There is just something about this craigslist ad that does not feel right. Maybe it is the spelling or punctuation or simply that it is from Miami, looking for a free horse, and mentioning slaughter.....not sure but it's creepy, what do you all think?
Do you have a horse you need a home for (Miami)

I'm looking for a peson or family who has a horse they no longer take care of .I know things are tough and sometimes we need to part with a horse whos been a family member.But your afraid somebody might butcher it or sale it.I love animals and will provide an excellent home for your horse my wife and kids are horse lovers too.An the best of all you can visit and even ride it from time to time.That way you know it stated with me.Don't let your horse get thin or sick because you can't provide the care it needs.i'm just looking for one horse now.as time goes on i will probably get another one.

It's sad, because horse meat is selling $4.00 per pound. So these people without a caring bone in their body, are buying up the horses that are selling for cheap and or hoping to get them for free. 1000 lb horse selling for $500 = A sick MF selling it to a butcher and making a huge profit on someones pet.
PLEASE make sure when you sell a horse that you have some sort of paperwork stating that the new owner MUST let you visit and give you first option to buy back the horse should they themselves need to rehome it for whatever reason.
So yes, I do agree that something seems a little fishy about that ad.

I don't know how to cross post...saw this under Charlotte, NC craigslist farm and garden. American Quarterhorse mare w/ colt 1000.00 There is a picture, the mare is underweight, and tied to a long rope. Foal looks very healthy, and obviously a mule, and very cute.

I guess the Admin put my post here, thanks for not deleting. As for the original post, it does sound fishy, it's either an underhanded person, or it could be a well meaning person. I posted the info. for the mare and foal because I couldn't get over the picture. Maybe someone will see it that would really like to buy (I think he also said will trade for cow) these two.

The ad could be a scam or it could be sincere. Responding to the ad doesn't mean that a horse would be going to the person who wrote the ad, it's just conversation. It might be interesting to know where the horse would live, who are the caretakers and what is their experience with horses, any minimal basic vet knowledge, etc.
I will admit that the ad seems "off".

OK, if they had to post again because they have not found a horse yet, then I think they are lying, hope no one falls for this...

I am starting to wonder if maybe these ads are posted by officers intending to find people who would give their horses to strangers that could ultimately end up slaughtered...maybe part of the Miami sting. The reason I say that is that they are going up everyday, in multiple cities, for the last week or so. They are so very strange. Well hopefully no horse falls in the wrong hands

I've wondered the same thing. A while ago, there were a lot of ads for Paint horses on craigslist, priced very cheaply.
