Between 2000 and 2006, 13 healthy thoroughbred Lusitanian horses were born and raised on Mr. R\u2019s property. All horses (N=4) born or raised after 2007 developed asymmetric flexural limb deformities. WT began operations in November 2006.

This work aims to evaluate this problem by reporting the results from tissue alterations in the affected animals as well as environmental conditions and management changes, which could have led to this observation. A total of eleven affected animals were studied. In these, a complete physical and orthopaedic examination were performed specifically the determination of the angle between the dorsal hoof wall and the floor. Radiographic examination, CT imaging, determination of the thickness of the cortical bone of the third metacarpian and histopathology of some tissues collected in biopsy and necropsy were done in a subset of affected foals.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>All the animals had been supplemented with balanced commercial diet for equine. To investigate a possible genetic cause, two foals from distinct bloodlines were brought to the stud. These also developed the deformities after 6 months. Two of the affected foals were placed in a\u2028pasture away from the initial one and two others were admitted at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Lisbon. In those animals, except for one that had to be euthanized for humane reasons, an improvement was observed on their condition, with partial recovery of the deformity.\u2028Histopathology was performed from (i) the tendon obtained by surgical desmotomy in one foal, (ii) tendon biopsies were performed in three foals and (iii) from the tissue of one foal during necropsy. Histologically the most significant alterations were the dissociation of myofibrils of the smooth muscle. This was predominantly seen in the small intestine but also in the walls of small capillary vessels, including those of the tendon vasculature. The flexural deformities have a complex and multifactorial etiopathogeny. They occur due to uncoupling of the longitudinal development of the bone and its adjacent soft tissues, but also from shortening of the tendon-muscle unit in response to pain.\u2028In the case series presented here, there was no obvious cause for the development of this problem, therefore we hypothesised that unusual environmental conditions might have played an important role in the development of this condition, especially those introduced in recent years.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>~~~~~~~~~<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The following is the summary of a case study of a group of Lusitano horses that have been monitoried over 4 years which were the subject of a masters thesis at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Technical University, Lisbon, completed in 2012.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The study was performed by Teresa Margarida Pereira Costa e Curto,\u00a0 ADVISOR: Dr. Maria da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o da Cunha and Vasconcelos Peleteiro CO-ADVISOR: Dr. Maria Luisa Jorge Mendes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The study reports the findings from a stud where 11 foals developed flexural deformities of the front limbs, after they were born.

Surely, the farmer has introduced some toxin, changed some feed, neglected some precautionary measures\u2026and the new anomalies are HIS fault! And guess what?

Yes, they may return briefly but they don\u2019t stay. They live in and require a natural environment where they depend on the full use of their extraordinary senses\u2026acute hearing being one of the most vital. A deer will not browse if it suspects danger. It stops, stands still, listens, sniffs the air, watches for unnatural movement. Only when its senses tell it that all is well will it drop its head to eat \u2013and even then, for only a few moments before stopping to listen, again. The multi-level sounds and vibrations from massive turbines tear the air to shreds and effectively remove the ability to gain the relaxed state in which a deer can browse. Rather than starve, it will move on. But the wind industry will take a photo of a rabbit under a turbine, or a cow under a turbine, or a bird gliding gracefully above a turbine and say \u201cSee? You guys are wrong. You\u2019re fanatics. You\u2019re trying to scare people.

In the Year 2013 AD, given all the facts and evidence readily available to anyone choosing to seek them out, there is absolutely no scientific basis for this ridiculous LIE. (I DARE CALL IT EVIL!!!)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The wind industry is bringing \u201call guns\u201d to bear on this courageous doctor who is dedicating her professional life to investigating, writing, and speaking-out; to warn her own Nation and the world, of the truth about IWTs and their destructive effects on human life.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The most outrageously egregious fact in this \u201cwitch hunt\u201d by wind developer groupies in collaboration with the developers, is that Australia\u2019s \u201cprofessional\u201d National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and two other governmental groups are taking the charges seriously. The NHMRC claims it doesn\u2019t accept public comments on charges against individuals; an effective way to ward-off unwanted testimonials in support of a doctor who is in their sights. Other methods must be used to support Dr. Laurie. But what is to be done?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The Waubra Foundation\u2019s board of directors is standing behind Dr. Laurie; they submitted the initial response to the complaint on her behalf, calling for proper, public investigation of the charges and of WTS. But, the influence of the wind industry and pseudo-scientific \u201cwitch doctors\u201d (e.g., Professor of Public Health, Simon Chapman, a vigorous advocate for the nocebo effect) in Australia\u2019s professional and media circles is strong. Dr. Laurie faces an uphill battle, and the board\u2019s statement was the first volley in her defense.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What can Warriors Against Wind Energy do to help? I don\u2019t know the definitive answer, but I can suggest that the Australian Government and Media be made to feel the intensity of phone calls, e-mails, regular mail, blog exposure, etc., from WTS sufferers and knowledgeable professionals from around the globe.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>And, Warriors Against Wind Energy in Australia could redouble their efforts at this critical time, to reach the Australian citizenry, to stir the passions of righteous indignation against the lying anonymous sycophants and the wind industry developers seeking to destroy Dr. Laurie solely in order to rid themselves of a very effective force fighting against them. If she is not defended vigorously and loudly by those who know the truth, she will be figuratively sacrificed to the false, Wind Industry gods.

