Posted on Thu, Sep. 26, 2002 Equine slaughter Legislative debate grows on processing horse meat in U.S. By BARRY SHLACHTER Star-Telegram Staff Writer The last roundup for tens of thousands of American stallions and mares ends not far from Fort Worth's historic Stockyards.
Proponents of the bill suggest that this will effectively end slaughter of horses in the United States and prevent slaughtering of U.S. horses in neighboring countries. Opponents of the bill say that this will cause only more suffering for those horses which are unwanted or unusable for physical or behavioral reasons. |
Horse Slaughter Imagine yourself inside this slaughterhouse. You are seeing what the horses go through as they approach their violent death. You first spot the horses in a holding pen, standing depressed and confused on the slippery concrete floors. Suddenly, they're moved to a chute and lined up facing what's called the "kill box." Now, depression has turned to terror. What you see is unmistakable. The horses are trembling violently and urinating on themselves. The horse has an acute sense of hearing and smell, well beyond human development. The smell of death is palpable and the horses are reacting with panic and fear. They clearly perceive they are next in line for horrific pain and death.
You see the horse; you've been following, funneled into the death trap. A slaughterhouse worker wields a mechanical instrument. Suddenly, the man brings it down with force on the horse's skull. It is a retractable bolt that fractures the horse's skull, but doesn't always render the animal senseless. The horse's bone fragments are driven into the animal's brain along with the bolt.
The terror and pain the horse experiences at this moment are unimaginable. The aim of the bolt is NOT to kill the horse, but just to immobilize the animal with the force of the blow. The horse collapses either on the first, second or the third blow. The horse falls onto a conveyer belt, where one hind leg is entrapped in a device that lifts the horse in the air UPSIDE DOWN...STILL ALIVE!!! This device hangs the horse, it's head dangling toward the floor, STILL ALIVE, and then it's THROAT IS CUT OPEN, so the blood will drain out until the animal's heart beats for the last time. They're bled to death, which is what is required for the horsemeat to be certified for human consumption. |
