The continuation of horse slaughter is based on the demand for horseflesh on the dinner tables of Europe and Asia. It is driven by profit and motivated by expediency, not by any concern for the humane treatment and welfare of the horses.

Logic and decency dictate that those who earn their living "on the backs" of horses; those who love and respect horses; and all those with humane values join together to end this unsupportable practice. To accept the slaughter of horses as a "necessary evil" is to validate the position of those who would place a greater value on the bottom line than on life itself.
