Now what I and possibly many other people will want to know is why you send so many horses to New Mexico to the Clovis Horse Auction to more than likely end up in a Mexican Slaughterhouse? Are there no Texas auctions nearby or do you not want locals to know where your horses are ending up? I am sure that you have the ways and means that if necessary to humanely euthanize these horses rather than take a chance of their being sent through the torturous process of shipping to a kill plant. I don't think many Texans would be happy to know that Mexico is benefiting through the horrific deaths of our American ranch horses. I am really looking forward to your answer- as I am sure many people will be. Congratulations on your winners.
