The Handle with Care is a program in association with the World Society for the Protection of Animals. This ten minute movie shows that the United States doesn’t only have bad handling and transporting of animals intended for slaughter, but so does the rest of the world. This gives a spin on the topic of slaughtering animals because we don’t think about it in Europe and other places, but it is just as bad and in some places worse than what you would ever imagine. The organization is trying to change the transporting regulations and is trying to show the public what is being ignored. They are trying to make a change and this shows a different perspective of the animal rights and welfare movements. This movie is graphic.

This sound slide was originally with an article from the Houston Chronicle and includes still photos and audio. It lets the viewer have an intimate look at how some of the Mexican horse-slaughter plants kill their horses. It includes interviews from the plant’s workers and veterinary. It shows a very different and gruesome process of horse-slaughter in a country that has less animal rights than the United States. This is graphic.

This sound slide has video, still images, and audio included. It discusses how horse slaughter should be banned and why. It also includes ways people can show their support and make a difference. They use Bo Derek in their video for an interview. She has been in many films from 1977 through 1998 and is well known. This provides information about the horse slaughter, including famous racehorses that have won famous races that stop winning, and went to slaughter. This shows how many Americans don’t understand what happens in the horse industries when the horses stop winning. This is graphic.
