Thanks for the link. There's been a lot of debate about the slaughter issue here. I've been told that, Of states that do not have a racing facility, NC has the highest horse population. I personally do believe that the abuse/neglect problem is growing here if nowhere else. Particularly in light of the economic situation. Also, we just came out of a severe drought and hay was in short supply and selling high when the horse slaughter was stopped. Killed the horse auction market here. I think the folks that ramrodded this through were well-intentioned, but not far-sighted enough to see that they've actually made things worse.

Of course, I'm sure our HSUS friends are about to solve this problem any day now...

Still waiting..

Oh, what was I thinking? :shock: :roll:
