[RC] BLM okays Mustang Sale for Slaughter - sherman
I suspect
she would find humane slaughter preferable to having crippled horses live out
their days locked up in dreary little pens.
When I went to
the holding pens at Litchfield, near Susanville, I was shocked at the number of
horses with club feet and twisted front legs (from the club feet?) that were
being held until they could go to a sanctuary, as they were unadoptable. It's
too bad the herds these horses come from couldn't be sterilized to stop the poor
breeding that's going on. I'm curious if these horses would be able survive
on their own, and if not, would humane destruction be more compassionate
treatment than keeping them alive in a sanctuary?
