We dont eat horse meat,so we shouldnt be slaughtering horses in this country,nor should we be sending horse meat to our zoo's.i am proposing that to solve the problem of over breeding the government introduces breeding licences to control and monitor people over breeding mares when this country has got a massive problem with unwanted horses,this would work by paying for a licence to breed a mare,only covering every other year,the microchip in the mare would be able to tell the vet how often the mare was being bred,this would cut down on the amount of unwanted horses going for slaughter,also this would take a burden off the rescue centres thats are struggling in this economic clime,we need to stop slaughter in this country which doesnt use horse meat for human consumption,and get zoo,s to use alternative meat for their animals and still keep a ban on live transportation of horses to europe,please take a few moments to sign thankyou
