CLEAN : Abandoned status symbols horses

The video discusses the impact of the economic crisis on the horse trade in Spain. Initially, owning horses was a symbol of wealth, but the crisis led to a collapse in the market. Many horses were sent to slaughter as owners could no longer afford them. Rescue efforts by associations like the one near Malaga have become crucial, as they save abandoned horses. These centers rely heavily on volunteers due to a lack of government support, highlighting the challenges faced in maintaining animal welfare during economic downturns.