But, what do we say?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Beating the drums in the name of human victims is not working. We need to concentrate on the animals! The answer to claims of the nocebo effect is in the animal kingdom.

THEY, LIKE HUMAN CHILDREN, CANNOT COMPREHEND WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEM!!! Even so, they DO perceive the cause! And, they escape when they are able!!! The Ignorant and the Evil point to the rabbits and the cows photographed resting beneath IWTs, but they fail to realize that these animals DON\u2019T LOVE THE MONSTERS. They perceive the absence of infrasound and low frequency at the base of their torturer!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There are diagrams that show the angle at which sound waves propagate from the spinning heads of IWTs; they are projected outward in a cone-shaped geometry away from the tower! I believe the additional ILFN that propagates through the tower into the ground and outward from there, is concentrated in the equivalent of standing waves that are amplified into much stronger ILFN within the semi-circular, mostly hollow towers. Under and next to the IWT is the safest place to be if you\u2019re an animal and can\u2019t escape any other way.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The wind industry and others can successfully argue nocebo to the gullible, the ignorant and the willfully blind humans, because some human beings have reportedly evidenced a nocebo effect in certain instances unrelated to IWTs. But, to attribute WTS to such a notion is completely unfounded. So, how to prove this fact?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The answer, again, is in the Animal Kingdom.

Goats happen to be very sensitive to any sudden, loud, audible and low-frequency noise. Spontaneous abortion occurs readily in goats subjected to noise.

With every one, we were able to forestall the threatened inevitable, until all the factors merged to give Our Backyard the Big Victory for the present and, at least the near future.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Our own Ambient Noise Study, and proof of at least one Golden Eagle Nest one mile from the project boundary, helped to stymy RES\u2019 plans! Every delay is a true victory buying Time to deploy such weaponry, as God works the Big Picture.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>We didn\u2019t succeed in eliminating the immediate threat to our Fellow-Warriors across the county, but in that much larger community, there were too many people ignorant of the truth who did not want to hear it. They wanted to welcome Iberdrola to invade more deeply into their peaceful home. One town gladly accepted a $5000. check from Iberdrola to improve the Library.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>They won; now they have IWTs two miles from residences \u2013 which is actually a better setback than the county enshrined in its unlawful \u201cordinance\u201d \u2013 because Iberdrola actually realized they\u2019d better give more buffer, than they probably would have &#8211; apparently influenced by the good fight we gave them.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>That small setback victory was probably influenced by the fact their existing IWTs were destroying a Geodesic Dome house that had been featured in a national Home magazine! This was undoubtedly made especially clear to them when they knew we were conducting Ambient Noise Studies in all the threatened rural neighborhoods. Minimum results of 17.5dBA on my property to ~22.5dBA in other locations \u2013 including their new site, must have gotten their attention! [My advice to all threatened communities is, do whatever you can to conduct ANS studies BEFORE the invasion! We had a very capable Engineer, not an acoustics engineer, who did the work with high-quality rented equipment and wrote excellent reports. The developers may complain about lack of proper credentials, but they will take notice of the low results.]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>I apologize for letting tunnel-vision blind me to the reality of the huge gains each and every \u201csmall victory\u201d by Fellow-Warrriors represents in the Global War Against the Wind.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>But, I am infuriated and saddened by all the INNOCENT Cannon Fodder struck down as we fight the battles.
