How Do American Ranchers Raise 9,2 Million Horses - American Farming

[@gameofayaz1402]

It's heartbreaking to think of horses being raised for slaughter. These beautiful creatures deserve better.

[@Dwayndibb]

I suppose wild animals in Africa will meet harsher death by Lions and such. I kind of like these animals aren't being hunted daily by their predators.

[@jekimjo]

@@DwayndibbYou really don’t get it, do you? 🙄

[@tony98discovery]

Yes, the beauty of wild horses needs to be preserved

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Unfortunately as horses cannot be slaughtered in the USA, tens of thousands are annually exported into Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered there. The transportation is unsupervised and slaughter, especially in Mexico, is often very brutal. Out of sentimental reasons Congress didn't allocate money for the supervised slaughter of horses in the States like for cattle and the results are inhumane.

[@nogames8982]

That is true. I don't want to see horses slaughtered. But I also don't want them to be crammed on the trucks and hauled thousands of miles and suffer a terrible death. At least in the USA there are guidelines and laws and some regulation of the slaughter industry.

[@tony98discovery]

Do you eat horse meat?

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

@@tony98discovery Not here in the USA, but back in Bavaria/Germany I would occasionally eat horse sausage. I had horses there, too, and when one had to be put down, I called the local horse butcher, the horse would be slaughtered right there on the farm and then , after a very short drive, be processed in his facility. The European Union meanwhile has restricted distances that livestock is allowed to be transported to slaughter facilities to only a few hundred kilometers. Our system does not only create inhumane conditions for horses, but for cattle , hogs and even poultry, too. Think about the so-called downers among transported cattle. This whole system needs to be de-centralized again, not just for the benefit of the animals, but also for the farmers and ranchers who now are at the mercy of a handful of huge processors. It's not right when four or five big companies control 80% of the meat market. I have lived in the USA now for 31 years and all of my horses that died ended their lives here on the farm.

[@k.wilki0392]

@@klauskarbaumer6302 Too many drugs in horses. It’s also been proven that it’s highly ineffective to kill horses the same way they do cows. They suffer greatly. I know other countries will consume horses, but I don’t ever see Americans doing it. Heck, they’re wanting us to switch to bugs!!!! 🤮

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

@@k.wilki0392 I am not suggesting that Americans should start eating horses, but I know that present policies inflict more harm on horses than if slaughtering horses in the USA were permitted, regulated and supervised. In this case, like in some others, the US could learn from Europe, where distances that livestock can be transported is regulated and horse slaughter facilities are not so far apart.

[@claudiasmith8742]

Hi

[@nogames8982]

There's a big distinction between these large horse ranches and the wild horse populations. Many of the wild horses are starving to death, especially in the south west where there is such a severe drought.

[@tony98discovery]

How do you feel about this process of raising horses?

[@loribaker8339]

Tony 98... the video of the mare keeping other horses away from her foal is probably not how you described it. The stallions are trying to breed the mare. It's called foal heat. Mares can get pregnant with another foal within about the first 2 weeks after foaling. Also, since in the wild, there may be a reason she's keeping other horses away, is because there could be something wrong with the foal. Stallions have an instinct about them that if they sense there is something wrong with the foal, they will grab it by the neck and shake and toss it to kill it. They will also strike the foal with it's hooves until it dies. I suspect that is what is happening here.

[@jerritrahan9149]

Corn and soybeans are not exactly good for horses as a main feed. Also I noticed the wild horses had better weight on them than the farm horses. I could see a lot of backbone on farm horses.

[@jerritrahan9149]

Whoever is talking needs to learn more about animals before he makes another video. Too many things he said are wrong.

A friend of mine raised bison. They are magnificent creatures. But they are very hard to manage because they walk through regular fencing. They require special care. When there was a forest fire and they had to evacuate literally the only place to take the bison was the local rodeo grounds in the rodeo arena itself because it was the only thing that had bars strong enough to hold them in.

[@tony98discovery]

Have you been to that bison farm?

[@nogames8982]

@@tony98discovery yes. Only once though. We went to visit because they had a calf that the mother rejected. It was her first calf, and she had no idea what to do with it. So they kept it away from the rest of the herd till it was big enough to integrate in. it was great to pull up in the driveway and have a little buffalo come running out to you :-) when she hit about 800 pounds they put her in with the rest of the herd but until then she was just a big yard pet.

[@tony98discovery]

@@nogames8982 It's great that they keep bison like a pet

[@nogames8982]

@@tony98discovery well, they were kept like cattle. so it is a business. They do send them off to slaughter. But they also care about the animals. but their share size makes them extremely dangerous and they never really do tame down. that little one was back to being a wild buffalo within a week of heading back into the herd. Which is what she was meant to be.

[@ms55938]

You need to some research. Thousands of horses are rounded up by helicopter every year and put into holding pens where they live until either adopted or they die. They do this because the government leases federal land to ranchers to graze cattle and the ranchers do not want horses on it. Our government in their infinite wisdom decided to start a program where they pay adopters $1,000 once that adopter has kept the horse for one year. That has led to thousands of horses being sent to slaughter once the year is up and the adopter has collected their $1000. Some people adopt multiple horses and just turn them out to pasture for a year. Thousands of branded mustangs end up at auctions, in bad shape, only to be bought by slaughter buyers and shipped to Mexico or Canada where slaughter of horses is legal.
