If you are a member of the AQHA, and wonder how some of your registration fees are being spent, here is one example: lobbying against legislation that will ban horse slaughter and export for slaughter. The document is in pdf format.

You will see in the so-called Myths and Facts document they are using that every single statement they make is a myth they created with the help and support of their partners, the AVMA and there are no real facts.
It is outrageous that an organization that encourages and supports massive overbreeding of Quarter Horses, then makes its living off the registration of these same horses endorses their deaths by slaughter.
Never mind the use of artificial insemination, how about the cloning of horses, such as is taking part in Texas at ViaGen. http://www.horsesdaily.com/news/health/2007/04-18-cloning.html.
We, among others, have taken apart these statements many, many times over the years. You can find solid arguments against this paper by searching AQHA on Tuesday’s Horse or at our website at www.fund4horses.org.
