I ditto JoyceJ and MJNYC — not only their take on inexusable horse slaughter, but also MJ's reading of your sincerity. And I would add, with equal sincerity, that in these hard times where hay prices are high and horse guardians are strapped for cash, you could do nothing more noble with the money you're saving on NOT maintaining a horse now than to help out those who love their horses but are in a financial squeeze. Perhaps someone could use your contribution to pay for euthanizing a horse who is ready (because of age or infirmity or illness or injury) to go to greener pastures. Perhaps someone needs your donation to pay a farrier or equine dental bill. I'm sure a reputable horse rescue or sanctuary would put your “love offering” to good use. There are multiple ways to care for horses humanely instead of resorting to killing them for a profit — which, by the way, is the sole reason slaughter exists in this enlightened day and age. Some people don't mind making a buck off any back. But when they proclaim their motive is to save a horse from a worse fate, that is not only a lie, it is, in my book, a sin. Mickey, you sound intelligent enough to grasp this. It is those of us who stand up and defend the rights of the oppressed, whether it be humans or horses, that make moral progress possible on this earth.
