The Old Order of the Horse in Health Care

When the horse fails to produce, its worth as an animal is looked upon as a liability.

In today’s world, a horse is only good for a profit. When the horse fails to produce, its worth as an animal is looked upon as a liability. Too much feed, too much grain, too many vet bills, too big to bury, too small a worth to stay alive in a failing economy.

So the humans in all their majestic quality of life, having authority over the animals, convince themselves that is better to be a dead humane horse, than a live ‘poor quality of life’ horse, because in reality and truth the profit margin of the horse’s owners won’t be met by caring for the life of this great equine animal. How sick of a society have we all become?

Money, money, money… turn an ‘old plug’ of a horse into a profit, by turning this now poor unwanted, non-producing horse (not out to pasture), but into the Europeans next dinner steak or next American can of dog food; if only we humans can just get legislation passed to approve ‘horse slaughter' plants in the USA.  And then all will be well in the land of the American Eden.

Is this really a potentially better solution in a ‘bad’ economy to kill the horses by the hundreds of thousands? At present there are a few hundred equine owners nation wide being unable to properly feed their horses, so they just turn the horses loose in parks, recreation areas, or dirt roads in the hills and valleys because the USA chooses not to profit from equine slaughter extinction in US based slaughter houses. At present there are no legally operated horse slaughter houses operating in the US. Horses must be shipped to Canada or Mexico for slaughter. Sad as this is, does a foreign countries less than humane way of slaughtering horses, justify Americans imposing the same ‘death sentence’ on our horses, as long as it is called ‘humane’ death? This question remains unanswered.

What is truly demented in this ‘pro slaughter’ thinking is the fact that everyone feels sorry for the loss of their profit by not having an American equine slaughter house, no one is concerned about the horse or it’s life in any respect. And sadly it is the professionals who have horse businesses and work their lives around these majestic equine animals that are so ‘in favor’ of slaughtering any horse that does not produce a profit. Could you ever imagine “Roy Rogers coming out for the slaughtering of his horse ‘Trigger’ when the failing economy made it hard for Roy to feed Trigger?

But when good people demand for “the old order of the horse” to remain intact, horses then still stand a chance to live. The ‘Pro slaughter’ people always essentially say “poor old horse owners, the horses are abandoned and turned loose to starve.” “The only solution is to humanely kill them in America”.

But you rarely will ever see articles condemning these horse owners for their thoughtless, heartless, gutless actions of turning an unwanted horse loose to starve or be struck by a vehicle or break its leg in a hole in the open because the economy is ‘bad’ and the owner can no longer feed and care for these animals. No, the humans are never at fault are they, for their thoughts to keep the “profits” of the animals that are so very important these days. It seems to be that an animal’s life itself has no “intrinsic value” in society.

On behalf of the true “intrinsic value” of horses, let me remind you people why it would be so heartless to turn the “old order of the horse” into Europe’s next dinner steak or the next can of dog food in America, and just what the horse has meant to a society that actually appreciated an animal for it’s ‘intrinsic value’ and worth other than a profit, as follows: 

• The horse spread the old settlers in this nation to the south and the west.
• The horse delivered the goods needed to survive like rifles, food, water, shelter materials, and the humans themselves.
• There was trade far and wide for horses. Shoeing, blacksmiths, corrals, stables, coaches, wagons, the U.S. Mail.
• The old order of the horse was valued for the animal itself. You steel a man’s horse, you hung by the neck.
• The horses were used for maintaining the human species, in hunting buffalo.
• This nation went to many wars on the horse. This was the U.S. Calvary.
• A horse or pony was a prize of a little child, whose parents wanted him/her to be happy.
• “This was the old order of the horse in a time which now appears long forgotten.”

But as with everything having a purpose in life and a true value for life, our world changed, and the human species of maintaining the “old order of the horse” has disappeared along with it.

Our attitudes towards the horse are now nothing more than a mere servitude to human’s passion for lust and greed known as ‘chattel”.  A horse is now only good for gambling, racing, rodeo, or breeding for the profit. Turn the fast buck with the fast horse, and to all the other equine, the hell with them, send them to the slaughter to still make a good buck.

Man is doing the ‘unwanted’ horse a service by humanely evicting them from this earth when they cannot “produce” a profit. Therefore the answer of the “Pro-slaughter’ people is to once again humanely dispose of the horses…for their own good of course in American slaughter houses.

The people in this world that have no use for a horse, except to “eat one” or have it killed “to be eaten” or turned into dog food make true ‘horse lovers’ sick to their stomach. There are people in society that still believe in “the old order of the horse.” But alas, these good people who believe in the ‘old order of the horse’ are also a dieing breed, called a human who has “intrinsic value” in the animals and their lives.

Man and this nation thru their manipulative ‘humane’ destruction of a dog’s life, cat’s life and now they want the horse’s life in ‘de-valuing’ their lives, have made humanity and the word “humane” nothing more than a network of new change in time, called “microbes” silently stalking the trail of the horse to it’s end. For what reason or motive do you ask? Simply said, “A profit”.

You reap what you sow in this life, like it or not. As with our current socialist controlled society with a proposed national health care plan to allegedly serve the public good in saving their ‘profit’ by their ‘humane’ and ‘early ending’ of your life, we now go down the same slippery slope as the horse, dog, cat, and animals. Our newly proposed government health care legislation will require all citizens to get ‘mandatory’ senior citizen counseling to explain why these 'unwanted' humans are to be ‘denied’ any medical services to sustain them, as an 'unwanted' and older human in a bad economy. Why? Because life has been de-valued by all these ‘perverted’ laws and legislation beginning with all the horses and other animals. First off, thru the sanction of mass euthanasia of 'unwanted' dogs, cats, pets and animals by tyranny animal care and control laws. Now the same is being sought to ‘humanely’ slaughter the horses in America. Ultimately the Socialists in our government law making positions will sanction the humane ‘termination’ of humans through a Socialist government mandatory health care plan, and eliminate all non-producing humans, who are now ‘unwanted’ and have no “intrinsic value’ to still make the government a profit. What we legislate in law for the animals ultimately will be legislated in Socialist health care for we humans in time as well.

What will you say then, you ‘humane’ microbes?
