I think AERC and AERA and FEI all have protocols for investigation and 
reporting of equine fatalities. I don't know about the European or middle 
eastern federations though. I'm confused as to why a major point is made 
concerning the need for investigation when these protocols are in place.

Now it may be that these protocols may need refinement. If this is the 
case, then the specific organizations each have lead points for the 
definitions of these protocols, primarily centered about the veterinary 
dicipline, but also, in the case of the evolving AERC Horse Welfare Committee.

At any rate, it seems that a broad call for investigation is a bit late as 
the mechanisms are already (being put) in place.
