Horse Law
Author: Julie MackenziePublisher: Trafalgar Square Publishing
ISBN: 9780851317823
Category : Horses
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
When Horse Law was first published in 1990, its original purpose was to provide a simple guide to the law for the horse owner as well as providing an initial reference book for solicitors or barristers who found themselves involved in cases concerning horses. The legal profession has changed considerably in the last 10 years; the trend is towards specialization and consequently there are a growing number of equine-law specialists. This comprehensive, updated and expanded edition is still a pertinent initial reference book for lawyers and covers a wide range of areas which can affect the horse world including: theft; buying and selling; negligence; the Animals Act 1971; rights of way for riders; keeping a horse, road traffic; protection of animals from cruelty: gaming and betting and the rules and regulations of the various equine disciplines. Horse Law does, however, remain sufficiently readable for the non-lawyer to find helpful. It is an invaluable and essential book, not only for the legal profession, but also other professionals involved in, or connected with horses whether students, instructors, veterinary surgeons, transporters or farriers.

Using Science to Improve the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309264944
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
Using Science to Improve the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program: A Way Forward reviews the science that underpins the Bureau of Land Management's oversight of free-ranging horses and burros on federal public lands in the western United States, concluding that constructive changes could be implemented. The Wild Horse and Burro Program has not used scientifically rigorous methods to estimate the population sizes of horses and burros, to model the effects of management actions on the animals, or to assess the availability and use of forage on rangelands. Evidence suggests that horse populations are growing by 15 to 20 percent each year, a level that is unsustainable for maintaining healthy horse populations as well as healthy ecosystems. Promising fertility-control methods are available to help limit this population growth, however. In addition, science-based methods exist for improving population estimates, predicting the effects of management practices in order to maintain genetically diverse, healthy populations, and estimating the productivity of rangelands. Greater transparency in how science-based methods are used to inform management decisions may help increase public confidence in the Wild Horse and Burro Program.

Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 68

Since FY 2006, Congress has annually prohibited the use of federal funds to inspect horses destined for food, effectively prohibiting domestic slaughter. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is responsible for overseeing the welfare of horses transported for slaughter. This report examines: (1) the effect on the U.S. horse market, if any, since cessation; (2) any impact of these market changes on horse welfare and on states, local governments, tribes, and animal welfare organizations; and (3) challenges, if any, to USDA¿s oversight of the transport and welfare of U.S. horses exported for slaughter. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.
