Petition to ban horse slaughter in the UK.

Totally support the comment made by Yorks SG.

And would also totally support the idea of more slaughterhouses - not just for horses but for all animals and increase the number of mobile slaughterhouses too. I would love to eat meat that's locally bred, reared (pref outdoors) and slaughtered.

Totally support this view. Think it would be absolutely the wrong thing form an animal welfare perspective. Do people really think that by moving it out of the UK it simply wont happen any more???

To quote maxie on another post...

"Better to be humanely slaughtered under Dept of Agriculture & veterinary supervision under EU rules as close to home as possible. Abandonment and/or long distance travel to slaughter is not humane".
 
Can i put the cat among the pigeons, I think that in order to preserve our native breeds it would be a good ideal for us to become eaters of horse meat. We could breed exmoors, or cleveland bays for the purpose and save them from extiction:eek:
I know that a lot of people would horifid but it could be a way for saving these breeds:(

I would be more worried if any of those supporting a ban could string a sentence together that actually made any sense, many of them seem to be completely illiterate!

Yep! Illiterate, and barking - perfect combination to be taken seriously! ;)
 
Well, Ive just been told that UK abattoirs dont treat horses with respect, because they dont bury them afterwards...

...and there's a cracking story on the anti slaughter page Im on on fb, telling of a foal that saw its mothers throat cut so went on a rampage killing 4 men before it was killed (and burried, mind...)
:rolleyes:

Did it not also take a mans eye out!!
 
Quite crazy. We need to keep slaughterhouses open and re-open the old ones, as everyone has said, so that no horse (or other species) has to travel for hours. Can someone clever on here start an opposing petitio? I'll gladly sign up, for one!
 
I haven't read the whole thread but when it was banned in the USA horses were shipped to the HELL of Mexican slaughter houses where they still died but in more cruel circumstances.

And the best bit is the novelist promised to post more 'stories' if anyone liked it!!! FROTFPMSL!!!

Story was the right word!
 
Having a quick read on facebook, it seems to me that half the people are very young, and really don't know what they are talking about.
I won't join and put my tupence worth in, because they are not prepared to hear the other side to their argument, and it would just get shouted down........................ well unless i get really bored later. :D

Why does'nt someone invite the person who started it , on here, see if she can keep up the debate with people with more sense. :)

I am finding it all highly amusing....some chav with quite possibly the most atrocious grammar ever has started to put 10 pence in....
It`s taken me a good half hour to figure out bugger actually means burger!!!
Apparently 180 cows go into one "bugger" that one big effin burger :D:D

The guy who says he works on a farm yet doesnt like killing animals...hmmmm.... I`m going to nickname Sloth, he seems very sloth like :D

I quite like Ross he's the only sensible one on there even if he wants to ban pony pies

QUESTION.

What do you think would actually be achieved by banning slaughter for equines in the uk?

Nothing wold be achieved atm!!! You'd probably have many more ex-racers getting part from piller to post and many more cases of cruelty. But I just wonder why ppl say 'more slaughterhouses are needed' instead of saying the overbreeding issue on the UK needs to be addressed???

Purely on the travel front i believe. Closer slaughter houses, shorter journeys. :)

LOL. I like the poster who says anyone who sees someone slaughter a horse should phone the police!
 
For those against slaughter - I'm assuming they have space to take all the dangerous horses? Ah sorted then!

There are worse ways to die, I'd much rather send a horse to a local slaughter house than have it suffer a lifetime of neglect.
 
Oh yes, loved the 'phone the police' one! Almost as much as a call to boycott the Queens visit to Ireland because:
"Rember what her ancestors done to our ancestors mureded,tortured,and strip us of every thing that we had e.g are launage/religion"

I'm just boggled eyed at it all

Did we take the schools from them too? :shakes head:

I think it's that 'out of sight, out out mind,' thing kicking in. So long as they don't have to see it, it can go on.
