Mallorca carriage driver erupts after tourist asks to water thirsty horse

Palma de Mallorca authorities are investigating after a horse-drawn carriage driver allegedly vented rage at a German tourist who asked him to water a thirsty horse. The confrontation included ethnic slurs, body-shaming remarks, and the driver splashing water on the woman. The incident, occurring in hot conditions around 90°F, has spurred calls from animal-rights groups to revoke the driver’s license and for animal-free carriage alternatives, with officials examining complaints about horse welfare and previous similar incidents.

117 dog remains found at California rescue amid abuse probe

California authorities uncovered at least 117 dogs buried on the property of Miranda’s Rescue in Fortuna as part of an ongoing fraud and abuse investigation. The remains were found at two sites during searches authorized by a warrant, with initial on-site exams by forensic veterinarians noting bullet fragments in many animals. About 71 bodies were examined on-site with 46 others not yet reached; some remains were too degraded to recover. No charges have been announced, and investigators warn the process will be lengthy as they identify dogs (including microchip checks) and pursue accountability.
