The horse animal abuse right from when they leave their home. get loaded onto a truck. When they get to the auction, terrified, hit with whips, rods....crammed into a holding area, no food, no water....the ones that the KB buys,back on a truck....crammed again, can't lift their heads, falling on slippery surface. again no food no water....maybe rest at a collecting station and I am saying MAYBE.
Then loaded on a truck again for their final destination. On line at the slaughter house, smelling the death, hearing the agony, then their turn....captive bolt, hit or miss execution, stabbed in the spine...some hung up still alive......THE HORSE COMPANION PET ,GETTING ABUSED AND BUTCHERED. THIS IS IGNORED BECAUSE OF THE MONEY INVOLVED.....SAVE THE HORSES.
