 Too bad your friend couldn't follow her poor horse through the 
auction/slaughter process. >>

    The auction process is not all that bad.  You go there, put your horse in 
a corral, it goes into an arena, humans say numbers, and they go back to the 
corral, humans pick them up that night or in the morning and take them home.
    Not all of the horses that go to an auction go to the slaughter.  In fact 
very few horses go that direction through an auction.  At least that is the 
way the LA Auction, CA and the Pedley Auction, CA has been since I can 
remember.  Thats been since the 60's.
    A lot of folks go there to fix up, fatten up, train or groom.  Then 
either they resale for a better price, or keep them for themselves.
