Burying the dead animal is for the peace of mind of the human not the well being of the dead animal, it is dead. Whether it is feeding insects or pets makes no difference to the dead animal. I see no problems w/ butchering for meat any animal horse included.
The medical points...
Most of the issues responsible for the shut down of all but the one horse slaughter operations in the USA had everything to do with the way it was being performed.
There were guidelines in place outlining the methods that were to be used, but instead of adhering to them, many many companies...
A thought.
How many people raise their horses with butchering someday in mind? Not many, I'd guess.
So... say a 10 or 15 or heck, 30 year old horse..... thats 10 years worth of Ivermectin and other wormers administered to that horse once a month, or at least multiple times a year... 10 years...
