[edit] Neutrality

Why is the neutrality disputed in the "controversy" section? Everything that is currently there, as far as I know, is correct: the horses generally are poorly-bred, there is not much of a market for them, and many foals go to slaughter. Eventer 21:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

That article sounded pretty neutral to me.


I am also confused as to why this article has been disputed. Surely it is "fact" that animal rights activists state that the horses are treated poorly and the foals are treated as byproducts. This section did not say that the horses were or were not treated badly, only that animal rights activists claim they are.

In fact if the "Controversy" section was not included in the article, then it could be considered biased. 58.6.192.25 12:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


Tag removed - it was obviously a drive-by tagging as no explanation has been given and no response has been made here to the above comments. 58.6.192.25 16:26, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Neutrality dispute: "However, PMU horses only represent 0.01% of equines in North America [2]. There has been an increase in the number of registered horses on PMU ranches with almost all horses now being registered stock. [3] The vast majority of these purebred foals are sold for pleasure riding and driving." Considering that these "facts" are taken from the NAERIC, the organization that represents the interests of the PMU ranchers, I think it's pretty darn biased. Apparently, the bit about foals being sent to slaughter has been deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.102.27.46 (talk) 08:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
