Since you brought up the Horse Welfare Committee, it is still beyond me 
while it is not a permanent committee. This sends the message  - or the 
way I read it - that the BOD is setting it up in hopes the hoop-la will 
subside and the problem will slowly fade into the sunset.

As long as one horse dies, it's one horse too many. By the actions of 
the AERC BOD in the past it seems that they are willing to accept deaths 
as a fact of life in the sport. I sure am not - and I don't think the 
majority of the members are either.
