]

somebody asked for prices NP gave that. somebody asked her a question she answered that.. seriousley people can not win..

the dartmoor pony sales start next month would you like me to tell you about the cute ickle foals that head off to the incinerator? FGS! just because somebody has knowledge and speaks the truth doesnt meen to say they do not have any emotions to an animal..

i love my husband but if i could send him off to longleat and gain a few pounds id do it..

People breed horses for meat. That's a fact. Its a legal legitimate business. You cant get emotional about it. I'm a vegetarian so, of course, don't agree. But if I put my full emotional energy into every unjust business I saw - i wouldn't have much energy left.

Do you getr emotional about Daisy the cow you send of for slaughter?

 

[Ranyhyn]

Rosie c'mon, horse, cow, sheep, chicken...what's the difference?

So long as the animal is killed humanely I don't think any of us really care - other than those vegetarians who wont wear leather etc..they are the only ones who can really be called - animal lovers... the rest of us use them - in our different ways..

rosie..

yes, i'm a horse lover
and when any of mine need to be PTS, Then yes, i'm "devoid" of emotion as its not a subject i like to dwell on...but it has to be done
i'm also practical, and as you know, where there is livestock, inevitably there will be deadstock. fact of life isn't it?
a business...what is my business? i no more own an abattoir than you do rosie..in fact i dont even own a farm, so you're one up on me for raising meat animals.

Ha we sent a cow off this morning!! i objected mainly at the callous phrase""pony pies" actually, and i am no fluffy bunny either!

 

[flyingfeet]

I got £250 for a 3 year old Hanoverian, was a bit disappointed! He was around 500kg and was charged £50 for pick up.

Kitty, do you like pony pies?

no, rosie, you object to everything i say....

 

[nativetyponies]

i've eaten horsemeat..cant say i was that enamoured by it though..tasted like strong venison.

 

[Tifferss]

no, rosie, you object to everything i say....

I thought that - and someone who "haha" about sending a cow off for slaughter is somewhat strange to me. I dont expect her to cry in her cornflakes but to "haha" and calls someone for being heartless....?

 

[lochpearl]

What a ridiculous comment Rosie. NP answered a question and there was no need to get all fluffy with the answer. Pony pies was making lightheartedness of the question so I in fact think you are wrong that NP doesn't care, it goes to show they do.

As for a vegetarian, I am one and as Kitsune rightly mentioned - what is the difference between cow, sheep, pigs and horses. As long as they receive a human end what's the problem.

Jeez some people just have to come in and ruin everyone's posts!

so true

 

[Tifferss]

so true

dont get me started - "down girl DOWN" lol

 

[rosie fronfelen]

ok ok, iam a horse/pony lover, have held horses while they were shot, many years ago, had our old pony shot here last year, i was NOT saying ha to the fact that we sent a cow to mart this morning, but that i know it is a fact of life, i do not disagree with everything that NP says, if she wants to think that then she is free to do so- i do object to folk saying they sent this and that off and got x pounds for it etc, just like that, makes me wonder if horses are just a commodity. so who is next to shoot me down in flames?

 

[Tifferss]

surely your business makes animal slaughter a commodity, so i just dont see your point. Why do horses in your eyes deserve more respect than other animals?
