The bad economy, unemployment, foreclosures and indiscriminate breeding have all combined to create a "perfect storm" of unwanted horses. This video was created to help those in financial crisis learn how to safely place their horse and avoid the unscrupulous "Killer Buyers." Sadly, horse traffickers have cropped up in Northern California, transporting horses to Mexico and Canada for slaughter for human consumption. Jason Preisner from NorCal Rescue and Louise Parker from "The Last Furlong" provide the facts on this illegal activity and offer suggestions for alternatives to selling horses at auctions.
