Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Little bit off topic here, what happens to failed race horses? genuine question for anyone who can answer as I know feck all about horse racing. Dog food, into the human food chain as burgers and ready made meals? Most end up in the factory for dog food, some become brood mares to produce sport horses etcThe lucky ones end up being rebroken and used for other disiplines... Quote Link to post
C Hall 552 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Thanks for answering CG. With working animals ie horses, greyhounds, lurchers, terriers, failed animals can not always be found pet homes to live the rest of there lives out in comfort some have to be PTS which IMO is the better alternative of being passed around different owners or dumped to end up in rescue kennels waiting to be rehomed or PTS Edited June 1, 2013 by C Hall 1 Quote Link to post
