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.)
The carnage continues unabated.
The horseracing industry kills these poor innocent horses on a daily basis. Just another sickening fact that the racing industry is comfortable with.
