Elderly Horse, Abused for Years, Saved and Taken to New Home

[Cerridwen]

9. Killed by spread sheet or by starvation or by neglect?

Slow painful death by lack of health care? Quick painful death by lack of work safety regulation? The long slow death of being denied access to education, arts, life's pleasures?

Which do you figure is more humane? Quick? Slow? Pain? Starvation? Life long suffering of watching dreams die as one dies twenty years before ones time?

The previous was about humans.

Which horse told you slaughter was better than dying on a battlefield? Horse slaughter; the way we do it; is in-humane. If we must discard that which we create for our use, can't we at least try to make it humane? Silly of me, I know.

Perhaps, your time in a slaughterhouse made you immune to compassion. Naw. I'd be more inclined to think it would make me numb to the suffering of others; especially if those others aren't human. But then, that's what spread sheets are for.
