Comment on Lead Poisoning in Shot Animals by quantum_flux

So, the residual from lead shot in meat is dangerous huh? Is there a study on blood-Pb concentrations vs the effects on organ function or on consciousness like there is with alcohol or something? Is lead poisoning something that the body and brain recovers from or is it something that causes permanent damage? How quick are the recovery rates?

In my opinion if you eat anykind of meat (including fish) you can’t say anything about slaughtering horses for food. I love horses, I have grown up with them but I don’t see no difference between horses or example cattle… or chicken, or even fish being produced for food (be it for dog, human or any other species). Human have a long history of hunting and eating animals. Nowadays the ways of killing the animals ment for food is just quicker and more humane.

Many of the posts here seem like the writer is a child and can’t think anything but how sweet and loving and fluffy and cutie-pies horses are. I live in Finland, and we do eat horses here. I even think horse meat is good. Banning horse slaughtering just shows again how “smart” americans are! “Let’s not eat them or produce food for the needing. Let’s breed some more of them and let them starve to death!” ^_^ Yay? NOT! Wake up!

i hate people who think that they can just torture any kind of animal. it makes me entirely sick to know that there are horses out there that didn’t stand a chance into being thrown in a crowded horse trailer, and shipped off to slaughter houses. i am 13 yrs old, and i want to help to fight horse neglect. my grandma bought a horse from this one lady{ i can’t remeber her name} but any way, i was going to ride this horse when we got to the ladys house to see if i wanted to buy her or not.the lady asked me if i wanted to ride the horse in my saddle, and so i said sure. when the lady took the saddle off of the horse, me and my grandma were shocked to see that this horse was incredibley neglected!!! there was absolutley no meat on this horse at all. she was a roan colored skeleton standing there before my eyes. we bought her becuase we thought that we could nurse her back to health. so, my grandma payed 600 dollars for this horse who was arengenley named macaroni. we didn’t think that name suted her, so i named her rose. when we got back to my grandmas house, we put rose in a stall, and gave her feed, hay , and water. today, rose is back to normal health for a horse, and she enjoys being ridden by my papaw. i hope that this story helps stupid people see what a horse can truly do for someone if you take the time and care for it, and give all horses 2ND chances!!!!!!

Horses should never EVER have to die because of human foolishness! If you can’t find a home let it loose. That way it can live a normal life and if predators kill it then it died normally!!! And for hell’s sake don’t chain your horse up outside and leave it there!!!! STOP IT! Its just to sad…..

Gladnews continues…

firstly please correct “…… be patient and unbised, and …” as “… be patient and unbiassed, and …” in the former comment.

the questions that I was going to ask were:

1. What you think about lions, tigers, pythons and other predator beasts with long canine tooths ?
2. Have you ever seen a cheetah hunting an innocent oryx or elk or deer after a long painful chase and eating its live flesh?
3. Have you ever thought that the animals on the earth (including human) as they are divided into two: predators and non-predators (preys)
4. Have you ever made a visit to a wild jungle?
5. Have you ever asked yourself “Why The Creator created harmful and harmless animals?
6. Have you ever thought about the self-balancing Nature?

So many questions are there..

if you find these questions relevent and tried to find convincing answers for them, you will reach in a tensionless life (about meat and blood).

You will find that reason is not merciless and mercy is not reasonless.

Mercy and love are the most gracefull emotions the human created for and blessed with, of course.

Without cooperation, the society is a myth. Without love, the human animal is a mere animal.
A mercy-drained brain will take only over a criminal or psychic.

But…..

Mercy is not the only emotion the human created with.

….
…
sorry…

Let’s take an approach here that seems to be lost in this forum. Reality laced with the truth. First. Most of you posting on this aren’t even old enough to drive. It’s clear as a bell from the content of your posts so we will consider them for what they are, teenage hormonal rants.
Second. Just in the Thorobred horseracing industry 900K are born, one third make it to the track. That leaves 600K. Most fillies will of strong bloodlines will become breeding mare. Same with colts with some reason he is kept from the track. But, on average 300K go into the sport and 300K leave the sport each year.
These are facts straight from Bloodhorse, the bible of thoroughbred racing. Third. As a former soldier in a elite unit, I had the unfortunate rresposibility to work in some terrible places. But let me tell you this, I WILL KILL A THOUSAND HORSES TO FEED ONE STARVING CHILD! You people on this post sit on your leather sofas eating a burger and chastize this industry. I will ive you that it is brutal, but live is brutal. If you were born not that many decades ago, you might have been thanking the good Lord above for the opprotunity to have that protein meal. I am sure that if you grandparents lived through the Great Depression, WWI or WWII, they GLADLY ate horse meat.
I have had to eat horse meat. I was starving in a foregin assignment in the field and a village took us in and THAT was their gift to us..FOOD…which was HORSEMEAT! Stop and think…the United Nations uses horse meat that is processed for storage and later human consumption. Sound horrible? Well, tell it to the child in Niger who hasn’t had not only protein but food in weeks! I said I would discuss reality laced with truth. Here is my closing. If you love things that are slaughtered and are helpless to do anything about it, start making your friends aware of the Genocide in Dafur…I’m not a nut, left winger or have any agenda…I have just recently came back from “near there” and wathched, as an UN observer, Rebels massacre babies, chikdren elders for no reason. Do you think those slaughtered worried about horse slaughter. Get your priorities straight.

gostaria de comprar um cavalo de balanço acima, para criança, quanto custa e como faço para comprar?

Edit:
For English speaking visitors, this is a Portugese comment and an automatic translation tool has translated it as
“I would buy a horse of stock above to child, how much and how do I buy?”

Wow, Renee. I am glad there is someone else in the world who can think further than “You are so mean!” Lots of people living in a world of soft, fluffy clouds, apparently. No one says you have to send old Blaze to the plant. Keep him till he falls apart if you want. But plenty to say you can’t get rid of him. I currently have a old, blind, pony that is really good for nothing. She has a home for now, but when it is her time to go, she will have to go. (not to the plant - can’t ship a blind horse) I know what it is to have a horse for no apparent reason. Sometimes the option is not there. The slaughter outlet is a necessity. Meat is a necessity. We americans do not eat horses, dogs, rats, guinea pigs, snakes and lots of things eaten in other countries. Does that make us superior in some way? Nope. Just quicker to judge.
