The glut of unwanted horses has not been proven. There are stories attempting to prove this. Skewed reports capitalizing on the emotional interest . The foreign -owned slaughter plants provided little economically to the locality, whereas, rendering houses are better business. Furthermore, horse meat should be rendered into healthier dog foods making a healthier product available for less to average dog owners.

Instead the commodities driven corn glut and the meat-by-products business, chemicals and fillers now passing for supermarket dog food are a scam. Pet food manufacturers are not highly regulated, it's a business for unloading low grade corn into the market. Horse meat would make better sense given that Americans don't have a pallet for it.

The economic side of the opposition to horse slaughter is ignored by pro-slaughter proponents. By labelling it an emotional issue the pro-slaughter interests paint a one-sided picture, using emotional content, such as; A. there is a glut of horses, B. pro-slaughter people are emotional but we are not.

The stories of unwanted horses when investigated further are inaccurate.
