Summit charts historic course for unwanted horses

摘要

More than 25 equine industry organizations and the AVMA participated in the nation's first Unwanted Horse Summit April 19 in Washington, D.C. Hosted by the American Association of Equine Practitioners, the summit was meant to be a catalyst for identifying long-term solutions designed to improve the quality of life of unwanted horses. "While participants came to the table with divergent views on many aspects of the issue, they were able to reach a remarkable degree of consensus," said AAEP President Scott E. Palmer. "Everyone focused on the welfare of the horse."
