Between my son and I, we own 4 horses. Way to go Montana. When they die, are just too old, or just too many in the wild for their own good, why not. The same people who complain about the starving children in the world, are some of the same ones that fight eating horse meat...What?
At work we bring draft horses from Canada to Japan, and none of them come back.
There's places in the states, (thousands of them), where a horse that dies of old age is just buried on the property. What a waste.

Bet that would make good fisher and marten bait.

[b]A lot of the ARA folk are pushing to have horses put down by lethal injection. Once that happens they can not be used for any animal consumptive purpose. The ARA detest use of animals as food and use lethal injection as a pretense that they actually are concerned for the horses humane death. You don't see HSUS protesting the long drive by tractor trailer to Canada and Mexico because they are more concerned with humans benefiting from profits on horse sales. The same problem is evident as Australia sends sheep on the hoof to the middle east for slaughter rather then Kosher kill them in Aussie slaughter houses and send the FROZEN meat to the middle east.. The ARA refuse to accept the reality that in both the Horse trade & sheep trades they have made things worse for the animals as they face long trips over ocean or land top far away slaughter houses.[/b]

did everyone forget the great state of Montana borders Canada? Conrad is only a hour from the Canadian Border. Only one thats going to be able to stop them is Canadian Customs. Thats how they'll get around shipping.

ship the meat to Canada and then to their respective country from there
