Horse Slaughter Makes Me Sick
Once again here I am, astounded with the disgusting nature of people (and republicans for that matter).
A 34 year old ban on the slaughter of wild mustangs in America was lifted by congress all thanks to congressman Conrad Burns of Montana and their army of assholes known as the republican congress. Personally I can say I don't think horses are food. Not for people anyway. This was another dirty dealing between republicans, farmers, and the slaughter industry that goes out and disgraces humanity.

Yes I am a vegetarian, an animal rights activist but more importantly I am a horse enthusiast. About once a week I take a trip to the Los Angeles Equestrian Center to visit some old friends. Some with two legs some with four. Anyone who has spent any time with these creatures knows they're more than just cattle for the French. Besides being the backbone America was founded on, they are VERY intelligent, empathetic, and therapeutic.
But to hell with all that, you cannot tell me that shooting horses for sport or food isn't just sickening.
