Review for LEARN: Livestock & Equine Awareness & Rescue Network, Ravenel, SC, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I find it troublesome that the rescue's leader, Elizabeth, supports horse slaughter over euthanasia, as she states in this article. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/51894332/ns/local_news-charleston_sc/t/horse-slaughterhouses-could-affect-south-carolina-equine/#.UZb8z7_ko5x

To quote Steed: "The chemical that we use to put these horses to sleep never goes away, it stays in ground water and is poisoning the ecosystem," Steed said. "people understand recycling and if they could look at this process as recycling these animals instead of 'slaughter'... and use the byproduct of them for something... it would benefit the ecosystem.""

Horse slaughter is not a form of "recycling" and a 5013c non profit equine rescue should not be a proponent of horse slaughter. Steed is also the head of the S. C. Horsemen's Association, which appears very similar to the pro-slaughter organization United Horsemen's Association, founded by Sue Wallis, one of the most vocal proponents for the return of horse slaughter to the U.S. If anyone is unfamiliar with Wallis, just google her name.
