Step 1
Research equine slaughter houses in your area. If you know where they are located, you can find out where they buy most of their horses. Generally speaking, they will frequent auction sites in your community where horses are sold at cheap prices.
-
Step 2
Attend auctions where equine slaughter employees will be gathering. This is where you can do the most good, and you'll find that there are hundreds of horses that can't find legitimate owners. You'll have to pay attention to the ones on which the slaughter employees bid.
-
Step 3
Out-bid the slaughter house employees on the horse of your choosing. This isn't as difficult as it sounds because the slaughter employees will have a ceiling above which they will not pay. In most cases, they buy horses by the pound at a set price, and will not go above it.
-
Step 4
Protest horse slaughter at the auction house. You can hand out flyers to let patrons know that the slaughter houses are represented there, and you can encourage patrons to bid on horses that might be destined for slaughter.
-
Step 5
Offer to purchase a horse that has already been bought by a slaughter company. In many cases, they will let a horse go for a higher price than what they paid, particularly if you seem adamant about owning the horse.
-
Step 6
Resell horses you've saved from slaughter to make a profit. This will enable you to save other horses, and can turn into a lucrative business. Just make sure you have the means to take care of these animals until they are sold, which means feeding, housing and veterinary care.
