Thanks Stainless... This is to our shame....
The slaughter of the young premarin foals and the other young horses for human consumption breaks my heart...
But the slaughter of old friends for dog food.... Sold after 20 years service to man because they limp - The betrayal of our old friends once pampered and now crowded into kicking slaughter pens.... that rips my heart right out.
We would never give our old dogs away..... but good horse people trade up and throw out horses they have used up all the time. I try to change their mind on it as often as I can... Yeah - he's sound now at 18 years old. He will entertain a kid for a couple more years till he goes lame... what then? Where will they send him? I made a promise to mine.
