17. Because, that would be like slaughtering a slot machine, and that's just wrong.
It's just because people are nuts. This outcome of the ban was widely predicted. The problem is, the same people who argue for not killing horses (because "they're just like people! ... that we keep as slaves"), are often the same ones who are all for using the animals for sport and amusement, no matter how abusive that may be. Those "sports" only exist because of their association with gambling. I just assume that it's because some cognitive abilities would have to exist before a cognitive dissonance could take place.
