After these horses are killed, their flesh is shipped to Europe and Asia

for human consumption

They are shipped long, exhausting hours;

many without food, water, or even rest

They are crammed into tight, confined spaces and treated

like dirt

Some of the luckier ones are merely injured, while others

can end up dead
