TRAILS END is a humane alternative to auction/slaughter
Whispering Winds Equine Rescue is pleased to support the efforts of Front Range Equine Rescue in their
program to help combat the numbers of horses ending up at slaughter in the U.S.,
or Mexico
In 2005, over 94,000 horses went to slaughter. In 2006, over 100,000 horses went to
slaughter
Less than 6% of the horses were considered old, sick,
crippled or ill-tempered according to the Grandin Study. Over 92% of slaughtered horses are reported to be in
“good condition” according to Dept. of Agriculture statistics
Trails End is designed to prevent horse owners from
taking their older, sick, or crippled horses to auction or a kill buyer by
offering a 50% reimbursement for the expense of humane euthanasia (and carcass
disposal)
To apply, submit copies of vet receipt indicating cost
for euthanasia and receipt for carcass disposal if applicable to
Front Range Equine Rescue, P.O. Box 307, Larkspur, CO 80118.
Program applies to
all equines, including burros and donkeys. Questions? Contact:
