Poland |Dobruchna, Michałow, Dąbrowa, Kałków| Farm Animal Service

In Michałow we are assessing the health of an older mare. We treat her against internal parasites and make an appointment for dentistry. Her teeth are really bad and she can…

Tote Tiere werden einfach neben den Pferchen liegen gelassen.

Today we check Bouvry’s feedlot on Range Road 253, where we found a dying mare and a dead foal in 2012. We immediately notice that this feedlot is no longer used for horses but is instead occupied by bison and cattle. Bouvry fattens and slaughters not only horses. Next to the pens we see three dead bison and one dead cow. None of the animals shows…
