Should rescues buy from the meat man.

Sorry I don't mean to offend.

DSPCA which is an Irish equivalent has paid puppy farmers for puppies they "seized".

If the Irish charity system can't or doesn't regulate the charities then I'd see it as the fault of the Irish system.

In ireland our own minister for agriculture who oversees animal welfare has said on numerous occasions that there is no animal welfare crisis in ireland. I find that disappointing. http://www.thejournal.ie/horse-welfare-ireland-1252307-Jan2014/

If one of the countries largest charities in animal welfare pays off puppy farmers, then what's to stop others doing it/? Particularly as charities aren't regulated here.

and he's active in foxhunting with hounds...useless that fool.Hope he gets kicked in the coming election
 
i liked this rescues page quite a while ago, but to me its all very strange.
It seems like every fortnight or so they go off and come back with a fair few horses from the meat man.
The turnover looks very suspicious, one pony was there a week, all tacked up still underwieght and off to make a little girls dreams come true. How can this be right? Thats no time at all to check the horse out or evan begin to get to know if it has any issues, let alone do a home check.
The rate of turnover to me just sounds like a conveyor belt. Doubtless some horses or ponies may indeed go off and live happily ever after,but equally doubtless is the fact that some will go back into the downward spiral leading to more suffering of back to the queue they came from in the first place. I really don t get this woman at all. she sounds like a raving idealist who at the very least is extremely naive.
 
Just looked, its all pretty horrendous! Too many animals altogether, they mustv bought about 100 off the meatman recently according to the AHAR page posts
