Good work from RSPCA and WHW..

Given the condition of carrot and spud at the time.. another vet should have been called to give their opinion. iirc the vet had seen them a month previously and deemed them fine, despite further calls in the following month nothing more had been done despite the fact that animals can deteriorate in a month.

this is the very original post if you'd like to have a read

iirc a hho user inadvertently phoned the vet involved to ask him to attend (he was her vet at the time and he said he knew about them and they were fine)


They had apparently been the subject of numerous calls over the preceding years by all counts (this was 24 hours after the original thread I think)) http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=301206&highlight=carrot+spud

as a footpath ran through their field so they were seen by people regularly.

After the pics were posted on here by a none horsey person who didn't know what to do next given their condition, and BHS welfare got involved the ponies were swiftly removed as the above post.

so you can hopefully understand why we would say that the RSPCA would leave a horse like that because they did, they could have got a second opinion, or seen the horses at a later date after the vet visit but they didn't.

The awful thing is is that this isn't even an islolated incident; in every case near me (and sadly there have been several) it has always been that they didn't bother to attend or said that emaciated and neglected horses have been 'fine'. As Joanne, the RSPCA would be my last port of call.
 
Rang them after finding a steatite dog in garden - RSPCA not interested

Stray horse in field- not interested

Deer stranded in river - not interested

Parrot in tree - not interested.

Fortunately I was able to help deer and other charities helped the others.

And also a ' charity' that has the means to donate millions to the labour party has no support from me
 
So stints different people have different ideas but bet more humans left to suffer than animals FIL mid nineties no legs doesn't want to live but can't do anything about it.
