RE: [RC] euthanization - Rae

Guess I am fortunate that we can bury on the property here.  Even have a
boarder's horse out there under the pens.   Only cost was for the vet to
give the shots.

Subject: [RC] euthanization

My mare is only 7 and I hope to have her a very long time. However, I have
been surprised with the cost to euthanize humanly horses in California. In
my area it is against the law to bury animals on your own property. This
gives an owner only a few choices; have the rendering facility pick them up
or have them cremated. The closest crematorium is in the San Francisco Bay
area and they cost of cremation and box for ashes is around $1,400. That
does not include the cost of the euthanization nor the transporatation to
the crematorium. I do not know the cost of rendering but I don't know if I
could do that to my beloved mare. I thank God I can afford to have her
cremated when her time comes, but, what does an owner do when they cannot
afford to have them put down? Send them to an auction house where they will
probably end up at a slaughter house.
