Horse lovers.... since when....?

Question

i just wanted to ask, because i just read this question, and i wanted to know :

does it make you smarter then everyone else on yahoo answers: pets: horses, if you can find one web page that is out out dated about horses?

i was just wondering what the differences was between smart and misinformed?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080627124659AA0w43g&r=w#LpdIAXP7CmOcVRLGzHdf

is the only example i've come up with today. i was just wondering what makes someone "informed" about the horse industry and anything dealing with horses? i have my own thought i'll share tomorrow, i want to hear other answers to my qusetion.

Answer 1

shadow this is what went down in regards to slaughter.the texas plants were closed because of an obscure law from 1949 that horse meat could not be sold for human consumption,back then some butchers were selling horse meat as cattle meat in their stores so the cattle ranchers(who were the law in texas at the time)wrote a law against it(cliff notes version)in Illinois a bill introduced by USHS to stop slaughter for human consumption  on the premis that several other states were no slaughter states and there was no domestic market for the meat.the governor of Illinois(Blagojevich) being an election year and under pressure by animal rights organisation(his daughter is a horse lover) signed the bill into law.the USDA has to inspect all plants and livestock for humane and sanitary conditions so if the US anti slaughter act is passed for the entire united states there will be no one to inspect the meat for human consumption but since 49 states have already passed laws against the slaughter of horses for human consumption it is kind of a mute point.i almost forgot,the slaughter industry found out that profits are up since the close of the plants in the US and plants elsewhere are cheaper to operate in the outlying countries,plus less regulation.all this comes to less than humane conditions for the horses all brought to you by your wonderful HSUS and people who have no personal knowledge of animal husbandry or the livestock industry.

sorry for the cliff notes version but there are a lot of people on here who could write a book on this issue so a 13 year olds opinion is nothing but a flea on a rhino..........

Answer 2

It has nothing to do with researching websites or actual experience.  She was smarter simply because she is 13 years old.  Don't worry, she'll grow out of it in a few years, when she leaves her self-centered middle school world.

Answer 3

I read thru the answers on the other post and I would like to correct one misconception.  The DeKalb IL equine slaughtrhouse (Cavel international) was closed down only about two years ago or so...efforts have been made to reopen it, to no avail.

Answer 4

yeh that girl is not have any info on horses

Answer 5

Yeah. I am getting to where I just have some fun with them. I mean its the same mountian over and over and over and over. Mights well have some fun with it right?

WOW! I mean what ever troll is fallowing me right now. Gimme a break! The horse slaughter is old old old argument and nothing gets solved here on YA. So 'cuz that question is old and redudntent topic. Having fun with it breaks the boredom.

And if anything I say in a opinion question upsets you. I think you need to get a few more years on ya and a bit thicker skin cuz you wont make it in the real world. Right?

Answer 6

the difference between misinformed and smart is that you check your references first before you believe what you are told is true.

Answer 7

#!  What is your question?   #2  Why not share what your real thoughts are right now?  Oh, yes...thirdly, what makes someone an expert?????How about years and years of experience in the horse business?  Those of us who have been in the horse business for many years, can spot someone who hasn't got a clue...and guess what, I SPOT YOU!
