I love horses and have owned them my entire life (I’m in my 50’s) but I have no problem with horse slaughter. They are very expensive to have euthanized and disposed of so I think horse slaughter should be an option. I have had a few beloved horses that I had euthanized and buried at a pet cemetery. I’ve also had horses I HATED get a one way ticket to the Texas slaughter plant Bel-Tex. This was before it was made illegal. I haven’t sent one to Mexico or Canada.
Lady up the hill paid me to excavate a grave for her beloved horse. She had very specific dimensions for the grave and very detailed instructions on how the animal was to be positioned. I charged her $300 ten years ago. She paid it with out even batting an eye.
