Soring In Horse Slaughter

In this essay, I will explain the facts, and argue my own views and opinions on horse soring, a topic that has been booming for horse owners and horse lovers in the United States and other foreign countries for the past forty years. This issue has not only been affecting the horse population, but its controversy has spread and became a huge issue in our government. People use soring to win competitions in a very cruel way. Nothing about this issue seems very fair to me whatsoever.

Throughout the history of American Quarter horses the main issue of the industry is the extent amount of drug usage on horses. The use of drugs on horses can help for healing and speed up the time of injury recovering, yet most of the time drugs hurt the horses. Today, this abusive action has only increased since the founding of the association. Quarter horses are jeopardized by having drugs injected in them to gain endurance and speed, but people fail to mention the risks that can occur. Injecting horses with dangerous drugs can cause heart attacks that may cause death after their race.

We can prevent this in many different ways. We can give donations. We as basic consumers, can make more thought out economical decisions. We can push for legislation demanding a stricter screening of

The Quarter horse is a common breed that does many different kinds of sports. The main sports that the Quarter horse is found to compete in is rodeo events, horse racing, and some jumping events. These horses are very common in the United States especially for these different sports that they do (Blocksdorf, 2018).

Imagine the worst way to torture an animal, that's how horses are being slaughtered everyday! I feel horse slaughter should be illegal because organizations are being created to help stop horse slaughter, many laws are already being made to stop it, and horse slaughter is completely inhumane.

Imagine you are on a mountain and you turn around a notice a herd of wild horses grazing happily, then all of a sudden you hear a low buzz in the distance. You notice that the wild horses become agitated and start to descend into the valley of the mountain closely being followed by a helicopter. You see the horses forced into holding pens and being separated from their bands wondering why this is happening. Now try to imagine a word without the wild horses. Many people consider wild horses to be a symbol of the west, and consider these wild horse roundups to be unnecessary and cruel, while other people believe that wild horse roundups are necessary to keep the condition of their natural landscape at its best quality. People argue that there are pros and cons to wild horse roundups. Some pros that people state are that reduces the population of wild horses, and that it improves the condition of the land that the wild horses graze on, while other people argue that roundups kill many horses, horses are forced to separate from their herds or bands as they are sometimes referred to as, and these roundups take horses out of their natural habitats, and put into government holding facilities where there are more wild horses being held captive than there are left in the wild. Now the question is are wild horse roundups truly the best for control of the wild horse population and control of the environment, or is there

The Tennessee Walking horse was an all-purpose ranch horse and originally bred in Central Tennessee during the late 1800s. It comes from many different breeds like Canadian Pacer, Morgan, Thoroughbred, Standardbred and the now extinct Narragansett Pacer. The tennessee Walking horse is famous for its beautiful running like walk, which can match a canter even though it’s a walk. There's different types of abuse they use for this particular type of horse, but the most popular are soaring, chemical soring, and using heavy, bracelet-like chains around their bodies. Soring is where they try to exaggerate the horse's height when lifting their front legs higher and faster than how the horse would usually walk. In order to do this they put chemicals

For the last five thousand years the horse has been of greater human interest for its strength than as a source of meat. However, American horses are still shipped over our borders and slaughtered for human consumption overseas. Horse slaughter and the export of horses from the United States should be banned because it is cruel and inhumane; furthermore, consuming American horse meat can be detrimental to human health.

Did you know, that 80% of American voters favor a ban on horse slaughter? Yet each year more than 150,000 horses are shipped overseas and slaughtered for human consumption. These slaughterhouses are located in Canada and Mexico, where after being slaughtered and processed, they are then shipped to countries such as Europe, Japan, and Asia. In these countries the horse flesh is consumed by humans, the hair, hide, hooves, and any other part deemed usable are made into boots, jackets, cosmetics, jello, and paint brushes. There are still some horse slaughterhouses operating in the U.S as in 2011 under President Obama the ban on American horse slaughter expired. Missouri, New Mexico, and Iowa are just a few of the places in the U.S where horse slaughterhouses

There are many biomechanical actions that happen over very short times during equine locomotion that make gait analysis difficult to evaluate using normal diagnostic tools (Clayton, 1993).

When I learned how to heal my horse’s hoof a couple of years ago, the vision of being a vet was reaffirmed. It was a hot summer day when my dad and I were working around the barn. Like any other day as we worked we would check on how the horses were doing, this included grooming them and cleaning their hooves. We noticed one of our horses, Indie, moseying over with a limp and not putting weight on one hoof. I immediately was worried, thinking that he might have a serious injury.

Gaited horses, like the Tennessee walking horse, for example, are a special type of horse. Tennessee walking horses naturally have a higher step. That high gait decreases bouncing and makes a smooth ride for the rider. In walking horse shows, the horse with a highest gate wins the competition. This gate is known as the “Big Lick.” To produce an even higher gait, many trainers have used chains or special horse shoes that cause more pressure on the hooves of a horse. This practice is known as soring, when people cause pain to the lower legs and hooves of a horse to speed up the training for a high (Gang). Thoroughbreds are used for one of the most famous equine sports ever; horse racing. However, these fast horses have a secret that make them go even faster. Performance-enhancing drugs are used by veterinarians, trainers, and owners. This increases the horses speed, but the drugs are used way too often, and therefore damage the horses bones (Cohen). Whips are also a tool of encouragement in the racing industry. That is also hard to separate into black and white. One horse may shy away in fear from the whip, while

Taking all this into consideration the governmental roles have not been so effective and many things have to be done to stop such false practices.
