Tweets from various California-based turfwriters and horsemen late Thursday indicate that barns at San Luis Rey Downs training center have caught fire as part of the rapidly-spreading Lilac Fire which started earlier in the day. Trainers there are telling media that one or more buildings at the facility are on fire. Some horses have been removed from their stalls and turned loose onto the training track, which an official with The Stronach Group, owner of San Luis Rey Downs, said was a confined area.
Trainer Cliff Sise told CBS 8 that one of his horses perished as he tried to save her. He estimated there were 10 to 15 horses dead as of about 8:15 p.m. EST.
Gut wrenching video of efforts to free horses. A number are safely moved to Del Mar but it’s feared many remain loose, while others have succumbed to smoke inhalation and injury.
Rancho Padilla, it’s worse. As of this AM there were over 2 dozen that died. https://nypost.com/2017/12/06/dozens-of-horses-found-torched-to-death-in-california-wildfire/
That’s horrendous. And I can’t … unread … an article that described multiple charred horse carcasses. But I have been getting increasingly frustrated at the apparent lack of interest in the SOURCE and IGNITION of all these fires in CA … not just these most recent fires … but years of these fires in urban and suburban settings. My local media can ONLY discuss the “conditions” which are making these fires difficult to control … including the fact that too many people live in “horse country” i.e. the “country”. If we just focus on USING these fires to shill for Global Warming and human encroachment on wilderness … and don’t look for the cause(s) … then we will be powerless to STOP this from happening. Make no mistake … these fires are being SET!! Deliberately DURING high wind events. By whom? I believe there are multiple groups and individuals who have a political point to make. Psychotic LOSERS who “believe” that DESTRUCTION = “change”. We need to find the SOURCE(s) of these fires and STAMP THEM OUT. PERMANENTLY. Global Warming my ass.
er, climate change, you ass!
Environmental Fanatics have been burning down apartment buildings and residential developments that were under construction in LA and many parts of California.
Jihadis have already used arson in Israel to set fire to forests. We have domestic Jihadis here in the US too.
Both groups are terrorists. People have died in these fires, so now they could be murdering terrorists?
Antifa or ISIS is my guess
Back when my sister got caught in the Dollywood Tenn. fire, which killed 8 people.
Sick leftest, liberal, global warmers sent emails making fun of our death and destruction in the Appalachian mountains.
Said we were being burned because God is punishing us for voting for Trump and that we were climate deniers.
One of the emails is from Los Angles,
I served as a voluntary Fireman.
Fire is never funny or deserved, and when you are in its path, there are no safe spaces.
this is how stinking rotten the leftistism is with msm. even something at this scale will NOT breach the ‘cone of silence’ to pointing the finger at activists, psychotic in their delusional justification. a death cult, every time they ‘succeed’ in some objective, they look around for another target, oftentimes those not ‘sufficiently’ on the left end of the spectrum. it is a suicidal death cult. the last remaining 2 leftists on the planet will fight to the death. it is a self hating death cult par non.
Indeed. There have been SERIAL arsonists hitting multiple housing developments throughout the radical liberal bastions of Oakland, and Emeryville … and San Francisco. Just in the last year!
