Re: [RC] [RC] ethics of slaughter-Dancer - donna asher

I had a girlfriend who had that arrangement on a non-papered horse. She routinely drove by to check on her horse although I don't think the family knew that. Then one day he was gone. Later she found out that the horse was sold. She didn't want to find out any more details because she was afraid of what happened to the horse. There are lots of good people out there who will follow your wishes, and I applaud you for your arrangements, but you really can't control a horse's destiny unless he is on your own property and under your control. She thought she had gotten her old horse a really good home with loving children that would ride him and adore him. It only lasted about six months.

I guess I have been lucky.  My 36 year old horse and 37 year old mule both
went peacefully when the time came, as did the various dogs and cats over
the years.

One way to guarantee your horse's future is to let someone have him for as
long as they want but you keep the papers.  If you don't like the way they
take care of the horse, you can go get him.  I have three ex endurance
horses who are still owned by me.  They are happy and healthy but if they
aren't, I can go get them.  Also, I have told the people when it comes time
to put them down, if they can't do it, I will take care of
it...............mb
