Im about to go on a random rant, don't hate me for what its says cause im not lying, most of it is backed up by true facts from the meat buyers themselves

I just got reminded that pida existed!! Shoot ME! Those people make me so mad! Don't attack me for my oppinion, but if it wern't for then all of our good riding horses wouldn't be going for slaughter in foregin countries, Not the cripples, man killers, by-products, and other unfortinuate horses, the useful ones. Wake up and smell the coffie people! Sutting down the slaughter plants has almost destroyed the horse industry.

I've seen some of the nicest horses go for meat without a chance. Riding horses that just need a little TLC, gone everywhere. Think twice before you sell a horse, make sure it goes to a good home. And don't sell cheep, the kill buyers are looking for the cheep ones.

The pita people have good points but the extremity that they take things can cause more problems then good. there are quite a few examples i can think of off the top of my head. They need to think about the whole picture, what might seem like a benifit for some can be a killer for others, the horse industry now, hows it affecting trainers, breeders, everyday horse owners, feed dealers, everyone involved, its not good. And what about, the i think it was the wild horse and burro act and the affects of that, the problem that resulted was horrible, then the actions to reverse them were worse, mass slaughter. Read dayton o. hydes autobiography you'll read all about it from a first person perspective.

Its everyone not just PIDA, its just the only name i know to put a blame to, they have great points, i agree with them in many cases, its the dramatic way they go about changing things
