Following the Horse Slaughter Trail

Strangles
Strangles is a highly contagious disease and commonly found in horses sent thru low-end auctions and those at kill buyers’ lots. It involves swelling and infection of lymph nodes and discharge from sinuses.

Animals’ Angels continue their decades-long pursuit of those involved in the brutal horse slaughter trade even as this cruel and unnecessary industry has been in sharp decline.  

Below is an excerpt from, and a link to continue reading, one of their most recent investigations. Animals’ Angels has been steadfast and exceptional in their efforts to help end the slaughter of America’s horses.

Jason Fabrizius has been feeding the horse slaughter pipeline for decades. And Animals’ Angels has documented his actions every step of the way.

In our most recent investigation at Fabrizius Livestock, Animals’ Angels’ investigators immediately encountered disturbing conditions:

  • Emaciated horses with visible open wounds
  • Several visibly ill horses suffering from violent coughs and discharges from the eyes and nostrils
  • One mare had a ruptured abscess under her jaw, leaving a gaping, infected wound
  • Another mare was so sick she struggled to breathe; thick pus streamed from her nostrils, contaminating nearby horses and shared water troughs.
