You can read it for yourself -if you can stomach it follow the link above - but it isn't for the feint-hearted. I thought I was tough, thought I'd seen it as bad as it can get, and yes, we've seen horses near to death and dead but this...this is beyong all comprehension. How could these people go to their beds at night knowing those horses had nothing, some of them not even the luxury of being able to lie down albeit in filth? How could a youth of 15 drive his foot into a recumbant dying horse? and worse of all how could a qualified veterinary surgeon dismiss the clear evidence in front of him as alright?
Please please sign the EMW-UK Welfare petition where we pledge to you we will fight to get the changes needed so that cases like this will never ever happen again. We are calling for many changes, most in line with the excellent N.E.W.C. Code of Practice but as well we want to see ALL horse dealers licensed and accountable by way of monthly statutory yard inspections. We also want a cap put on the amount of equines that anyone private person can purchase from anyone auction at any one time. If you deal in horses you get licensed and inspected, statutory, if you are a private buyer you can only take two horses at a time and a cap should be set on any private owners of no more than four horses at one time before some form of licensing comes into play. It's pointless chipping and passporting horses when the owners have no culpability.
This is what EMW-UK is aiming towards.
