Re: [RC] horse fatalities, 2002 - Jim Holland

 I don't know why people
try to read so much into simple statements--the vet committee is as
concerned about horse deaths as anyone (if not moreso), but they also have
the burden of approaching the subject in a logical and scientific manner,
and don't have the luxury of spouting off a bunch of "maybes."  

Why not? Speculation on what "might" have happened is the first step
toward resolving the problem....as in the Challenger disaster, for
example. Speculation  should include propose possible scenarios not only
as to why it might have happened, but how it might be prevented in the
future. Are the details surrounding the death "secret" and not availble
to us "regular" AERC members?

This is not
some big political coverup, as some folks seem to want to make it.  <sigh>

IMHO, based on personal experience in dealing with AERC on this issue, I
respectfully disagree....at least it WAS....perhaps less so now, but the
jury is still out...
