Since there are no places to take unwanted & un-usable horses (like SPCAs for cats & dogs) we need a feasable bottom line floor alternative for horses. I would like to see Pet Food companies go back to using horse meat in their products. The existing pet food contains ingredients that cost more than the horse meat would cost and it is so inferior that pets will barely eat it. The ingredients are gross! I would much rather see a horse of mine become used (eaten) by people or pets than to be buried, cremated or sent to a landfill to contaminate the invironment. If I could find horse meat, I would buy it for my pets.
There are way too many horses to simply expect people to re-home, retire and rescue them all. They cost too much for up-keep and live for an average of 22 years. This is an impossible situation that will cause more and more suffering by horses. It cannot be wished away by putting in more laws about cruetly and neglect.
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?
