Hey .. this was sold as a means to take care of sick, crippled and abandoned horses, remember? So, humane euthanasia was supposed to be the pretext for this bill.
The point is, the very moment you create a profitable enterprise out of this "act of compassion", it no longer is an act of compassion, and the wholesale slaughter for profit begins ... which is the real agenda.
That's what we are trying to explain to you ... but it looks as though that is an act of futility.
Okay,gotcha.
Horses can be killed when no-one is making any money.
You don't mind the horse being killed,you just don't want someone to make money.
Domestic sheep and Bighorn sheep belong to the same genus.
Sorry if you are deciding horses are indigenous to the USA,then so is a domestic sheep.
Or you could just be as arbitrary with this as you are with eating animals.
What the hell difference does it make? You wanted a solution for the 170,000 unwanted in this country today. We absorb them, and stop the breeding and iimporting of horses without a license. Done.
Soooo, are you admitting to eating your grandmother as you posted earlier?
No, you have me confused with you. You are the recipe person .. the flamer .. the rhetoric generator who thinks EVERYTHING is game for the dinner table. Not me.
I don't even think we should eat horses, so certainly grand ma would be at the table, not on it.
And what does this have to do with horses, exactly? Or whether horses have lived on the North American continent off and on for 3 Million years?
It shows domestic sheep are indigenous to North America,just like horses.
Well moreso,as sheep never went extinct here.
To those in favor of euthanasia:
Quote:
Method: Lethal Injection
Pros: Merciful Methods
If done properly, is less violent in appearance; bloodless; quiet; and humane.
Cons:
Only one type of drug-barbiturates-shuts down the brain first, before shutting down other bodily functions. Other products (such as T61 and succinylcholine) cause a heart attack or paralysis and suffocation, so are meant to be used on a horse under anesthesia.
Some vets don't have the license to carry barbiturates, which are classified as controlled substances. The other drugs are cheaper and safer to carry. (The licensee is responsible in case of theft or misuse.)
Regardless of drug, administration requires expertise: it must be given via vein or heart injection, either of which requires skill. If the needle misses the mark, the drug won't work and can cause a violent and painful reaction.
Prompt and proper disposal of the body is critical, either by deep burial, cremation, or a renderer. House pets and wildlife can sink into a coma after consuming relatively small amounts of tissue or blood from a barbiturate-injected body. Note: Regardless of euthanasia method, local ordinances and sanitary district laws must be consulted before burying a horse.
And what does this have to do with horses, exactly? Or whether horses have lived on the North American continent off and on for 3 Million years?
And what does the number of square yards a horse needs to have to live to do with obama signing a law allowing the slaughter of dumb animals called horses exactly?
