Exposing Equine Abuse - RTÉ Investigates Making a Killing

Dangerous at Both Ends, Tricky in the Middle

In this urgent and eye-opening episode, Barbara and Jen dive into the recent revelations from the RTE documentary "Horses Making a Killing." We discuss the illegal practices and fraudulent activities uncovered within the equine industry, including falsified documents, unsafe transport conditions, and inhumane treatment at slaughterhouses.

Join us as we break down the key points from the documentary, provide historical context, and highlight the broader implications for horse owners in the UK, Ireland, and Europe. We also include powerful interviews from a recent protest outside Shannonside Foods (15th June 2024) with Maddie and Kelly from My Lovely Horse Rescue, offering their insights.

Listener discretion is advised due to the distressing nature of the content discussed in this episode. For those who find the topic too challenging, we offer alternative ways to engage with the material through a written summary and updates available on our Facebook and blog.
