Trexler case in the news again:
Seized horses remain in limbo

Is our government going too far in cases of alleged mistreatment of animals, or is it justified in taking healthy animals from their owners on allegations of neglect?
Here are a few links on a story I plan to follow up on, because it seems at least a bit suspicious.
