Horse Slaughter Speech
As stated before, the previous ban on horse slaughter in America expired in 2011 under President Obama. This ban made the slaughtering of horses in America illegal, however it still allowed horses to be shipped overseas to foreign countries to be slaughtered. This ban was never removed, it just simply expired. In 2015 a new bill to ban horse slaughter was introduced to congress. This bill is called The Safeguard American Food Exports Act, or (SAFE). This act would alter many acts such as the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act, making all horse parts unsafe. This act in addition would also outlaw the export of U.S. horses and horse meat bound for slaughter and human consumption. Horse meat is most popular in France, Belgium, Italy, and Japan.

    Banning Horse Slaughter

    In the United States, horses have never been raised for human consumption, but our horses have been bought and slaughtered by a predatory to high-end diners in Europe and Asia. The suffering begins before the horses reach the slaughterhouses. Horses can be left for long periods of time packed in trailers. When the horses are herded through the plant to get slaughtered, the workers use fiberglass rods to poke and beat their faces, necks, backs and legs as they are shoved into the kill box. Until Congress passes a legislation banning horse slaughter into law, show horses, race horses, foals, wild horses and family horses will continue to fall prey to this industry.…

    Horse Slaughter Should Be Banned Essay

    In the 1700’s the Spaniards brought horses to America, prior to that the United States only had signs of the horse in prehistoric times. The horses were able to repopulate well and became a prized position to people across the land. They provided new abilities and were a status symbol for many. Over time they have become overbreed and have become a financial burden with the cost of care going up. In many cases people are not able to provide a sick or injured horse with proper vet care and other options like euthanasia or being put down by bullet may not be feasible for an owner. Horse rescues across the nation are having to turn away horses because they are full or not able to provide the funding to rehabilitate the horses or provide with basic care. In many states it has become very costly to dispose of a horse carcass with the laws prohibiting burial or have unreasonable laws of how to bury a horse carcass. As horses go uncared for kill buyers are able to purchase horses cheap either from the owners or at auctions and send them over the border, the horses are subject to slaughter procedures the United States is not able to regulate or protect the horses.…

    Horse Slaughter Research Paper

    Horse slaughter is a commonly unknown issue to the public but yet an important issue. One reason horse slaughter should be legalized is it would reduce equine neglect cases and thus reducing the need to rescues. People tend to breed two random horses together in hopes someone will buy that horse, but in reality people tend to buy more horse than they really need. This means the below average rider will buy the above average horse which leaves the below average horses unmarketable. From experience horses are expeive to keep, due this and the fact below average horses are difficult to sell, people tend to reduce care on these horses. This reduction in care increases the neglect cases along with the need for rescues. By legalizing horse slaughter in the United States horses bought at auctions would not endure hour long trips without food and water before being slaughtered. There is one major auction in…

    Horse Slaughter Research Paper

    In the American society, horses have become more of a domestic animal rather than a wild animal or just work animal. Because of a horse’s ability to show emotions, and their ability to form relationships, horses are becoming more and more referred to as a pet, just like any household cat or dog. This change in perspective towards horses has made it difficult for many people to accept allowing horses to be slaughtered for their meat as a food source. Most people cannot imagine slaughtering their own cats or dogs, so many people refuse to accept the slaughter of horses. Also, it is possible that the amount of horses being stolen in America will increase, so they can be sold for slaughter right here in America. This does make lifting the horse slaughter ban a bit of a gamble on rather or not it will actually improve the horse industry in…

    What Is Horse Slaughter Inhumane

    There are also people like me that believe horse slaughter is inhumane and merciless. You can easily find a job that doesn't involve chopping horses’ heads off, there are also other ways to find a source of income. Why would you kill a horse for its meat. People are fine with eating fish, pig, and cattle, but those animals are not considered pets. How would you feel to have your dog cooked and served to you at dinner? That is how horse lovers feel about horse slaughter. Slaughter also leads to an increase in abuse. “Horse meat production is not always done in a humane manner and the animals are often subjected to conditions that are very poor.” (Occupy…

    Essay On Horse Slaughter

    Are horse slaughter houses humane? The term “horse slaughter” refers exclusively to the killing and processing of horses for human consumption. When looking up synonyms from the online source thesaurus.com for the word “slaughter,” words like murder, bloodbath, and destruction come up. Horse slaughter is not humane euthanasia. While “euthanasia” is defined as a gentle, painless death provided in order to prevent suffering, slaughter is a brutal and terrifying end for horses. Although there are no legal slaughter houses in the United States, American horses are being trucked over the borders to Mexico and Canada to be taken to open slaughterhouses; that is only part of the issue. The other issue is that hundred thousands of horses are taken across the border each year because of uneducated horse breeders and horse owners. By educating owners about proper rehoming and expanding adoption, horses can be given a long happy life they deserve. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) documented that, “92.3% of horses sent to slaughter are in good condition and are able to live out a productive life.”…

    National Farmers Case

    In 1996, the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a progressive neurological disease, widespread in the United Kingdom. After that a link between this and a variant of a particular disease affecting human beings ( Creutzfeldt-Jacob) has been discovered, the European Commission adopts Decision 96/239/EC prohibiting British exports of bovine meat to other Member States and third countries. This Decision is based on Directive 90/425/EEC and on Directive 89/662/EEC, related to veterinary checks applicable in intra-Community trade. Subsequently, the Commission issues Decision 98/256, repealing the previous Decision and later amended by Decision 98/692, authorizing the resumption of exports of some bovine products from UK under a Date-based Export Scheme (DBES) and providing for the necessary rules in order to protect the public health.…

    Endangered Species Speech

    “DOOMED” was the headline on the front page of the United Kingdom newspaper, the Daily Mirror, in 1961. The article explained how rhinos were doomed to disappear from the face of the earth due to man’s folly, greed, and neglect. Rhinos once roamed many places throughout Eurasia and Africa and were known to early Europeans who depicted them in cave paintings. Long ago they were widespread across Africa's savannas and Asia's tropical forests, but today very few rhinos survive outside national parks and reserves. 52 years after the article we find that the diceros bicornis or the black rhino is indeed doomed. This rhino has been named critically endangered with a population today of only 4,848. These rhinos are found throughout southern and eastern Africa including Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Angola. My knowledge of the black rhino has increased dramatically due to my interest in endangered species. I became interested in endangered species when an advocate from the World Wildlife Foundation came to my school in 8th grade. Ever since, I have kept up with their website and read articles on what this incredible organization is doing for the advancement of endangered species. The St. Louis zoo is home to three black rhinos named Ruka, Kati Rain, and Ajabu. Ruka was born on January 14th, 2011 and was the first black rhino born in the St. Louis zoo in twenty years. In 38 zoos across the nation there are a total of 60 black rhinos. Although humans pose numerous threats to this critically endangered species of rhino, there are many conservation efforts being started to help increase the number of rhinos in the future.…
