Horse Sells

What are horse farms to do? It is becoming harder & harder to move any stock for a decent price. Even higher quality horses are very hard to move right now. What are larger farms to do when they can not move horses ... while grain, hay, & fuel prices rise? Is the horse industry slowly dying? What changes can be made?

An Epidemic of Abandoned Horses from Time Magazine

An Epidemic of Abandoned Horses

article from Time Magazine.com

"People who protest slaughter ought to have a bunch of these old horses starving to death in their backyards."Colorado State's Grandin, who helped refine standards for humane livestock slaughter, says Americans have an "ick" factor when it comes to the idea of horseflesh, equating it, she says "killing and eating pets." But, Grandin argues, "the problem is, these are 800- to 1,200-pound pets. When they shut down those plants, I said we've got to avoid alternatives worse than slaughter. But we have not, and all my worse nightmares have come true."

I HAVE said it before, but I have never said it louder: The true danger of the urbanization of America has nothing to do with paving prime farmland with concrete and everything to do with the urbanization of our nation's thinking.

We've all voiced our frustration about the kid who doesn't understand where his milk comes from, but the disconnect truly runs much deeper.

I was recently contacted about an "abuse of justice" in Michigan. While investigating the original incident, I have since learned about two cases in Michigan that started in a similar manner.
