BLM roundup causes the death of 11 horses.

“The BLM initiated gather operations on Saturday, July 10, and gathered 228
excess wild horses. To date, eleven horses have died from complications related
to water starvation/dehydration or subsequent water intoxication. Based on
necropsies of the dead horses by the on-site veterinarian, the BLM has
determined the mortalities were a direct result of a lack of water in the
immediate areas occupied by the horses. One horse was euthanized shortly after
being gathered due to a fractured leg that occurred in the temporary holding
corrals.” BLM Press Release dated July 14, 2010

Chris Heyde, Deputy Director of Government and Legal Affairs for the Animal Welfare Institute said “At a time when nearly as many wild horses are in captivity as are on the range – a situation which is unacceptable in terms of both animal welfare and fiscal responsibility – the Animal Welfare Institute welcomes this action, and we are grateful to the bill’s champions and supporters.”

In Canada at the Calgary Stmpede a second horse has died. The horse broke his near fore leg during the race and was put down by a vet. A spokesman for the Calagary Stampede, Doug Fraser, told local press: “He was attended to and examined by a veterinarian and the decision was made to euthanize the animal to avoid further suffering.” The injury did not involve any interference or crash.
