Everybody who is able should get there on Monday to really vent there anger outside the court. The TV camers'a and paper photographers will be there and then polititions and the wider public will be in no doubt how angry people are about this.
 
Whilst I agree that some sort of public protest should be made, I hope it doesn't degenerate into the scene Tinypony envisages. It would make the equine community look disordered and undisciplined (which we are not). I just hope that anyone planning on protesting does so lawfully and non-violently. Don't draw attention to yourselves for all the wrong reasons.
 
Yes see your points about not looking like a mob, but think if no-one is there it looks like no-one cares and that is obviously not true.

Yes, numbers will speak volumes, but it doesn't have to be 'mob' culture.

If I were nearer I would be there.

The last time James Gray was done for this sort of thing he didn't bother turning up for the hearing and got fined £20,000 and then just started doing it all over again!
 
Well, I can't go because I'm working. I think it would be amazing if a silent protest could be organised - everyone wearing black and doing nothing at all as he arrives. Maybe posters with photos of the starved horses. I can't see that happening though, and sadly think that it will turn into a frenzy, similar to recent case re a mare that had been attacked.
 
I do think that whoever did that to the horses should face the full force of the law.

However, I would be worried about mob rule and trial by media. The bloke due on court is, as far as I am aware, answering charges of assulting a police officer and criminal damage - correct me if anything else has been brought.

Moreover, that bloke is INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, and therefore should the equestrian community should respect that constitutional right.

The protest should be if/when he is convicted! Or in a nutural place against the neglect and cruelty in general.

(I'll get off my high horse now)
 
hi guys, i think this might help to out your mysterious poster "thetruth" i think you might just find its a certain miss barksway horses, what with her having been his shall we say ""close companion"" for the best part of a year till his wife found out and banished him to the caravan seen in the news shots, as you can see the grasp of thetruth on the english language and grammar are on roughly the same intellectual level, hopefully she will be next stop for the rspca
