There? are too many horses and not enough homes. Start by gelding everything that isn't an EXCEPTIONAL stallion.

That is why I work with horses for a living and volunteer my spare time at a nonprofit horse rescue. I've known horses that were abused, worked into the ground, and thrown out like the trash. I've known horses that were rescued from one of the? biggest kill auctions in the US after their previous owners thought them useless. The meat man bid on those horses and lost - lucky for the horses. There is a population problem here.

Says it all, I see now, you want a? toy to play with, and care nothing for anyone other than yourself.
There's also no ... By: Syncraftable. on 06 May 12, 16:24:00 There's also no need to create yet another animal that is bred for the sole purpose of being eaten. Cows, chickens, and pigs are cheaper, easier to keep, and more accessible. Horses, like dogs and cats, ought to stay purely pets.. just control their population. There's nothing difficult about? it. There is nothing cruel about neutering/spaying/gelding, nothing at all.. the animal does not suffer from it. Quite to the contrary, in fact.
That tenancy was ... By: ColFeren. on 06 May 12, 16:20:20 That tenancy was caused by our forced selection and by continuing it, you are forcing it to be true, I can only hope, your dedication to it, is caused by your? being to scared to realize the horror of your actions.
I know, I live in ... By: ColFeren. on 06 May 12, 16:14:59 I know, I live in Europe, dispute our profound protests. and again if we change what happens to a horse, we can change how we? kill it, also this has nothing to do with the horse, but with our treatment of it. and I might add that if they are just going to killed no need to pump them full of crap.
Horse meat is eaten ... By: Syncraftable. on 06 May 12, 15:59:10 Horse meat is eaten primarily in Europe and is viewed in most European countries as a delicacy, not something the poor would eat. It isn't safe for human consumption. Horses are born and raised as PETS and are given medications that stay in their body long after the effect has worn off. The way horses are generally processed for slaughter is beyond inhumane. Gelding? a horse is 'mutilation' and should never happen even if it betters the horse's life, but it's okay to make a horse suffer to death?
Horses should, ... By: ColFeren. on 06 May 12, 14:38:39 Horses should, because horses are animals, and are not developed enough to become civilized creatures, and had we not so compromised them, they would? have been nearer to being such, but instead we set them back, million, upon millions of years, after only a few thousand and change them forever. Humans believe, and create their own reasons for life, all the things you note can change this is irreversible. It is not for you to decide, that is for natural selection.
Set them free, or ... By: ColFeren. on 06 May 12, 14:38:30 Set them free, or turn them into glue, it matters not, this is not about them, it is about your ill treatment of them, and if we change this, we can change how they are killed. Also horses (according to the frogs) are edible, so I guess will all those extra horses, we might actually? make an impact on world hunger.

On what grounds, compassion? And I do, and do so in the knowledge, that they are afforded, for their capture and? imprisonment, a life free of fear and predation, without pain or suffering, with every meal provided for them, and everyday are they given the opportunity to run free. While you mutilate those in your charge.

What exactly would ... By: Syncraftable. on 06 May 12, 12:08:49 What exactly would we do with all the 'extra' horses? There's already a population problem. A pretty big number of horses wind up going to slaughter every year because there simply aren't enough homes to keep them - and the way horses are slaughtered is NOT humane. Many, many horses wind up being abandoned or neglected and left to starve because their owners can't afford to feed or care for them. Is that okay with you? Is REAL cruelty okay with you? Because? that is basically what you're saying.
No, you know what ... By: Syncraftable. on 06 May 12, 12:05:47 No, you know what we caused? We caused an overpopulation of horses because people are too stupid to geld their non-breeding quality stallion. The point of ANY organism is to reproduce, humans included. Does that mean EVERY creature should? Should every single human be encouraged to have kids, regardless of their financial situation, maturity, physical condition, or overall ability to raise a child? Should EVERY horse be allowed to or encouraged to? reproduce as they will? That would be idiotic.

I cannot say more, the fact it cannot be depressed, because it is too stupid to understand is illrelivant, if you did that to someone with a certain syndrome, which leaves them with? similar boundaries and emotional paths as dog, they act the same, but that does not excuse your neglect.

By: ColFeren. on 06 May 12, 07:05:01 If people hadn't started stopping most of? them from breeding, that wouldn't have happened, those who are bred to breed have the characteristics that are helpful for that, as that is how they are selected to be mutilated, we caused this, don't blame it for our neglect, let me put it this way, the only point of the life of an animal, is to reproduce, you take away that point, and make it into nothing, it doesn't matter what part of it you mutilate, it is still wrong.
They aren't? meant ... By: Syncraftable. on 06 May 12, 03:42:25 They aren't? meant to live in isolation like that.. but that is how it usually is with domesticated horses. It would be a rare exception to find a horse that would prefer being completely alone to being part of a herd. Humans are the only animal on the planet that think of the male genitalia as being a point of pride and status.. For all other species, it's just part of the whole package. I have yet to meet a freshly-cut gelding that became depressed following the procedure.
It seems like ... By: Syncraftable. on 06 May 12, 03:38:22 It seems like you're trying to say I don't know for sure their lives are better if they've been gelded.? Horses are very social creatures. They live in herds. They enjoy the companionship of others. Stallions have a natural tendency to be more aggressive toward other horses and will attempt to breed any mare in heat - for these reasons, they are often kept in a state of isolation. No contact with other horses, except if they are being bred. If not, they may exist in a state of frustration as well

I'm pretty sure you are paraphrasing Mien Kampf there. Whether their lives are better or not, is Illreliant, you did not ask it, you cannot ask it, and you have betrayed it, by neglecting it in your care. You make it your slave, you have no honour. This creature has been bread for over 5,000 years, and for the same reason dogs can me mistreated and still love their masters, just be cause it? bears you no hate, does not make it right and it never will
MsAnorma is right. ... By: Syncraftable. on 05 May 12, 18:48:14 MsAnorma is right. MORE than 90% of stallions should be gelded. If they are not a truly exceptional example of their breed, there is no point keeping them intact because they should not be bred. Gelding a horse is better for both horse and human - human because it generally mellows the horse's temperament and makes him easier to deal with, and horse because it allows him to be turned out with other horses. Stallions? usually wind up living very antisocial lives with no equine friends.

"MORE than 90% of stallions should be gelded." I'm pretty sure you are paraphrasing Mien Kampf there. Whether their lives are better or not, is Illreliant, you did not ask it, you cannot ask it, and you have betrayed it, by neglecting it in your care. You make it your slave, you have no honour. This creature has been bread for over 5,000 years, and for the same reason dogs can me mistreated and still love their masters, just be cause it? bears you no hate, does not make it right and it never will

MsAnorma is right. MORE than 90% of stallions should be gelded. If they are not a truly exceptional example of their breed, there is no point keeping them intact because they should not be bred. Gelding a horse is better for both horse and human - human because it generally mellows the horse's temperament and makes him easier to deal with, and horse because it allows him to be turned out with other horses. Stallions? usually wind up living very antisocial lives with no equine friends.
