This is how quickly it can go wrong for your horse when you take them to auction...these horses sold at auction in Texas 2 weeks ago and now are sitting in a kill pen here in Michigan, 💔 the now easiest state to send American horses to slaughter in Canada and this pen ships horses EVERY week.
Their price is doubled as can be seen from the screen shots I took of their final bid prices at auction. Each horse has a set of photos: Michigan Kill Pen ad, Texas auction photo, their papers, and the final bid from 2 weeks ago.
These are nice, older, registered Arabians who deserve much better than this.
We need to stop normalizing sending our "unwanted" equines to auction or horse traders when they no longer serve their purpose for us.
And HORSE OWNERS...stop selling your horses at auction. There are rescues who will help. There are grants to help. If you have no other options euthanize them because the hell you are putting them through is the worst thing you can do to them.
If you want to help find these horses a safe place to land, contact the Southern Michigan Kill Pen. But hurry, because they don't stay for long...😔

70% of horses sold at auction are sold to a kill buyer. 7 out of 10 horses are destined for slaughter.
Don't let that happen to your loyal horse. Gift them a kind ending amongst familiarity and with the people they know.
If you are having financial difficulty with the euthanasia and aftercare of your horse or other equine, please reach out. We are here to help.

If you need assistance, please let us know. We are here to help keep horses from entering the slaughter pipeline. 🧡🐴
Take a chance on a rescued horse! And
