Pixie Pony

Look inside a double-deck pot-belly trailer the
preferred/cost effective method of transporting horses to slaughter.

Some truckers call them
"chicken horses" and make fun of
their fate by putting chickens on the
mud flaps of their trucks.

Rubber chickens are sometimes hung
from the back of the trailer as
a sign they are hauling
"chicken horses" to slaughter
