In Wellington, Florida, 21 horses have died, and no one knows why. The horses belonged to the Venezuelan Polo playing team. Necropsies are being done on all the horses at this very moment in time to figure out what killed them.
A Spokesman for the Polo club said he saw 5 horses that were dizzy and as he ran to towards them another couple of horses also become disoriented and collapsed. Everyone is in shock, due to the sheer number of dead horses.
Vets say they aren't sure what killed the horses, bad water, bad food, a disgruntled opponent with a syringe filled with poison, they dont know.
That is sad :(
ReplyDeleteeven though I don't like horses.
that is extremely sad!!!
ReplyDeletewho would do such a thing?
Yesterday a team of veterinarians made a hypothesis that the toxin that caused the deaths were from the animal feed, vitamins, and supplements. It is still under investigation though. The vets concluded that the 21 horses were worth 2 million dollars.
ReplyDeleteI just read this, they are opening a criminal probe about this tradgedy. Veterinarians are taking the horses apart organ by organ to try to find the cause of death. The process is the same as that of trying to find out what killed a human.
ReplyDeleteThat's horrible. I hope they figure out what the cause of it was. Today I read that state officials think that it was caused from some type of drug reaction or toxins in their food. They are continuing to investigate but haven't come up with anything yet.
ReplyDeletemaybe someone tried to kill the horses.
