I hope they send them all to a farm where they’ll run around all day and be happy. But actually. A real farm. It could happen that way.

The union also raised concerns about a lack of funding for individuals and organisations who eventually take in the horses. It argued that thousands end up at slaughter auctions each year.

The bill forbids selling horses for slaughter or for similar work. Carriage owners would be allowed to keep their horses if they choose, said Menin.

I hope they all have healthy happy golden years.
