The Black Stallion, Mr. Ed, My Friend Flicka, all reminders of the American icon that has been so closely tied to our past. Horses have served humans throughout our American History, carrying us on their backs through the Wild West, tiling our fields, pulling wagons and carriages, even carrying our mail. Their past has lived on with us, echoing in our memories, as we still keep horses to enrich our lives and provide companionship. Though these animals have never clearly been raised for human consumption, American horses have been killed to be used for human consumption to countries such as Japan, Belgium, France, and Italy. Race horses, show horses that just could not make the cut, wild horses, and family horses all have fallen prey to the horse slaughter industry.
