I'm recalling an article that I think was in one of last Sunday's papers. It was titled Brood Mare Foal Deaths or something like that. It alleged that "ordinary" mares were bred so as to produce milk so they could nurture the foals of racing mares, who could not spare the time. The story reported the foals of the ordinary mares were killed and sometimes their hides sold for decorative purposes.
A horribly cruel practice to be sure. But thinking about it now, I'm skeptical. If I were an investigative reporter, I'd look into these circumstances. OUCH!
