FARMER DISPUTES MALNOURISHMENT ALLEGATIONS – Two horses belonging to longtime Yukoner Jim Dillabough are seen Tuesday afternoon on his property off the Mayo Road. There have been some social media concerns that the horses in his care are starving. That does not appear to be the case, with plenty of hay in the fields that has been there for a while. It has been pointed out the feed in the photo is straw, not hay, and not adequate to sustain horses. The Star is looking into this and is awaiting the results of the Yukon government's investigation.
