I don't think anyone thinks that... Just need to better understand the sequence of events as they unfold... If a horse is in severe distress from obviously irreparable injuries, they are going to be put down behind the screen, in the ambulance or back at the hospital or barn. If there is some diagnosis involved, it will take time to reach a decision. In some cases the owner needs to be reached and that can delay things. In other cases an insurance company needs to be reached to be made aware of circumstances and OK a horse being euthanised. It's another example of why too much info, too quickly disseminated, does no one any good.
