This is why slaughter is big business…
In my quest to be responsible and do right by my old horse, I am trying to make a plan for euthenasia. No, it’s not fun. I’d rather be surfing ebay, weedeating the property, RIDING or heck, I’d rather fold laundry. I’d rather sit around folding for the next 7 years straight than have to think about putting him down…
But it’s not really about what I want, but what I need to do to take care of business.
You want to know why it’s so hard to stop folks from selling their horses or giving them away to slaughter buyers? Because it costs and arm and a leg to have one put down. A couple hundred dollars for the vet… another couple hundred for hauling.
Or holy cow- I called to see how much it is to have them cremated. Thinking somehow that might be less expensive. Nope… it’s about $800. Wow.
Something has to be done about this…
