Horses slaughtered in FL?

I agree with this issue 100 percent. If it is food, by all means, eat them. I dont have a problem with it if you need to feed your family, including your pets.

If it is for other purposes like satan and all the like, NOPE! If it is for pure entertainment to see a horse suffers, NOPE!

But they are stealing people's horses. That can never be right. It isn't right to steal your neighbor's horse to feed your family, I am sorry.

or have a special permit to do that?

Our city officials decided that every dog and cat breeder who breeds a litter or two a year, must file for a permit. Without it, they will enforce you to spay your animals or lose them and fine you.

This would be a good tactic to use if one is breeding animals.

The rescued stallions are gelded (neutered) and the mares aren't...usually. (Though mares can be altered but it is not common.)

See here I don't believe animals were put on this planet just for our taste buds. Humans are animals too, so why can't a panther or bear decide he wants a 2-legged snack without being killed for it? You may not like that idea but thats how I think of people. And when a person poaches when its out of season they get a fine and maybe a little slap on the wrist. Human populations are way out of control and we are worse than these horses, and they are just gonna keep going up up and away, who's keeping us in line other than disease? We just want the horses gone because they are on land WE could be using why don't they get any? Sorry I'm ranting now I just had to say what was on my mind not getting mad at anyone these have been my thoughts for awhile and people usually get mad at the idea.

Do they fix rescued horses at humane societys? I think they need to start to fine people who breed horses, dogs, and cats.

I am not sure about females but stallions are gelded usually.

I like you cetawin, have lived here and still do. I too believe its a ritual also. Florida, especially south Florida, has many, many people from all over the world and they DO sacrifice animals of all kinds. They need to stop this killing! I know that other countries do eat lots of different things and such, but here in the US, we do not. He said that they saw puncture wounds on the neck, to have them bleed out!? He even went on to say that it takes a while also!!!

How in God's name could someone say that is humane? Just sick is all.

I think part of the issue is that mares are more risky and expensive to spay. It can and has been done, but it's not widely practiced. Many people will breed their horses for the simple fact of wanting "a baby". I currently have a beautiful black QH stallion, great pedigree and beautiful color, now in the hands of someone else, he'd be turned into a stud.

Simply because people think great colors and papers are all that matters. The fact that this horse has a "slight" case of cowhocked in the back would be overlooked. Me, he is due to be gelded.

I hope to have a few horses to breed on my future homestead, but it will be for quality and not quantity.

I've known people who have had horses they picked up at the auction to breed every single one of their mares to their paint stallion just to get some pretty colored babies. And they were pretty, but many times they weren't sound, one even died of lethal white.

Well nothing else that is being tried helps. Look at the numbere of puppies, kittens, dogs and cats that are put down annually or worse, the number abused, malnourished or living in absolute disgust.

Good for you. Wise choice. He will have a long healthy and productive life, while not reproductive. I gelded a wonderful pedigreed, fast, awesome baby thrower after one breeding season. I achieved the foals I wanted for my personal herd and gelded him.
