We DO want to get to the bottom of this and yes, the crosses, too! One of the reasons the UEF decided to incorporate state/province representatives was not only to be on call for rescues or rescue assistance in these areas, but also to enable us to physically check on adopted horses. > wonder if the NFHR has the financial resources to use DNA analysis to > determine parentage. > Actually, the UEF will be paying these costs. They will be included in the adoption fee. This is an entirely new and unprecedented plan (to the best of our knowledge) of the UEF's, and the Fjords will be our first "experiment", if you will, to see how successful this will be to not only rescue the Fjords, but to attempt to register them and locate past owners and breeders. > I can assure you that none of our Fjords, aged or young, will ever find > their > way to a slaughterhouse as long as they are under our control.
