[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 71131, member: 637"] These people have no business with animals. I don't understand why they get them in the first place. The wet conditions and the mud to the bellies is not acceptable. Then when you go say something to these people, it starts a war. If you report them, I don't care who it is, they will either give your name or enough information for them to know. We had a vet in this area that would let two horse traders pull their own blood for EIA. (Coggin's test) One traded horses by the dozens and the other would admit to pulling blood off of one animal so that the test would be negative. Several horses in this are came up postitive that came through this trader. At the time, a gentleman had two Belgin mares in the pasture with my horses. Both of these mares came up positive. I sweated when the state vet came out and pulled blood from my horses. All came back negative. His two mares were put down and then he had a few more at his house that came up positive. He had bought a couple of horses from this trader that pulled his own blood. I called the state veterinarian and told him about this vet and to follow up on this since these horses were coming from him. The vet asked for my name in casual conversation with the vet or the traders, but if it got ugly, or more needed to be done, then I would jump in the middle of it. The vet went ahead and gave my name anyway. I did not feel bad for turning these guys in. Several other horses coming from these traders did show up positive. I was not their favorite person after that. I have no respect for the vet and the two that practiced this. But it is still tough to turn people in that are living close. But it is tougher to look at the animals when they are suffering. Either way, it will worry you. [/QUOTE]
