Step away from the Clwyd page!

So there's a secret cabal? Why am I never invited to them?!

Agree that the focus should be on helping the horses, and possibly not just on patting oneself on the back for joining a Facebook group, as the support group seem to like doing. I was actually only Liking them to see what they were saying, the photos that were posted elsewhere seem fairly damning to me.

Is there anything I can do to help? Letters to the RSPCA or Channel 4?

I would think a letter to Ch4 would be a very good idea, some have already written, the more the merrier tbh

I know I keep saying this, but you don't have to 'like' a page to follow or even comment. 'Liking' gives them your support, which I won't do until I'm sure.

I've been following The Truth about CD page and commenting on it fora while but have only just clicked Like as I wanted to be sure it wasn't just a bitching page first.
 
Feel free to correct me but in short:

C4 run a programme about a scruffy but loveable old man who spends every penny he has on his 'pet herd' of (reasonably healthy-looking) horses (which has got out of control re numbers) and whose living conditions look to be appalling. No history given, just puts him (CD) and his long-suffering spontaneously generous 'Angel of Mercy' (MC) in a very 'feel sorry for him and feel admiring of her' light.

It is aired and people on here at first go 'Ahhhh' (mostly), some go 'Ermmm' after a few minutes and others go 'Yeah, right' (and get called trolls).

Within a short while, motives for making the programme, the perspective from which it is it filmed and the characters and history of the two main personalities are called into question and soon after that, threads appear on HHO and FB.

There is a blindly sycophantic 'we believe everything we see and are told' group which WILL NOT under any circumstances (even when presented with hard evidence) hear of CD being anything other than a misunderstood horse whisperer and almost 'The Second Coming' (seen 'em coming more like).

MC (AKA 'Angel of Mercy') defends her (alleged) little cash cow (CD) to the hilt and all hell breaks loose, with threats of litigation towards those who raised questions and made reference to historic and known abuse of horses by CD.

By this time, there are a few threads on here, two FB groups running and a thread on Horse Gossip, most with links to vital and relevant information and pretty much all of it heated and pointing to massive bias and porkies presented by C4 and the CD/MC supporters

And lots and lots and lots of donations from (feed to furniture) pouring in from the hoodwinked.
 
Oh god... Why do I wait for hundreds of pages before looking in again.... No... Can't.... Do.... It.... Must.... Watch... Take me out.....

Don't know about that but with the previous set of characters I was thinking a certain iffy admin (DDSCFE) there's only one person involved with all those initials so please no one ask for an explanation, would turn out to be the monk's long standing (or lying down) lover...
