Meat truck? Randall this is not the friggin point at all. I am at odds with slaughtering horses and very wishy washy on the subject. In a perfect world I would have super humane ways of destroying horses mandated and allow slaughter. That just isnt ever likely so I tend to be more against slaughter then for it. I just think you should be able to feed your family whatever you want and can afford. Why should someone tell me what I can and can't eat.

The point of the story is that the owners should just shut up and take care of the horse. He made them a ton period.

Maybe if we bred fewer horses each year and had less racing with higher quality this would be less of an issue. But like 101 Dalmations did to that breed human never learn...And I'm not here to tell Japanese people they can't eat horses either. But you can sure as hell kill them humanely which is what should be happening.
