It is illegal to introduce into the food chain by any
means a horse that was chemically euthanized. They cannot be buried due to
leaching into the water table and many
plants that do render no charge for pick up and
service. Burning is illegal in most areas of the East due to air quality
concerns as well as health issues. It can cost over $400 to dispose of a healthy
horse and watching your mount being dragged into a Dumpster is not fun.
This is an event that has to be planned for, either by
the boarding barn or the owner as fits the case. In most cases where the
authorities order the horse down they will be able to suggest disposal
arrangements or may be required to retain evidence from the carcass.
Pennsylvania treats manure as hazardous waste and requires that the barn do the
same paperwork as other generators, the haulers be licensed, and processors
track where it came from and where it went.
