Haven't read the entire thread, skipped after around page 13.
When I read thread title, I thought someone had said this to OP, so was initially confused when reading OP's initial post.
OP, have to admit I was confused as to whether this was targeted at someone you knew but were not specifically naming or about your frustration that a deteriorating elderly horse appears to be suffering under the care of a stranger. You obviously feel very upset about this horses quality of life and condition. The manner in which you have expressed it has upset others re: 'that awful descision' and the public manner.
In your shoes, I'd be upset about the horse but not wanting to personally confront the owner (as this can severely aggrievate (sp)situation) and call relevant people that may be able to help, as you are doing. If I was as upset about it as you are, then I may have also put a post on here about it too. It is an upsetting situation that is out of your control and I appreciate you are pretty peed off.
If I was the owner and read this thread and suspected it was me, I'd be devastated and really hurt.
I have my views on when to PTS but don't expect everyone to agree with me. However, please keep us updated re: results of your phonecall.
To everyone; having an opinion is fine, getting personal is not.
