"Horse slaughter is the way by which irresponsible people get rid of their unwanted horses quickly and for a profit. Every year, well over 140,000 equines from the United States are slaughtered for human consumption to satisfy the taste for horsemeat in Europe and Japan where it is considered a delicacy. Currently, these equines are being transported across the Canadian and Mexican borders where they are slaughtered and their meat is then exported overseas selling for between $15 and $25 per pound. While there are no horse slaughterhouses operating in the US now, that could easily change due to a movement by the small, but powerful special interest groups that have successfully blocked passage of federal legislation banning horse slaughter for nearly a decade.
