HR 503 would protect horses at the expense of production agriculture by Angela Xu, Jul 31, 2008 (7:22pm)
This bill would make it illegal for horses to be slaughtered for food. Although horse consumption is illegal in America, many companies export the horse meat to Europe and Asia, where they become delicacies for gourmet diners. Supporters say that the US horse slaughter industry is driven not by actual market demand, but by animal cruelty. According to them, the horses are transported and slaughtered under abusive and appalling conditions. Many of their arguments also appeal to strong emotional attachments that Americans feel towards horses. On the other hand, the bill’s opponents argue that horse processing should remain a viable option for management of surpluses of unwanted and abandoned horses. They also say that giving emotional considerations too much weight would result in unjust regulations on production agriculture, economically disadvantaging the entire industry.
