- 4 responses on “Endangered Horse Breeds”. I was wondering if there is any information on the Moroccan Spotted Horse, which I do believe is near if not already extinct. There was an association by the name of The Moroccan Spotted Horse Cooperative Association of America. I understand that the association “died” around 1979 or 1980.

- HORSE SLAUGHTER. FACT. Horse slaughter exists because of the human appetite for horse meat and no other reason. Horse slaughter is not about controlling the unwanted horse population; a way of getting rid of sick, diseased or mentally disturbed horses; or preventing horse abuse, abandonment, theft and similar crimes.ost horses who go to slaughter are not unwanted, but instead wind up in the hands of killer buyers because they are in good health and will bring a good price per pound for their meat. FACT. Horses are not slaughtered more humanely in U.S. plants than in other countries.

When Nazi Scientists Resurrected An Extinct Horse Breed In A Nutshell. The tarpan was a Neolithic-age horse that roamed Europe; its unique ability to live in wet, marshy areas meant that it played a very specific and much-needed role in the balance of marsh ecosystems. They became extinct in Britain sometime during the Neolithic period, but survived in Western Europe until the turn of the 19th century.

Horse There is only one species of domestic horse, but around 400 different breeds that specialize in everything from pulling wagons to racing. All horses are grazers. While most horses are domestic, others remain wild. Feral horses are the descendents of once-tame animals that have run free for generations. Groups of such horses can be found in many places around the world. Free-roaming North American mustangs, for example, are the descendents of horses brought by Europeans more than 400 years ago.

Unwanted Horses and Horse Slaughter FAQ When horse slaughter isn't an option in the United States, horses are transported out of the country to be slaughtered. This is a problem because the USDA has no jurisdiction in other countries, and has no power to make sure that horses are transported and slaughtered in a humane manner.: Approximately 1 to 2% of the U.S. equine population is slaughtered each year. That number has not changed since horse slaughter in this country ceased with the closure of the last slaughter house in 2007.

BSD-106: Understanding Vapor Barriers That is the function of air barriers. Confusion on the issue of vapor barriers and air barriers is common. The confusion arises because air often holds a great deal of moisture in the vapor form. When this air moves from location to location due to an air pressure difference, the vapor moves with it.This is a type of migration of water vapor.ncorrect use of vapor barriers is leading to an increase in moisture related problems. Vapor barriers were originally intended to prevent assemblies from getting wet. However, they often prevent assemblies from drying. Vapor barriers installed on the interior of assemblies prevent assemblies from drying inward.
