Owner could still take responsibility, and pay $200 to have their unwanted horses euthanized, rather than trying to get a final $250-500 for them at a killer buncher.
Or do as some of the farms used to: line up the unwanteds every spring in the back pasture, humanely shoot them, and bury them on the farm. The problem is that people don't have the guts to take responsibility for their animals. It's difficult, I agree. Who wants to put down a horse that's 10 years old but nothing but a pasture ornament, so no longer wanted? So they sell it to a "good home" - which is a buncher. If you are going to be in livestock, you have to be willing to be tough and humane.
