Up here there's a place called New Holland that is notorious for putting lame, sick, or otherwise not up to appropriate health standards horses (out of date immunizations/Coggins, etc.) up for auction. It's supposed to be illegal and all horses are supposed to be checked. Everyone knows where those horses are going. And of course, they got to that state by abuse or neglect of some sort. I also recently learned that in fox hunting, the retired horses meet the knacker and it's an "honor" for the fox hounds to eat the meat...so gross.
