“Saving Horses from Slaughter Forever!” Equine Voices Sanctuary Karen Pomroy~Episode 2
Today’s episode with Karen Pomroy of Equine Voices Sanctuary is critically important to increasing our awareness around horse slaughter. Many people do not even realize that horses are sent to slaughter. As sad (and for me completely unacceptable) as this information is, we need to be educated.
Show Highlights:
- Horses sold for slaughter, shipped to foreign countries for horse meat
- 3 slaughter plants in U.S. now shut down
- Inhumane treatment, completely UNconscious
- The important, crucial difference between slaughter and euthanasia.
- Karen initiated a “euthanasia fund”
- Biggest reason for the number of horses going to slaughter in the U.S. is OVER-breeding
- People need to take full responsibility for the life span of their horses
- Make plans for the “retirement” years for your horse as well as how your horse will pass from this life
- Education and Solution Based Action are key
- Equine Voices can help give you viable options, PLEASE contact them to be sure you know your choices

Horses are part of business plans and they have jobs. They require time, fuel, maintenance and equipment. When horses can no longer perform their job, they should not be “set free” to starve and destroy private and federal lands. That is genuine animal cruelty.
Horses deserve the respect to be put down in a quick, humane, REGULATED way. Euthanizing them only means over dosing, and if they have an allergic reaction that pain can be worse than slaughter. If you do not like how the slaughter was performed, fix the real problem, the regulations.
