BBC1 Wales - abandoned horses in S Wales

[duckling]

Anyone else watching Week In, Week Out about the fly grazing/loose cobs across South Wales?

They've named Tom Price (http://www.welshgypsyhorses.com/) almost straight away... Wonder if the Police will properly get involved now?

I was aware of the problems but didn't realise the scale. It's absolutely shocking

Tbh I'm more shocked at the authorities inability to deal with the situation effectively.

It's all red tape.

Tbh, I hope nick plait is highly insured...


Photos of his house, sons (yes, small fat one too) and him.

I do hope he was well paid.

It's awful The police seem to be so reluctant to do anything though, I know at the end they said they'd set up a taskforce due to all the calls they'd had, really hope that means something will change... Just hope it doesn't take a nasty road accident to spur them into action. Sadly I think the vet was right though, PTS will probably end up being the only viable option.

Mass cull is overdue.

But I would never in a million years badmouth that man. Let alone pretty much name him.

Brave man, very brave.

I thought the same, really surprised they did!

Eugh, G'morning already.

I have a friend in Wales that's very very good friends with him. Even she said, as a friend of many years, she would not entertain the idea of bad mouthing let alone pointing the blame in his direction.

Says a lot really doesn't it?
