Horses on ISKCON owned or rented land

[Guest guest]

Haribol Prabhus,

 

I wonder if you could kindly give some thoughts on the following

consideration.

 

1. At Bhaktivedanta Manor we are regularly approached by local residents to

allow them to graze their horses on our land for periods of time. Out of

neighbourliness we have allowed one neighbour to graze two horses for a

month each year so that they can rest their one acre paddock.

 

2. As a general practice horses do not die naturally but are usually

assisted when they are too old to ride or are injured.

 

3. Are we behaving imorally to allow limited grazing on our land.

 

4. If we gave all year round grazing then we would inevitably find ourselves

with a horse killed on our land.

 

5. The Cow Policy clearly states that one cannot allow grazing on ISKCON

land for animals that are destined for slaughter.

 

6. Does this include horses.

 

What are the thoughts on this topic.
