"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" --Mahatma Gandhi

Many horse owners bring their horses to these auctions with the expectation that the horse will find a good home. However, the pace of the auction and the often chaotic environment gives sellers little opportunity to show off their horse's strong points, and it gives buyers little chance to assess whether a particular horse is a good fit for them. Sellers often do not realize that middlemen for foreign-owned slaughter plants—called killer buyers—frequent these auctions, looking for young, healthy horses who will bring a good price at the slaughter plant.

Ways to prevent horse slaughter:

1- PLACE A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT ON YOUR HORSE WHETHER YOU SELL OR ADOPT HIM OUT--THE LINK IS LISTED BELOW FOR THE CONTRACT. ONCE YOU SELL YOUR HORSE WITHOUT A CONTRACT, YOU CAN NO LONGER DECIDE THE FATE OR FUTURE OF THE ANIMAL. THEY COULD BE SOLD TO AUCTION. REQUIRE THE RESCUE/NEW OWNER YOU DONATE/SELL YOUR HORSE TO, TO HAVE TRANSPARENCY REGARDING YOUR HORSE'S CURRENT AND FUTURE LIVING ARANGEMENTS.  DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR FROM THE NEW OWNER/RESCUE...SEE FOR YOURSELF.  YOUR HORSE WILL THANK YOU! IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY SOLD OR LEASED OUT YOUR HORSE, START A SEARCH FOT THE WHEREABOUTS OF YOUR ANIMAL...YOU MAY BE THE HELP THE HE/SHE IS WAITING FOR.
