That’s actually very responsible. Our local slaughter house man does care for his horses very much, but in order to save the ones he likes he lets the old and sickly go to slaughter. It can be an ugly business, but he’s saved more horses than any humane society around here.
Coffee anyone ?

In some culture horse meat is highly thought of as delicacy. Personally I think it's weird but i didn't think of them as a meat animal.
I had a friend eat horse meat while traveling. Apparently it is awfully stringy and slimy. I’ve always preferred street food over delicacies lol.

I am debated about saying this but i am going to. FFA as ugly as the truth can be or as much as we dislike something either about ourselves or our families its better to tell the truth. I am a Christian and a Jesusfreak as my name suggests. I not a fan of lies period even white lies. My family most of them don't care for me and the ones that do will tell you i am a blunt person. I speak my mind and I have found that most people prefer that and the ones that don't can't be trusted much anyways. You have to decide what kind of person your going to be you don't have to like everything your dad does but lieing and making his choices some how change who you are they don't. There his choices not yours and you need to give your self some grace. You need to speak the truth and also decide how your going to be known as and make a decision to be the best you. And I person would suggest reading the bible if you need guidance it has always helped me.

I don't think of them as meat animals but if it comes to ____ or high water I would have 1,000pd in the freezer.lol 
As for the canceling of the slaughter practice in the U.S. it was the worst thing possible for the horse industry. Prices have just come back after 10yrs. Many horses starved because you couldn't take that old half dead dink to the sale and get $200 from the kill buyer and get $200 in feed for the rest of the now 1 horse lighter pasture. And the dink slowly dies in the back yard or you spend more $$$ for the vet to do it. Spend $$$ or make it. Some people started dumping horses on Gov. land because they couldn't afford to feed them.

My heart wants to save them all and have them live happy, wonderful lives. But the reality is people over breed them, and some get old, and some get injured or sickly. And it’s just not a reality.
