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.)

  2. Causing pain and suffering to a horse is definitely abuse!!!!! But there are so many ways that people cause pain and suffering to horses that it seems as though many people are completely ignorant, uncaring simpletons who don’t stop to think of how their stupidity, or someone else’s stupidity, can and does cause pain and suffering to the horses!!!!!
    Then there are the ones who do know and enjoy the sadistic, brutal, INHUMANE TREATMENT OF HORSES.
