Local Rescue Centre South Wales - The Truth

I know which side I'm on, thanks. If there's one single thing that hasn't been said in the horses best interests over the last week, or however long it's been going on for, please let me know, and I'll be the first to say it.

How are another couple of hundred faceless internet users wading in going to help anything? I think the proprietors are quite clear on how their operation is viewed, how they deal with it is yet to be seen, and to keep it going is bordering on internet bullying and the kind of thing that gives H&HO a bad name.

Well thanks to the internet users *wading in* something might be done about the neglect of those ponies, and it has brought it to the attention of the proprietors that the ponies are starving. Internet bullying, no, just concern and anger that this can go on in an establishment running under the umberella of a charity. So remove the lemon from your mouth and realise that the "proprietors" are not the ones hard done by, the ponies in their care, are!

I have no lemon in my mouth. I realise the ponies are the ones hard done by. Those in a position to act on behalf of the animals welfare are taking action. We've had & got the required & necessary concern and anger. What exactly more do you want this thread to achieve? This very belated thread reeks of gossip & $hit stirring and I fail to see how that can help.

This belated thread, started by me, was a genuine question for TFC, which has been answered by PM.
 
^ Oh. Well then I'm confused. It doesn't appear it was you that started this thread (unless you have an alter) and I see no question being posed in the original post.
Apologies if I have the wrong end of the stick. :)

DOH! Wrong thread, my bad, long day and kids on hol! :D

Sorry, no the other thread, which I think is still here somewhere was me. :o
 
^ ahh gotcha. So I'm not as bonkers as I'm often accused of being :D

I think its very important that issues like this are brought to the publics attention (which it seems you originally did, so thank you), and indeed the faceless internet users wading in can (and have) make a huge and important difference.

All I'm saying is it's done, the drama is still out there live & kicking on FB and any updates are more than welcome.

But this thread isn't an update, I can't see what the point of it is. Seems like gossip to me. But that's obviously just my opinion, and I don't want to ruin anyones 'fun' so OP - no offense intended :)
 
Gugglebum, this whole story is new to me I didn't realize it had been going on for a week already. The more people who knows about whats happening the better imo, the more reports the welfare societies receive the better chance of something being done about it. There are people who don't know about this yet and hopefully they will see this thread and make their way over to the facebook page and have their say. If tfc didn't remove the original threads there wouldn't be any reason to make another one

Pastie, well bloody said

mymare, you know me :D

I hear you, I really do. But having lost at least an hour of my life reading that FB page plenty, plenty, plenty of people have voiced their disgust. There's been pleading, begging, offers of help, solutions suggested - the lot.

I just can't see the good that a whole additional bunch of people posting 'omg the poor ponies that's awful' is going to do. Sorry if I spoke out of turn, I'll return quietly to beneath my rock :p. We all have the horses best interests at heart I suppose, my point is neither here or there really :o

Hopefully soon we'll have a positive update on the situation :)
 
Please don't hide under any rock, 'tis too dark and cold under there :)

Another sanctuary has arranged a delivery of hay for the ponies and it will be arriving tomorrow - a positive at last :)
 
Please don't bicker & put each other down about whose thread, whether it is too late, if internet forums do any good etc. The main thing is seeing cruelty & not walking away. EVERYONE should jump up & down & really shout about it with whether somebody else has already said about it. The WEIGHT of opinion does more good than a lone voice, but always be prepared to be that lone voice if needs be.

Oh its not so bad under here once you get used to it. I've got a fan heater and a candle to read by :D Thanks for being so good natured about my comments, restored my faith in HHO users a bit as you could easily have kicked off :)

If this is Little Tinkers, I think the world of them after following that FB stuff. When funds allow I'm definitely making a donation, I must check out their website. This isn't an empty promise that I'll forget.

Ummm... it's a bit more complicated than that, but thanks for the lecture anyway ;) :)

Kicking off at each other wouldn't help the situation at all, it would of just made this into another bitch fest which was not my intention at all. I'm glad some faith has been restored in HHO :D

Yes it was Little Tinkers, I'm so glad there are decent people out there who try their best to help :o
