Horses are often improperly stunned if at all so that they can be fully concious while they are shackled up and their throats slit. The horses heads and legs are chopped off and they are cut into pieces. Pic: Gail Eisnitz     > Wendy Turner Webster and Cedric help Viva! launch our "Journey to Death Campaign" in London.
