Remember that Daily Mail Story of the pony in the living room?

I was really hoping that this wouldn't turn out to be as bad as some feared. :(

Well done everyone who's trying to do something about this. Personally I hope she is prosecuted and banned from keeping horses.

The twitter idea is amazing! Is anything being shared around Facebook?
 
Has anyone thought of setting up a Facebook page ? Can post all of the images there and spread it round fb friends ?

Or some form of petition to be put forwards to the RSCPCA ? or try contacting BBC ? Watchdog ? This morning ? Etc .
 
Shame that we have to bully the RSPCA to take action

Sorry to quote directly, tho others have hinted at the same thing. It has been mentioned that various welfare organisations have been contacted and say that something is being done. If people involved are being monitored/investigated/whatever they probably can only go at a certain speed, by all means raise awareness & I think it's great the forum has rallied round together but I'm sure there probably is something being done already and joe bloggs public just can't be informed due to legalities etc. (NB, I have no ties to any charity at all and do agree that what this woman is doing is disgusting, far worse fates than the slaughterhouse, the situation most of the ponies have found them in currently having been 'rescued' by her being one of them! Just wanted to offer an alternative thought)
 
Why can they only go at a certain speed? Maybe TV makes it look different but I forget how many of these rescue TV shows I've seen where the situation is so bad that the animals have been removed straight away

They have to follow the law.

However, at least six animals over both locations I would class as an emergency, and should have been removed immediately.
 
Chaps89 makes a fair point. Legislation complicates everything and in order to be successful, the correct procedures have to be implemented.
Personally, I couldn't do what the animal welfare officers do everyday- see neglect and suffering and know that the people responsible can just replace confiscated animals without a second thought.
That's why the RSPCA's prosecutions department is so important and why all the animal charities work together and use the RSPCA's specialist legal resources to stop stupid people ever being able to keep animals.

However, public pressure can get certain cases highlighted and notifying as many agencies as possible, including the local council who licences the businesses like dog kennels and the advertisers too.
 
I am also tweeting celebs. Have done a few this morning, including Lord Sugar and Ian Solmerholder (he rides and is a huge supporter of Animal charities, he plays Damon in The Vampire Diaries if anyone was wondering)
 
Cant tweet so I have reported the ad to preloved and sent details to them . Dont know what else I can do from here. Those poor neddys
 
I've also been tweeting, currently going round all the jockeys. Have had at least 10 retweets in the space of an hour or two :)
 
I emailed the daily mail yesterday afternoon and gave them a link to this thread and the previous beeston thread....I have just had an email back to say.....

Thank you for your email.

I have forwarded your note across to the editor for his review. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

a bit of public pressure in this case will do no harm, plus the more people that are aware of this woman, her many different names and scams the better, make it harder for her to repeat her actions!
