pony on train station taken from owner

[lamehorse]

remember the man that tried to board a train with his little pony ? well he has had it taken from him. admitted it was an unusual way to keep a pony ! pubs an stuff ! but im sorry i didnt really see he should have had it taken . it looked fine to me and theres certainly worse out there thats not sorted. what are your opinions ?

the little mare was in foal, he was seen in many different places so had obviously been walking around all day with her. He was trying to sell the mare in the pub too
i think she had some health issues too (dont quote me though)

eta - yes there are lots of worse unseen situations out there!! some people say the RSPCA and other charities favour more 'media' type stories.. and this was on the news... so...?

so basically there could have been serious welfare issues (which is the only way a vet would agree to the removal of a animal from its current situation) which have not been publised. Therefore as you don't know the full details of the situation I don't think you can judge on whether it was heavy handed or not!
