Re: [RC] [RC] horse slaughter - Rebecca FabiszakI would not send him or a horse of mine to slaughter either but some do not have an option. I do still remember the story that I read here, on Ride Camp, about the beautiful horse at the meat auction that a man bought for his daughter only to have the horse kick his daughter in the head and kill her. Where do those horses go, for re-training? Beccy

Been there...done that. Just last year, I put down my once-in-lifetime horse due to a brain abscess that left him totally dangerous. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life as a horse owner, but there was no way in hell that I was going to ship Wizard to slaughter. Even at the end of his life, when I feared him...he deserved a death...at home, with me holding the lead line. And yes...I paid the rendering truck. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
