A lot of the people who's horses end up at slaughter are tricked into thinking that their horse is going to a loving home (by killer buyers).
And if life was great, had a good job, a great husband and you had two horses . . . and then you lose your job or your husband dies or you get a divorce, and you pay all of your bills and wait until the very last minute to try and come up with some money to keep your horses, but you can't.
Life sucks and not all of the horses at the auctions are there from overbreeding. A large percentage probably are, and for those people, shame on them.
But for those that have no other choice but to break their hearts and the hearts of their children to try and survive. They are the one's who suffer and can not be blamed for being nieve and desperate and a lot of the horse people think that horse slaughter is still illegal and who would ever think that someone would trick them and then send their beloved pet to slaughter.
So in all fairness . . .
Horses are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.
