Euthenization Clinics
-any organization that promotes horse slaughter should spend the same dollar amount annually on low-cost euthenization clinics
-any organization that promotes horse slaughter should spend the same dollar amount annually on low-cost gelding clinics
(the above two rules would require pro-slaughter organizations to spend 2/3 of their total income towards low-cost clinics)
-all registered charities dedicated to rescuing horses should spend 1/4 (total) of their donations on low-cost euthenization and gelding clinics
(the above rule would require charities to spend 1/4 of their total income towards low-cost clinics)
Gelding Clinics
-covered above
Clinics Issues
-rescues are already inundated with lame or otherwise unrideable horses, and dedicating money to clinics takes away from that
I know this is a difficult discussion point; but many rescues are turning into sanctuaries (meaning the majority of their residents are permanent residents and unadoptable). This means there is less room to take in horses that can be adopted out. I’m not sure what the solution to this issue is, but it does impact this debate.
