HI Ann, I agree with you in general but the kill buyers are paying
almost as much for the animals these days. And I believe that Animali
costs include transportation in most cases. I have an issue with the
entire PMU industry and their disposable horses (Animali exists to help
place these horses). However the PMU industry is changing rapidly (being
somewhat eliminated) and many of these farms will be shutting down and
eliminating their stock permanently. Perhaps we should focus on the fact
that some of the farm owners are taking the time to find homes for their
equines rather than just calling the killers to come and get them.
(there are plenty that do just that.) Quite a few of those horses look
very nice.
Now if anyone is interested in a true rescue I would like to invite you
to join me on ForeverMorgans where we are dedicated to finding and
placing all Morgans and part Morgans in need. If you know of such a
horse or if you are interested in what we have available please let me
know. Morgans make awesome MSAR mounts with their stamina, good brains,
and exceptionally strong hooves and legs.
