Horse slaughter is the practice of slaughtering horses to produce meat for consumption. Humans have long consumed horse meat; the oldest known cave art, the 30,000-year-old paintings in France's Chauvet Cave, depict horses with other wild animals hunted by humans. Equine domestication is believed to have begun to raise horses for human consumption. The practice has become controversial in some parts of the world due to several concerns: whether horses are (or can be) managed humanely in industrial slaughter; whether horses not raised for consumption yield safe meat, and whether it is appropriate to consume what some view as a companion animal.

  • L'abattage du cheval est l'acte de mettre à mort un cheval, quelles qu'en soient les raisons. Longtemps ritualisé, il s'inscrivait dans un cadre religieux et cultuel. Les chevaux sont désormais abattus pour un motif économique, parce qu'ils présentent un caractère inapproprié pour l'activité que recherche leur propriétaire, pour réduire la population d'un troupeau sauvage, ou pour abréger leurs souffrances (en cas de maladie ou blessure grave comme une fracture). Différents outils existent, dont le pistolet d'abattage et le fusil, souvent employé au Canada et aux États-Unis. Ensuite, la consommation de la viande du cheval peut être envisagée. (fr)
