Good Post

I was reading on the Horse Plus Humane Society's latest blog post. They rescued 14 horses at an auction. Unfortunately 2 had to be euthanized. Here's the story.

I have a similar thinking pattern as they do when it comes to rescuing horses at auction. I typically only go for those that are thin and no one wants. It would be so nice to go to auctions this summer and pull horses, those that are easily adoptable, those that deserve a retirement home, and those that simply need to end their suffering. It is very rare for terribly lame horses to run through auctions these days but it would be nice to have an open door policy where we could offer a cheap alternative to auction. I would much prefer to have a euthanasia clinic rather than see these injured horses run through an auction. I guess that'll be my long term goal, to set up a euthanasia clinic in the fall so people can take advantage of the opportunity. If more people would do the right thing (even if it's difficult), this world would be a better place.
