What does it take to rescue a horse from an abattoir?

Would it be possible to arrive at an abattoir with a horse trailer and offer a relatively high price to buy (rescue) a horse? How much are horses worth in the meat industry (does it depend on their weight)? What equine abattoirs are there in Australia? Thank you very much. :) I live in in Victoria.

How do abattoirs cope with killing lots of innocent animals?

How do abattoirs cope with killing lots of innocent animals? Just wondered

Question answered by shady sunshine

They don't see animals as equal to humans. They see them as food. Most people who work at slaughter houses have been around them, or at least that way of life and mentality, for quite some time. To them it is no different than harvesting a corn field. PETA always finds the worse slaughter houses that they can. The abattoirs there do not know what they're doing, and probably haven't been properly trained. Most Slaughter houses do a good job of making the death relatively painless and very quick. They probably don't really enjoy their job, but it's not for the reasons that a vegetarian would think.

I want to be a vet but why do I need to do work experience in an abattoir?

Hi, so I've been looking online at work experience and voluntary work I should do to become a vet. One thing that keeps coming up is working in an abattoir. I'm a little confused about why I should get experience in a slaughterhouse? Help??!!!! Thanks.

Question answered by Richy

You certainly will learn a lot about anatomy in an abattoir. This is intrinsic to any biological science, it will also test you now to see if you have got what it takes to be a vet. I lived on a farm for years, and i know that being a vet is not all about mending broken legs on a labrador, just as farming is not all about having a few chickens and a friendly pig!! good luck with your career, but try the abattoir - a real eye opener

Are there any horse abattoirs near richmond/windsor area?

My friends looking for a pony and just exploring our options, I am a fairly experienced horse person and would be going along with her to check ponies out. We would be traveling from Penrith so is there anywhere kind of near-by where there are abattoirs?

Question answered by foxhunter1949

There is an abattoir near - several miles away at East Grinstead but, they do not kill horses every day - only about once a month. If you are thinking of going there to try and rescue a pony, forget it. They will not sell to you.

How do I go about rescuing a Slaughter Horse in Ireland?

Because of the current economic climate in Ireland - many horses/donkeys are being sent to abattoirs and slaughtered for meat. How do I go about giving one of these animals a home? Would I have to go to the owners $who are selling them or would I have to contact the abattoir itself to purchase one?

Question answered by I should be doing something else

This is very interesting as I was actually taking about doing the same thing yesterday. FYI the slaughter value of a horse is around €600 so this is probably how much an unscrupulous seller will want before they will change their mind. If you can settle that price upfront here in Ireland then they will most likely go ahead and sell the horse or pony to you, as it will save them the cost of the live transport of the animal from here to the European mainland (Usually France or Italy) Good luck, that is a really nice thing that you are doing. EDIT - I just read the first answerer and she makes a good point also. You could go about contating your local Horse Sanctuary and let them know you wish to permanently take on one of their rescue animals, or even provide a temporary home for one. Due to the recession a lot of people are having to give up their horses, my local sanctuary put a nationwie request out for help a few months ago because all of their stables were full http://www.crosskennanlane.org.uk/ You could check with yours too - if you were to take one of their horses it would free up a stable for them to accept another one?

Question answered by Sunny

I have walked into a slaughter house and bought a pony home before (in Australia though) I would suggest calling them up and seeing if you can walk in and have a look at what they have. It depends who you get, some blokes there treated it as their job and that's that and then a couple felt sad for the animals and were very happy to see at least one go to a home. I had to pay approximately what the pony was worth in meat weight. As he was only a tiny pony colt it was not a lot. Definitely something I would do again. Good luck! I'm not sure why people are having a hard time realising you live in ireland... I thought you made it pretty clear LOL. The other thing I wanted to add is if you go into a kill house to find a new member of your family just be aware that a lot of horrible things are going on in there. Whilst we were there a horse was having its skin ripped of and the sound it made was sickening.

What are the rates of mental illness amongst abattoir workers?

I'm looking for evidence of the claim that abattoir workers suffer higher levels of mental illness than the general population, in relation to arguments about vegetarianism. I've been unable to find any definite information on this on the web.

Question answered by rehabob

They are not known to be any different than the general population. However, since most of the workers are male, their rate of illness will be somewhat less than the national average, since women have a higher rate of illness than men. However, slaughterhouses have a higher rate of physical injury than many other occupations.

Is there a connection between the holocaust and animal abuse?

The original "holocaust" was the slaughter of animals by the Jews as a sacrifice to God. The Nazis softened up the Germans for the persecution of the Jews by showing films comparing Jews to rats. They used the same techniques of experimentation on human beings as had been done in laboratories on animals. The industrialized slaughter of human beings in the death camps was similar to the industrialized slaughter of animals in abattoirs etc. Has anyone noticed these similarities, and are there any books written on this connection? In response to one of the answers, it never ceases to amaze me how people read things that aren't there into questions. My point is that the holocaust was an application to human beings of abusive attitudes that were already manifested in human treatment of animals.

Question answered by Black Jacque Chirac

Animal sacrifice was hardly a "holocaust," nor was the holocaust similar to animal abuse. It is about mans inhumanity to man. There are no books on this because no one else has wasted brain time on your faulty premise.

Hitler was a vegetarian and the Nazis even introduced animal rights laws. They blamed the Jews for cruelty to animals in the way they slaughtered animals. It seems to have been a kind of Freudian "reaction formation" (look, we're such kind people, we couldn't possibly be murderers, could we?) Like Nietzsche--the opponent of compassion--embracing a horse before he finally lost it and was hauled off to a mental asylum. It's a very complex issue and has connections to the general unconscious of our animal-abusing society, I think.

Question answered by night.lark

Hmm... interesting. I do see a connection, but there is a difference. Animals are lower creatures and while humans should take care of them, ultimately they are here for our profit (however I do not mean purely monetary or individual profit). I think the main point here is that the Nazis were treating their victims -- Jewish and otherwise -- like animals, not that animals are treated like those victims were. I haven't seen any books on this connection, but there might be some that slipped by me so I can't say for certain.
