"Could someone summarise the situation? I've no idea" Horses are being badly mistreated before being slaughtered which isn't humane at all... It was on the news in the last couple of days... | |||

"Could someone summarise the situation? I've no idea Horses are being badly mistreated before being slaughtered which isn't humane at all... It was on the news in the last couple of days..." They are also having their documents falsified, and been sent abroad for consumption when having been undeclared unfit for consumption here. Tags, chips and documents all being changed | |||

"Mt sketchy knowledge: Horse industry is worth billions, stud fees can be 100s of thousands of euro. However when animals come to end of life there is only 1 abbatoirs in Ireland. Horse meat is culturally not considered edible in Ireland but is elsewhere. There are issues of cruelty to animals in the 1 abbatoirs that we have here. Secondly horses are sold to overseas people when the horses are at end of life and sometimes butchered in 3rd countries, even though they are marked as not for human consumption. They havnt been bred or managed or tested correctly for human consumption. Horse passports are easily forged or mismanaged - paper not digital system, horses can be declared dead but in fact shipped to another country. The system traceability is poor. These animals that were once worth do much are filtered into a poorly traceable butchering system, they might have been medicated etc during their lifetime for issues that would mean they are not fit for human consumption.

"I’ve been to that factory with a mare. It was a bank holiday and it was a Friday when I went. I refused to leave her when I saw the conditions of the horses inside. So loaded her back in the box and left. The conundrum for an owner who cares about the welfare of its horses even at the end of life is it’s the only factory in the country so you’ve no options! " ......... There is an alternative equine end-of-life option. Euthanasia by a vet and disposal of the carcass through a licensed knackery. I used this method recently and it works efficiently but it costs horse owners money rather than making money by going through the horse meat route. | |||

"Didnt see the program as I cant watch cruelty but I do remember another program on greyhounds with the same issues.It seems acceptable to treat cattle,sheep,chickens and pigs in the same manner as we eat them doesnt it " greyhound industry has had a total revamp since that programme rehoming is massive now and a percentage of price money is taking from every win to aid this also breeding has decreased by 50%. I use cattle factory a good bit n no sticks are allow past the gate cattle are on rubber mats as opposed to concrete . Welfare has improved dramatically over the past number of yrs just such a shame the one horse factory we have in this country couldn't be run properly with 2 or 3 department people working in there be paid €70000/€80000 . These individuals have questions to answer. | |||

"In the programme it was the “animal welfare officer” in the factory that was beating the horses and giving them new microchips, changing their markings and making up new passports. " And as such now shall face criminal charges! I am one myself so I know the duties and responsibilities, but also the penalties. They will be struck off and will face prosecution and banned from working in any licenced practice again. | |||

"I have zero knowledge and experience of horses... But I do have experience of dealing with livestock that are "end of life" and have always used a vet to euthanise and taken to a registered disposal yard where the bodies are disposed of safely. I can't see a good reason not to do things that way. The costs involved are quite small." Mr glad to hear it! There are other ways to do this, and you can receive training to do this yourself, or other service providers exist, all legal and licenced. I'm not commenting further than I've said. But your 100% do it right or quit, get out, and the state will face serious backlash, must ring a few people later on when I finish up just to wreck their heads. Backweaston will be buzzing! Lol good enough | |||
