Maybe because we don't breed and raise cattle, pigs or chickens to be companions, to learn to trust us, we breed them for their gaits, their athletic ability, their looks and style, it is the ultimate betrayal. I have nothing but disdain for any owner that chooses this method to dispose of their horse, I am FAR from wealthy, I work 15 hours a day to support my horses, and not one will go down this road, they will be euthanized the same way a beloved dog or cat is, I truly wish bad Karma on those that do this to their horses, if this is the way they see their horses than they need to find another hobby, one that doesn't involve animals that come to love and trust you, it's completely barbaric.
