Gruesome scene of horse suffering uncovered

Just three weeks ago, 25 thin and neglected foals, stallions and pregnant mares were removed from an isolated farm in Aberdeenshire. The semi feral horses had not been handled or received even the most basic of care for many months and were forced to wade through thick mud to reach what little grazing was available. They had been allowed to breed indiscriminately and the body of a still born foal had been left where it lay. A weak and collapsed filly was also found and had to be put to sleep.

The plight of the horses was discovered after a concerned member of the public called World Horse Welfares free UK Welfare Hotline. Field Officer Doug Howie was sent to investigate and was shocked at what he found. Doug knew that in order to get the horses signed over and ensure their safe removal, he would have to keep quiet about a terrible discovery he had made at the premises.

thats absolutely horrible to let happen to those poor innocent animals. just because the owner thinks he has a hard life doesnt by any mean give him the okay to make his helpless animals suffer too. i hope he gets what he trully deserves.

They get no government funding, only public support. What does this say about the kind wonderful and caring people there are out there in the world.

I can't believe it - if you want to drive a car, you must prove your abilities by acquiring a driver’s licence. But if you want to keep a horse, nobody is going to check, if you are able to treat them well. What kind of man treats horses that way?
