Good morning all,

Article summarized in caption below the picture of the 2 beautiful pets.

The prepper angle:

If a horse gets infected and dies without burial, add a short timeline for the rest of the area's mammals and swamp creatures to get infected

In a SHTF environment, a dead horse must be buried without the benefit of earth moving equipment like Cat Tractor manufactures. Work gloves won't be available in the supply trailer nor a supply trailer. Factor all this in. Know your area and areas you might realistically enter. Use the FEMA doctrine " realistic, worst-case scenarios".

After digging and etc. disinfect yourself / clothes. The horse disease making the rounds in the news now-a-days is "EEE".

That's all I know. I took a 2 day course/seminar on this. The event was no-cost to participants less chipping in for pizza for lunch. A gracious county (not here) provided, free to participants ,coffee, espresso and some sodas.

Prep, prep, prep
and
factor in safety
