the numbers of horses being transported live from Ireland (Apart from "registered horses") to EU and non-EU countries for slaughter. I am also interested in the clarification of whether those horses transported for slaughter are only those who are being transported directly to a slaughterhouse or if the numbers also include horses that are transported to collection points (in France for example) where they are then auctioned and bought by slaughterhouses
