An unfortunate fate for animals bred for greatness: a career beginning on the racetrack and ending at the slaughter house.

Unbelieveable that we will support entertainment that uses animals that are barely two years old and expect them to survive such a grueling task. So sad to see 15 horses injured or dead just for our entertainment. This is so very wrong.

The New Mexico company, Valley Meat, drew complaints over a two-year period from federal inspectors and state regulators over its disposal of remains when it processed cattle for beef. The New York Times reports.
If it could not operate safely slaughtering cattle, what in the world makes us believe Valley Meat could humanely slaughter equines? They could not even take care of the cattle carcasses.
Excerpt:
“The complaints included a 2010 letter to state health officials from an Agriculture Department inspector reporting that piles of animal remains were as high as 15 feet high along the back property line of the plant. “I am told that during fly season the pile literally moves due to maggots,” wrote Ron C. Nelson, the district manager for the department’s Food Safety Inspection Service in Denver, who took pictures of what he saw.”

A wild horse and burro adoption is being planned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on November 8 and 9, 2013. The wild horses and burros are the highl
Henderson, NV, please share. If you are not aware of this, when horses and burros are NOT adopted after three attempts, they are then eligible to be sold via auction in which they are usually sold to Kill Buyers that take them either to Canada or Mexico for slaughter. You can thank the Burns Amendment for that nasty piece of legislation. As an American Taxpayer, you should be absolutely outraged that you have supported and protected these animals using your tax dollars, but yet, a private individual will profit off of their bones. Wicked indeed.

King Amendment needs to go. Any business that deals with animals as food really should welcome anyone into their business and be very proud to say that they treat those animals with respect and kindness. Why would any business be afraid to allow that? Unless that business has something to hide, right?
Excerpt:
“He further stated that his proposed legislation “will ensure radical organizations like the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and PETA are prohibited from establishing a patchwork of restrictive state laws aimed at slowly suffocating production agriculture out of existence.”
And then on the same news page, FSIS stating they are going to implement “humane handling”? How in the hell are you going to do that with the limited amount of staff and budget? But you could certainly count on advocates to do that for you by alerting FSIS of any cruelty, as long as the AG gag bill is not in place, which is another issue all together.
