Hurrah for DVS Sabah

Heard last night that DVS Sabah will be obtaining a court order against the owner of Ranch A to seize all his horses and ponies and will be housing them temporarily in their quarantine areas until it can be determined what to do with all the animals. The DVS felt that the owners had not done enough in the pass two weeks to improve the situation and were of the opinon that they were likely not do more. There were 37 horses on the premises and of that 9 were deemed to be acceptable which sounds about right as they were probably the racing horses. Of the 28 horses in DVS Sabah control they estimate between 6 - 10 horses will need to be put down because of their condition. The Shetlands are still alive yipee! We have already offered help in anyway we can and will be flying down at some point to offer assistance.
