    730 Animals Disappeared From This ’Rescue’—FBI Investigators Are Still Searching

    The Miranda's Rescue investigation has become one of the most shocking animal welfare cases in California in recent years. What began as concerns about an animal rescue has grown into a multi-agency investigation involving the FBI, the California Department of Justice, forensic veterinarians, local law enforcement, and anthropologists from Cal Poly Humboldt. Investigators have used ground-penetrating radar and heavy equipment to excavate multiple areas of the property after previously recovering buried animal remains. Authorities have stated that approximately **730 animals are currently unaccounted for** based on the records they have reviewed. As the investigation continues, detectives are working to determine what happened to hundreds of dogs, cats, horses, and other animals that passed through Miranda's Rescue. In this documentary, we examine: 🐾 The history of Miranda's Rescue 🐾 Why California shelters trusted the organization 🐾 The discovery of buried animals on the property 🐾 The ongoing FBI excavation and forensic investigation 🐾 Why approximately 730 animals remain unaccounted for 🐾 The impact on families, shelters, and the broader animal rescue community 🐾 The questions investigators are still trying to answer This video is based on publicly available reporting and official statements from law enforcement. The Miranda's Rescue investigation remains active, and allegations discussed in this video have not been proven in court unless otherwise stated. Shannon Miranda has denied key allegations, and no criminal conviction has been entered regarding the matters discussed here. If you care about animal welfare, rescue transparency, and accountability, we'd love to hear your thoughts. **What changes do you think should be made to improve oversight of animal rescue organizations?

    New Foal IgG Test could SAVE Lives!!

    We already had stall-side foal IgG tests, so why are veterinarians talking about a new one? In this video, we break down a recent Equine Veterinary Journal study evaluating a new lateral-flow IgG assay and digital reader for assessing passive transfer in newborn foals. While horse breeders and veterinarians have been using tools like the SNAP Foal IgG Test for years, researchers wanted to determine whether newer technology could provide more objective, repeatable, and potentially more accurate results when making critical treatment decisions. We'll start by exploring why passive transfer is so important for every newborn foal and how a lack of adequate antibodies can lead to Failure of Passive Transfer (FPT), one of the most significant health risks facing young foals. Then we'll examine how veterinarians have traditionally tested IgG levels, including laboratory methods, refractometers, and the widely used SNAP Foal IgG Test. From there, we'll look at what makes this new digital IgG testing system different, how the lateral-flow assay and electronic reader work, and what researchers found when they compared the new technology to laboratory reference methods. Finally, we'll discuss the study's limitations, whether this new test is actually better than SNAP, and what these findings could mean for breeders, veterinarians, and foal health in the future. If you've ever wondered how veterinarians determine whether a foal received enough colostrum, how passive transfer testing works, whether the SNAP Foal IgG Test is still effective, or if newer diagnostic technology is changing equine medicine, this video is for you. 🔔 Subscribe for more horse health news, equine veterinary research, breeding insights, horse welfare discussions, and evidence-based updates affecting horse owners around the world. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 We Already Had Foal IgG Tests—So Why Is This New One Making Headlines? 01:40 Why Passive Transfer Matters for Every Newborn Foal 03:30 How Veterinarians Have Traditionally Tested IgG Levels 04:05 The SNAP Foal IgG Test and Other Stall-Side Options 07:05 What Makes the New Digital IgG Test Different? #Foals #HorseBreeding #FoalHealth #PassiveTransfer #FailureOfPassiveTransfer #IgGTesting #SNAPFoalIgG #Colostrum #HorseHealth #EquineVeterinarian #EquineMedicine #VeterinaryMedicine #NewbornFoal #HorseCare #HorseBreeder #EquineResearch #FoalingSeason Sources: • Equine Veterinary Journal (EVJ) • British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) This video is for educational purposes and constitutes Fair Use under Section 107 of the US Copyright Act of 1976.

    24 Thoroughbred Broodmares Ended up in a Kill Pen: How Did This Happen?

    When 24 Thoroughbred broodmares appeared in a Texas kill pen, the horse world erupted into debate. Rescue organizations launched emergency fundraising campaigns. Critics questioned whether paying bail prices fuels the system. Breeders, owners, and industry advocates found themselves facing difficult questions about accountability and horse welfare. But beneath the arguments lies a much larger issue: How do horses end up here in the first place? In this documentary, we examine the story behind the 24 Thoroughbred mares, the history of horse slaughter in North America, the rise of the modern kill pen economy, Thoroughbred aftercare programs, and the uncomfortable questions the horse industry continues to face regarding lifelong responsibility and horse welfare. This is not simply a story about rescue. It is a story about prevention. It is a story about accountability. And it is a story about what happens to horses when they are no longer profitable, competitive, or wanted. #HorseWelfare #KillPen #Thoroughbred #HorseRescue #HorseSlaughter #HorseRacing #EquineWelfare #RetiredRacehorse #HorseIndustry #ThoroughbredAftercare CHAPTERS 00:00 The Story of the 24 Thoroughbred Mares 02:37 The Kill Pen Debate Begins 2:12 How Horses End Up Here 04:00 The Business of Kill Pens and Rescue 04:30 Who Is Responsible? 09:00 The Thoroughbred Industry's Response Sources Discussed: • Paulick Report • Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance • Retired Racehorse Project • Industry aftercare initiatives and public reporting What do you think?

    What Is Ryder’s Law? The New York Horse Carriage Controversy Explained

    What is Ryder's Law, and why has it become one of the most controversial horse welfare debates in America? In this video, we explore the story behind Ryder's Law, the proposed New York City legislation that would phase out horse-drawn carriages and replace them with electric alternatives. The debate began after Ryder, a carriage horse working in Manhattan, collapsed in 2022, sparking international outrage and renewed questions about the future of carriage horses in urban environments. We examine the facts surrounding Ryder's collapse, the legal and political battles that followed, and why animal welfare organizations continue to push for reform. We also look at the arguments made by carriage horse drivers, industry representatives, labor groups, and supporters of the carriage trade who believe the industry can continue safely under existing regulations. Topics covered in this video: 🐴 What happened to Ryder in 2022 🐴 What Ryder's Law would do 🐴 The history of New York City's horse-drawn carriage industry 🐴 Horse welfare concerns in urban environments 🐴 The controversy surrounding carriage horse accidents 🐴 Arguments for and against Ryder's Law 🐴 The role of PETA and other animal welfare organizations 🐴 The future of horse-drawn carriage rides in America The debate over Ryder's Law raises larger questions about animal welfare, public safety, tourism, tradition, and the future of working horses in modern society.
