Horse Bill Gets Approval Of Legislators
KENTUCKY...
It isn't often a bill in the Kentucky General Assembly gets unamimous support, but, since the subject is horses, maybe it isn't so unusual. When the health and safety of horses came before the House they voted 98-0 for passage. The next step is sending the bill to the Senate. The measure would create the Kentucky Equine Health and Welfare Board, whose duties would include helping develop regional centers to care for abused, neglected and unwanted horses. And it would create a voluntary certification system for equine rescue and retirement operations.
