Through a FOIA request to the PA Dept. of Agriculture, I have confirmed the following kills at that state’s tracks last year (this is part 2; part 1 here). As always, the response came with this: “PDA has withheld records related to necropsy reports as they are exempt from disclosure by law.” So, detail is lacking (I have supplemented with chart notes where possible).
