In announcing a low cost euthanasia clinic, the Michigan Horse Welfare Coalition is telling horse owners, "Please do not let aged or ill horses suffer through the winter. Total euthanasia cost as of 1-12-12 is $80 which includes euthanasia and disposal by the clinic.
Also, a cost consideration will be given in cases of significant financial distress!"

The Michigan Horse Welfare Coalition is an ad hoc group of concerned horse people from throughout Michigan dedicated to helping horse owners struggling to provide for their animals and saving as many horses as possible from abuse, abandonment and neglect.
The group is comprised of individuals from rescue organizations, breed groups, veterinarians, state officials, law enforcement agencies, equine media, and concerned citizens. Though diverse in perspectives and background, we all shed our differences and unite to solve the problems confronting the equine community in our state. They do not engage in controversial dialogue over issues or personal opinions that may divide horse lovers, rather, they remain focused on constructive ideas and the deliverance of real solutions for those ideas.
