THESE IMAGES ARE TO GIVE YOU A REALITY TO BEHIND THE SCENES.
THE DEATH OF THESE HORSES WILL HOPEFULLY SAVE THE LIFE OF ANOTHER.
This horse was beaten on its way to the slaughter plant.
This horse got its leg stuck in an illegal double decker cattle trailer - (the horses have to be alive until they reach the slaughter floor) - so they are cutting its leg off with an axe - THIS HORSE IS MOST LIKELY ALIVE.
Horse Remains - CANADIAN SLAUGHTER PLANT
It is not uncommon to see them get beaten. A few never make it to the slaughter plant - they die on the way.
This horse was neglected
for a very long time.
This mare was a race horse - her photo has been used to campaign against horse slaughter.
Foals are sent slaughter also.
Mothers and babies. Sometimes the brood mares are still producing milk, weanlings as young as a month, sometimes they are sold to the meat buyer as a package. Sometimes this is how they wean the baby - by sending just the mother kill or sending just the baby kill.

THE HORSES PRAYER
Feed me, give me water, and care for me, and when the day's
work is done, give me shelter, a clean bed and a wide stall.
Talk to me. Your voice often substitutes for the reins for me.
Be good to me and I will serve you cheerfully and love you.
Don't jerk the reins and don't raise the whip.
Don't beat or kick me when I don't understand you,
but rather give me time to understand you.
Don't consider it disobedience if I don't follow your commands.
Perhaps there is a problem with my saddle and bridle or hooves.
Check my teeth if I don't eat, maybe I have a toothache.
You know how that hurts.
Don't halter me too short and don't dock my tail...
it's my only weapon against flies and mosquitoes.
And at the end, dear master, when I am no longer any use to you,
don't let me go hungry or freeze and don't sell me.
Don't give me a master who slowly tortures me to death and lets me starve,
but rather be merciful and take care of me,
by letting me run and enjoy a warm pasture.
Let me request this of you and please don't regard it as disrespectful
if I ask it in the name of Him who was born in a stable like me.
Amen
