(ANSA) - Volterra, October 18 - Two more horses were found
dead on Friday at a rehabilitation centre managed by the Italian
Horse Protection (IHP) association in Volterra, where nine other
horses have died in recent months, the association said.
It said both horses were in good health.
IHP President Sonny Richichi said analyses performed by the
Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute in Livorno excluded the
possibility of poisoning as the cause of the nine other horses'
death and "thus far there is no explanation" for the deaths.
"We are renewing our appeal to all institutions to help us in
finding the cause. We can't accept that these recent two deaths
remain unanswered," Richichi said.
