Liberal Democrat Progressive, all around good leftie President Obama has approved of horse slaughtering in this country again.
The whole subject is rife with opinions. I recognize that we are in the midst of a national changing view of horses and that there is going to be controversy.
Are horses pets or livestock?
How are they different from cows?
If they aren’t then how are dogs different?
Should it matter that people choose to abandon their horses vs euthanize them when making these decisions?
Should it matter that people choose to ship their horses to Mexico vs euthanize them when making these decisions?
Should we make decisions based on the basist of human ways?
I’m not sure, but I do believe that if you own a horse now, then you are “rich” enough to set aside $300 to humanely euthanize him/her when the time comes vs selling them down the road to neck knife stabs in a Mexican slaughterhouse.
Similarly if you have a kid in this country, you are “rich” enough to plan to feed them a sandwich.

But I’m a bitch.
