RE: Re: [RC] Deaths - the list - Bob MorrisWhen I brought this subject up a while back it was soundly rejected. Some of the reasons were the trauma to an already upset owner, the inconvenience of doing it during an endurance ride, the cost, who was to pay, the inconclusive results often obtained and so on in finitum. I still believe it a good idea and tremendous deterrent.
