Saw a sick story. I have mixed opinions on this one, but the strongest feelings are of disgust.

To sum it up, the plant, Dallas Crown, found here: http://www.dallascrown.com/pages/1/index.htm
provides american zoos with carnivore diets, and also providing food for humans in Europe and Japan, where horsemeat is considered a delicacy. The plant claims to slaughter horses which are old and beyond their working life, but videos just shown on the news tonight recorded by Humane Society supporters show otherwise. They show young, youthful horses being tortured. They are killed by workers shooting a steel rod into their head. Now don't get me wrong, I am in no way a tree hugger, but this I do not support. We don't kill dogs and cats in factories here for human consumption, why horses? I saw this on the news and it started to turn my stomach and just wanted to make a post. What do you guys think about this?
