I am afraid that the letter had quite the opposite effect the sender had hoped. It was an earnest plea and on another soul it may have sparked outrage and caused it to rally to the cause. On paper I am a promising target. Horse owner, subscribed to several horse magazines, and occasional donor to the HSUS. Young and female may also kick into it

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Interesting perspective! I admit it's not something I've ever really thought about.

It's been quite controversial among the horse industry at large. It appears that those deep in the horse industry tend to be more pro-slaughter (or at least view it as a necessary evil) while those with a more casual involvement or just like the idea of horses tend to oppose slaughter.

It's an interesting dynamic, but unfortunately the horses are the ones left with the consequences whichever way it goes.
