A group here in Montana is working on putting together a euthanasia service. One option is to fashion it after the Norcal rescue service where the owners bring the horses to a facility on the scheduled day...in this case a vet clinic with runs and pens and stalls. The owners sign their horses over to Norcal with the understanding that if Norcal deems the horse has good years left, they have the option to keep the horse and adopt it out. The horses stay overnight, getting lots of hay and grain and the next morning they are put down. The other option would be to go to each persons home and have the horse put down there and the rendering plant pick the horse up there. It is more expensive to do it that way but less stress for the horse. I am trying to get some input on this to find out which one most people would rather do if it was their horse needing to be euthanized...Some of us think most people would want to drop their horse off.
