It's difficult to fault veterinarians for not treating unvaccinated horses in locations where hendra is endemic. It's not worth a human life, to provide palliative care to neglected livestock. It's also not worth getting prosecuted. Apparently Department of Workplace Health and Safety doesn't want these animals treated at all.<p>also please correct the link to: <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/07/anti-vaxxers-horses-hendra/559967/" rel="nofollow">https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/07/anti-vax...</a><p>It seems perverse for the link to just point to itself like this.
