Excellent response! IMHO, sending the horse to auction (slaughter) when it's usefulness is done, moved onto another horse, kid lost interest, etc., etc., is simply a way for people to make one more dollar off the horse rather than spend a little more on it to humanely euthanize it. It also takes strength to stand there and tell the horse how wonderful he is and then watch him die. When he walks off into a trailer and they see it drive away to the auction not knowing what is really going to happen to it - that is putting their head in the sand and they should be ashamed. I admit I am very naive in the horse world but my two faux fjords will not know fear again and they certainly won't know fear on the day they die - with us, their family. -- Kathleen Prince kathl...@pookiebros.com Pookie Bros.
