Are there too many wild horses out there? 
Is this a regional issue: like the SW and the West?

With some exceptions, animals raised for food and fiber as well as horses and other equids will need approved types of individual or group identification for such travel starting March 11, the Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service announced in a Jan. 9 Federal Register notice. The animals also will need interstate certificates of veterinary inspection or, when shipping and receiving states agree, alternate movement documents.... The regulations will not affect some animals, such as livestock shipped for custom slaughter, chicks moved from a hatchery, and beef cattle that are younger than 18 months old and not traveling for events such as exhibitions or rodeos.
2)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_slaughter
Stolen horses have been sold to auctions, where they are bought by "kill buyers" and shipped to slaughter. Auctions enable horses to be sold without owner consent, by theft^[16] or misappropriation.^[17] According to California Livestock and Identification Bureau statistics, the 1998 ban on horse slaughter in California was followed by a 34-percent decrease in horse theft.

One concern about the welfare of horses destined for slaughter is the long distances the horses are sometimes transported to a slaughterhouse. In 2013, 32,841 horses were slaughtered in Italy; of these, 32,316 were transported from other EU states.

Two bills were introduced in the 112th Congress: H.R. 2966 and S. 1176, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act of 2011. The latter was introduced on July 9, 2011 by Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to amend the Horse Protection Act of 1970 (15 U.S.C. ch. 44) to prohibit the shipping, transporting, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donation of horses and other equines to be slaughtered for human consumption.^[39].

A 1998 USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service survey to determine welfare problems during equine transport to slaughter found severe problems in 7.7 percent of the transported horses; most arose from owner neglect or abuse, rather than transportation. The report recommended fining individuals who transport horses unfit for travel.^[40] However, despite those recommendations, in an April 2011 report on equine transport violations, of 458 violators and 280 cases reported since February 1, 2002, 51 violators were fined a total of $781,350. The highest fines imposed were $230,000.00 on Charles Carter of Colorado, $162,000 on Leroy Baker of Ohio and $77,825 on Bill Richardson of Texas.^[41] A 2007–2015 investigation by Animals' Angels found overcrowded pens, aggression, rough handling, transport with no rest, untreated injuries and no water or food for more than the 28 hours required by law.^[42] On February 22, 2007, Representative Robert Molaro introduced HB1711 to the Illinois General Assembly to prohibit the transport of horses into the state for the sole purpose of slaughter for human consumption.]]> 2018-02-13 14:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/85937/menlla2pjko2/wish/231063566 85937 https://padlet.com/85937/menlla2pjko2/wish/233272197 1) Slaughter houses are not following regulations to keep horse meat safe

2) Neglected and abandoned horses increased greatly when horse slaughter was banned in the U.S

3) The transportation of of the horses destined for death is inhumane

4) The bolt gun used to stun the horse before they skin the horse does not always work due to the fact that it was created for cattle. As a result  some horses are not fully stunned and feel everything when they are skinned and butchered.

5) Companion horses are not good for human consumption due to all of the vaccines and other drugs we put in them that could stay in there system for years and is harmfull to us.]]> 2018-02-20 14:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/85937/menlla2pjko2/wish/233272197 85937 https://padlet.com/85937/menlla2pjko2/wish/233293696 1)
