Rescue is more than dogs and cats

I read alot when I`m waiting for a phone call or taking a break from laundry. This morning , I ran across this little piece of inhumanity and would like to share it with you.

I have to wonder, are we feeding our companions horse meat in disguise?
I don`t know one human that eats horse meat nor would they.
I know horses die just like cows but I never knew there was such a disgraceful act involved in getting horses to slaughter. I realize that sometimes a horse needs to be put down and maybe I`m naive in some ways but this is just plain nasty.
I`ll be looking into it further. When Clayton Ruby gets involved in an issue, you can be sure its important.
What to do ? What to do?
