Many changes have been made to the Vaccination Guidelines that are now readily available online. Based on the professional judgment of those involved with the development of these guidelines, the recommendations for vaccine administration in this document may differ from the manufacturer’s recommendation. However, it is incumbent on each individual practitioner to reach a decision on vaccine usage based on the circumstances of each unique situation and his or her professional experience.

Below is an excerpt from an article posted at the American Veterinary Medical Association. To read the complete article please go to: http://www.avma.org/onlnews/javma/jan08/080115a.asp .
Read the AVMA position statement on S 311 the “Horse Protection Act”.
Since all three U.S. horse slaughter operations were ordered closed last year, the number of horses exported to Mexico for slaughter has exploded. As of Dec. 20, 2007, 44,475 horses had been shipped to Mexico for processing for human consumption compared with 10,783 shipped at the same time in 2006—a 312 percent increase.
Especially troubling is the treatment of the horses once they cross the border into Mexico. In October, the Humane Society of the United States released a video showing the brutal stabbing death of a fully conscious horse at a Mexican slaughter facility. “It is time for this carnage to end,” said Nancy Perry, HSUS vice president of government affairs, who called on Congress to close the border to horse slaughter exports.
