How To Adopt A Horse From A Kill Pen

I know, you�ve heard the term kill pen. What exactly is that? Well, a kill pen is a source of inexpensive, often free horses that are purchased by dealers from auctions to be sold for slaughter. How does this happen in the United States? Well, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates horse slaughter and allows it as long as the horse has not been treated with drugs or other substances prohibited by law within 30 days prior to its slaughtering date. So if your horse dies on Monday and its meat is used for food on Friday (or Sunday), then there�s nothing wrong with using that horse for human consumption! Here�s how it works: First, horses must be slaughtered according to federal regulations before they can enter into any type of trade (including sale). Second, when an animal gets sick or injured at one farm and cannot recover quickly enough to save itself from death then another farm will take over responsibility for caring for them until they either die naturally or become too weak/ill again to recover; this process repeats itself until these horses finally meet their fate at a slaughterhouse/kill pen somewhere else in America where their carcasses are inspected once more before being shipped out across the country so people like us can enjoy them while we eat dinner tonight!

The reality is that this is not the case at all! Most of these horses are simply forgotten about due to no fault of their own: they were taken from their home in order to make room for younger stock, or they were given away because their owners did not want them anymore – but what if there was an alternative?

How does this happen in the United States?

This can happen in the United States in many different ways:

Horsess are sold at auction to be used for riding, racing, or pulling wagons.
Some horses are sold at auction to slaughterhouses.
Some horses are adopted by people who want them as pets; these people may not know what happens to animals that aren’t adopted and could be horrified if they knew that their new pet might end up as meat on someone’s plate.
Some horses are bred by breeders who sell them back into the industry after they’re no longer useful for work or breeding purposes (this is often called “the horse meat industry”). This can happen even when these animals were once loved companions but have suffered injuries or illness which prevent them from doing their jobs anymore -— which means that this form of killing can hurt people too!

What�s the process for adopting a horse from a kill pen?

First, you’ll want to contact the kill pen where you think the horse is located. There are a few different ways to do this, but email or phone are probably the most efficient methods. Make sure that they don’t sell horses for slaughter first! That said, if you have your heart set on adopting a specific horse and know exactly what kind of care it will need (i.e., if it has behavioral issues or medical problems), then go ahead and fill out an application now.

We don�t have a lot of extra time to devote to taking on an extra horse. Is it really possible to adopt one and train them with limited time?

You can absolutely adopt a horse and train them with limited time. In fact, there are many people who work full time and still have time to ride and train their horses. You may want to consider adopting an older horse that is already trained or adopting a younger horse that is in need of some training. If you decide to adopt an older horse, be sure they have been well cared for by their previous owner and ask your veterinarian if they are healthy enough for you to take them on as a new member of your family.

Where can I find kill pens in my area?

The first step in finding a kill pen is to look for auctions. This can be done by asking around, or by searching the internet for “horse slaughter auctions near me”. Many people don’t know that these types of auctions exist, so if you’re having trouble finding them, try asking someone who works at an auction house or stable.

Once you’ve located some potential locations, it’s important to note whether they have kill pens on site and if they sell horses directly to the kill pens (both are indicators). If they do sell horses directly to slaughterhouses, then this may be a good place to start looking as there could be more horses available than those being held in their own holding pens.

How do we find out more about a rescue before we contact them? Is there an accrediting organization that we should look for?

There are many resources you can use to find a reputable horse rescue. You can always ask your veterinarian, and even the staff at your local feed store or vet clinic may be able to point you in the right direction.

If you want to get as much information as possible before contacting a rescue and committing yourself, there are several steps you should take first:

Check online reviews—this is one of the most helpful things you can do when researching any organization or business on the internet. Look for websites like Yelp or Google+ where people have reviewed the horse rescues they’ve dealt with personally; these reviews will give you insight into what others think of each organization’s operations, their customer service practices, etc., and allow you to make an informed decision about which horse rescue would be best for your needs!
Ask friends who might know some people who work at various societies about their experiences—if someone has used one particular society’s services before (even if it wasn’t necessarily something related directly to adopting horses) then chances are good that person could offer some useful insights regarding how well run/organized/etc. it was overall.”

Kill pens are dangerous places for horses. If you can, adopt one!

If you can, adopt one!

Kill pens are a source of inexpensive, often free horses that are purchased by dealers from auctions to be sold for slaughter. This is not an option for many people because of the time restrictions in placing a horse and the cost of keeping them until they find their new home.

The only way to make sure that you know where your horse came from is to adopt from a kill pen yourself. If you’re really interested in helping make sure these animals don’t end up back on the auction block, please consider adopting a horse or pony today!
