SELFOSS, Iceland - On an autumn day on a lush green prairie, more than a dozen pregnant mares are waiting to be bled for the last time this year.
The video published last year showed farmhands beating and prodding horses with sticks, dogs sometimes biting horses, and the horses weakened after giving blood.
