Rocky Mountain High!!
OK on our mountain horse list, there is a big discussion on what to do with a horse when you realize the prognosis is bad, and you have to make a sad decision.
One lady donated her horse to a wildlife sanctuary as meat. The horse was taken to a "kill center" who shot it in the head, processed it and used the meat. Her vet had told her it was the most humane way to put an animal down, quick and easy.
A recent magazine recommended you put them under your manure pile to speed up decomp, and keep them with you that way.
I know i couldn't have allowed predators to eat my precious Cheyenne. No way no how. However, over the years, i have had a few horses I'd have GLADLY fed to a cougar.
Any opinions?
