In some places its illegal (ok, ok, California).  However, I had my filly 
hauled to the local landfill and buried there for a small fee.  She had 
broken her leg out in pasture and after some research it was decided that the 
best thing would be to put her down (believe me lots of heartbreak here).  I 
feel so fortunate to be able to look back on that event and think that at 
least I was there with her at the end.  She was never scared or lost or 
confused.  I held her head just like I did in the first seconds of her life.
