If one had spent years with a horse and the horse gave all that was asked
(and then some) don't they at least owe it to them to be sure that their
last days are not spent in terror and pain? To sell a horse to slaughter is
to release responsability for the care of that horse to someone who doesn't
give a whit whether the horse is in pain, is terrorized by the way he is
handled and transported and finally killed. I cannot believe that anyone who
truly cared for their horse would equate whatever a few hundred dollars
would bring with the peaceful demise of their horse.
