How much of the current surge in horse abuse/neglect is really due to the closing of the slaughter plants?

Yet 681 horse abuse and neglect cases were reported to O’Keefe’s department, 38 percent of the department’s caseload that year — up from 461 cases, or 25 percent, in 2006.</DIV> <BR /><DIV> “It’s cliché, but it’s also possible that we just hit the perfect storm,” O’Keefe said. “The slaughterhouses closed, grain prices are at an all-time high, hay is very difficult to get; now with this winter weather ... (it’s) crushing. Even without the slaughterhouses closed, we would be in trouble because of everything else.”</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9092F766-F7B3-44DB-AA75-3A04E4E78C97/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
