Re: [RC] Desperate Times for Horse Owners and for Horses - D'Arcy Demianoff-Thompson

Hi Kathy,
 
The best alternative, for us in Northern California, is to take them to NorCal Rescue.  Tomorrow, as a matter of fact, they will have a clinic to evaluate whether they can take the horse and place it or if it has to be euthanized.  The cost for the owner to turn over to NorCal is $25.00.  They will have these clinics 4 times a year.

The cost is very high in CA to euthanize and have the renderer come pick it up. My neighbors have a lame horse that needs to be put down, they were quoted $350 to haul away, then a ranch call for the vet is $60, add the RX and administration of drug fee and you're up over $500.  I suggested they call the Sac zoo and see if they need meat to feed their animals.
