Another display of non-existent moral values…

Alright, so August started off great in the horse world with the whole Oleander poisoning event in California. Now, I came across this post on another horse blog, Enlightened Horsemanship Through Touch (which, incidentally, is a fantastic source of well written horse information). My view on humanity just keeps taking the hits.
Has anyone in Florida here heard about this? I know I tend to be a bit behind the news and all, but really. This has been going on for some time and I’ve heard nothing about it. Apparently horses are being stolen from private properties and slaughtered for horsemeat. Check out the link for the full story. Right now, I’m just speechless. I can’t even count the ways that I find this disturbing.

Sickening, isn’t it?
Thanks for linking to my post.
I hope they’ll figure it out soon. And feed those people, even if it’s in jail.

Agreed. Thanks for the info, Kim!

Killing horses for meat is just not something I am good with on a variety of levels.

Most especially when they are someone’s beloved pets! I was just appalled by this story – I think I’ve heard it all now.
