Many Americans are up in arms about everything these days. I'm about letting people do what they wish with their own property as long as it is not hurting other people (other than their fragile sentiments). I don't like that this is happening. I wish all the horses could retire to frolic in a field somewhere and be fed premium hay. I wouldn't want a horse that I own going to slaughter but what other people do with their horses is their business. And I don't see how the distinction about whether an animal is raised for food or not matters.
