NorCal Equine Rescue in Oroville,
Calif., will offer a low-cost
euthanasia clinic on Dec. 17 for owners who, due to economic or other
reasons, are unable to care for their horses. Owners will be charged $25 for
the euthanasia service, which will be performed by veterinarians.
Clinic participation requires owners to sign a release allowing the rescue to
retain and place potentially adoptable horses. Horses that prove to be
unsuitable for adoption will be humanely euthanized through the rescue's
Final Act of Kindness program.
"The clinic is designed to provide financially strapped owners with an
alternative to bringing their horses to auction where they may not sell, or
may sell a very low price," said NorCal Co-Founder and Vice President
Tawnee Preisner.
The group plans to host similar events several times per year.
