While not all the “vanned” end up dead, most do, as borne out by our year-end FOIA reports. But even if death is not the ultimate result, the above are victims nonetheless, suffering painful injuries – in the case of the bleeders, pulmonary hemorrhage – so that some men may gamble, others chase pots of gold. (For any new confirmed deaths during the week, please see our running annual list.)
It’s highly probable that all fourteen of these injured horses have ulcers and degenerative joint disease. They’re definitely suffering in pain. This CRUELTY to horses should be punished like the animal abuse that it is!!!!!!!
