Another death has been reported for the week ending July 2. Now they don't even care why they died.
Indian Lakes Weekly Update (June 26 thru July 2)
Nearly all horses have gained weight and regained their health. Nursing mares and yearlings are on a high nutrition diet while all other horses in adequate body condition are on a maintenance diet. A few of the 2010 foals are noted with minimal levels of upper respiratory disease. They are being monitored and treated as necessary (see previous attached Upper Respiratory Veterinary Report). Gelding of the five years and older stallions continued this week. Dr. Eric Davis from the Humane Society of the United States visited the facility on Thursday, July 1, to observe the castration process. One death occurred this week: 15 yr old gelding (1442) was found dead. Death reason unknown. No necropsy was performed. Mares are still foaling, but births are fewer and intermittent. No miscarriages occurred.
Facility Death: 1, Cumulative Death total: 102
Fallon Facility 102
foals 3
Round-up Site 7
Aborted Foals 39
TOTAL 151

Congressman Rooney tours horse rescue facility
This is interesting. The Congressman states that the horse slaughter bills have passed the house and are pending a vote in the senate. And you wonder why we can't get the legislation passed.... BTW-if you are new to the efforts, the bills are still pending in the house and senate. The only other explanation is that he was referring to the Florida legislation that recently passed and this was an interview that took place prior to that.
