Most horses that end up slaughtered are
bought by killer-buyers acting on behalf of the slaughterhouses. Sometimes
these horses have been abandoned by irresponsible owners who no longer
wish to care for them; more often, owners surrender their horses to a
person who promises to care for them but then sells them for slaughter.
And many have been stolen by horse thieves or rounded up by the Bureau of
Land Management which although charged with protecting wild horses
facilitates their being sent to slaughter instead.
The horses' pain begins well before they
reach the plants. They are transported in unspeakably inhumane conditions
in crowded trailers, unprotected from heat or cold and deprived of food
and water for a day or more. Many do not survive or arrive at the
slaughterhouses too injured or sick to stand. Abused, terrified and
desperate, they are killed by a captive bolt gun, which shoots a metal rod
into the horse's brain.
