89. where do you think most of the ex-race horses went over the decades?

Feb 2013

horse slaughter trucks pick up at americas horse auctions at every sale. Lot of Americas pet horses are stolen and never seen again. Back about a decade ago a Dutch meat corp. owner exclaimed, "From stable to table in 7 days or less"
After 3 or 4 days of constant stress, short or no feed and water, even the nicest horse looks ragged and poorly treated.

Drugs prohibited for use in horses intended for human consumption. Common meds I have used on my horses.
