I know this is awful but it is happening everyday to all the animals we eat. ( not me, I am vegetarian) Generally the conditions for farmed animals are worse than for horses and their lives are shorter. Don't get me wrong, I don't condone horse slaughter and the video is horrific but i don't know why it is okay to eat some and not others. Well done for posting this video on You Tube. People need to be made aware of the true horror of the slaughterhouse.

it shocked me.. but i guess its reality. just like the animal farming etc.
There is no justice, but really its us humans that help with the breeding , we also destroy through neglect or injury, sometimes by over working etc. But at the end of the day, the fear on these horses face will haunt me for ever.
Staffsmum.. i have to agree, it is VERY haunting, it has played on my mind since the first time i saw it!
Hence i did advice not to watch it unless you are prepared for what you are about to see.
RIP,..and the suffering is now over. xxxx

Well, I'm a veggie and I watched it, I do remind myself at times of why I dont eat meat, this is a waste and I just wish we didnt have to eat any other living creatures, god we are intelligent enought to figure out we dont need too.. I'm glad you posted this though

I cant watch it, Im frightened I might see Toby on one of these. People who watch and even go to these places, are so brave imo. But I just cant.

Sorry I really can't watch it - still have awful pictures in my head of the horses being slaughtered so brutally in Mexico - still makes me cry when I think of it....
((((hugs)))) Iceberg x I agree - the people that can go to these places to raise awareness are amazingly brave - not something I could ever do

Iceberg-Never think like this, Toby is alive and well and happily eating in a field unaware the heartache you are going through. I feel someone knows who he is and won' say, together we will find him

I'm afraid that in Europe (I am in France) horses are not taken care of as well as the traditionel meat, such as bullocks. They suffer terrible conditions in fattening yards being beaten about and there are the mares with their poor babies and being fed quick fix fattening food. Many of them have the most severe cases of laminitus so they suffer that a long time before they ever see the terrible meat lorry more often than not going on the longest journey( the Italians pay more) in atrocious conditions to the ultimate hell - by this time it is a welcome release from the torture of living. Absoutely agree with previous posting - DO NOT BREED - RESCUE

It has taken me days to get up the courage to watch it. I too felt I had to. I now feel sad and empty inside such beautiful animals its just such a waste in my eyes but not everybody has a passion for horses like we all have on this dg. To me eating horse meat is unthinkable. I would rather they used a bullet so that it was instant instead of that stun gun thing that bit was horrific. Thankyou for posting this I now know what happens instead of imagining all sorts in my head.
