I'm sure babeandbessy has gone today, no fb bans for me since sunday *touches wood*

 

[horseydebbie]

Who are Babe and Bessy?

 

[AmyMay]

Old friends are there. Bidding against private buyers.

 

[AmiRobertson]

Seriously? Poor horses

 

[horseydebbie]

if they don't I will be rather shocked, not sure the person who she is outbidding would give her any money anyway

 

[horseydebbie]

Did they buy anything?

 

[horseydebbie]

This has all gone a bit quiet. Does anyone know what they are up to?

 

[horseydebbie]

Does anyone have further updates on what has happened to the horses? Are they still buying at Beeston

 

[AmyMay]

Yes, they appear to be.

 

[AmyMay]

Interesting twist.

 

[cappucino]

Interesting twist.

Care to elaborate?

 

[AmyMay]

Well the Home for Horses 'charity' seems to now be openly operating as a dealing site. And the faithfull Elms' family ousted. So much for loyalty, and blinkers.....

 

[AmiRobertson]

I there a link?

 

[Patterdale]

Was just wondering what was going on with this saga...

I hope this means they have stopped begging for donations and paid everyone who donated to their 'charity' back in full!

 

[rowan666]

Well, well, well.... Hope all those hoplessly naive donators got their money back. Doubt anyone here is atall suprised

 

[AmyMay]

Oh no Cappacino, they still need money!

 

[AmyMay]

Sorry Ami, on tab so can't link to fb pages at the mo.

 

[cappucino]

Oh no Cappacino, they still need money!

Wait a minute, pass that one by me again... They are asking for donations to buy horses that they are then going to sell on for a profit?

Ok, that sounds legit

 

[AmyMay]

 

[AmyMay]

Here you go folks.

Enjoy.

OMG!

That is all...

 

[Meowy Catkin]

We want to eradicate horse slaughter in the UK as it is an unnecessary evil and a poorly regulated industry.

Do they not know of the terrible situation in America since horse slaughter was banned, or are they just sticking their heads in the sand?

It makes no difference to them. All they're interested in is actually buying and selling.

I'm not on facebook, so I can't get access to their page - but let me get this right in my own head. They are a private company relying on donations to buy horses on the cheap that they then re-assess/rehabilitate and then find homes for them? Do they have the expertise, space, stabling? Who's paying for any veterinary treatment, feed, farrier. dentist etc? Do they gift (for want of a better word) the horses to their supposedly 'forever' home, or do they expect some sort of payment? Is that the gist of it? What happens to any 'rescues' they buy that aren't suitable for re-homing, or are they just buying horses and not rescuing at all?
