OK, not wanting to jump into this debate, but your post caught my
interest. Please give me a little info about your composting methods, if
you don't mind. I understand the BASICS (like, composting kitchen/garden
scraps) and such, but have no idea what might be involved in composting an
animal the size of the average horse. Kudos, but I'm still clueless.
Is this something an individual farm could do, or is it something best managed
by an equestrian group? Are there regulations regarding it? Any info
would be appreciated!

So, when throwing people and animals away is no longer convenient
(i.e.slaughter auctions) then perhaps we might see a ramping up of societal
responsibility. If carcass removal is such a big deal (as so many say),
then as a group (horse people) we need to come up with a solution rather than
using slaughter as an acceptable option. Here at our ranch, we
compost.
