The problem with allowing the slaughter of horses for meat, is that you develop a market for horsemeat. Then you end up raising them for meat. I want to hear more about birth control for both wild and domestic horses.

My father had alzheimers for years. The last 9 months of his life were spent in a nursing home. We couldnt tell when he passed the 6 month minimum life expectancy, so he had only days left by the time we understood it was the end. I do wish we'd have called Hospice in sooner. But the time we did have with them, with the help of their expertise and love, became a passage of immense comfort, closure, and peace for my dad, as well as the family. Because of them I saw the symptoms of his approaching death with understanding instead of horror. They showed us the way through the mystery of death, and helped me participate in a useful, loving way in my dad's passing. No amount of money could pay for this depth of ministry. I am so thankful for them!
