Two black eyes for the horse industry in New Mexico.  The last week of March, 2012 was an eye-opening week for people that care about horses in New Mexico.

  First, the New York Times issued a report on the dismal state of horse racing, including an astonishing number of break downs, illegal drugs, improper track surfaces and rampant disregard for the welfare of the horses.

Then, Animal Angels released their investigation into the horrendous condition of horses at the Southwest Livestock Auction.   Absolutely shocking video of these poor horses left to die agonizing deaths without any assistance from humans - up to and including the New Mexico Livestock Board.

And carrying forward into April, the announcement of a horse slaughter plant applying to the USDA to open in Roswell, NM.  To Governor Martinez's credit, she and the Attorney General Gary King as well as the State Land Commissioner Ray Powell all spoke out against the plant's opening.

In late March the New Mexico Equine Rescue Alliance was formed.  NM ERA is comprised of 6 of the licensed rescues in New Mexico.  The goals of the Alliance are to promote the causes of all equine rescues in New Mexico, raise public awareness concerning horse welfare and serve as a liaison between the rescues and  law enforcement or other government agencies.  
Of primary concern is the networking of the rescues to take in horses from the New Mexico Livestock Board.  Less than 3 weeks later the NMERA was called take in 14 horses from the NMLB.
