The truth about the Horse Hoarder

Can I join the growing group of banned HHO ers in the naughty corner? Think asking if they could supply me with a touring caravan for my hols if they were buying one for clwyd was a step too far! Hey ho and all that, I'll miss them!:D:rolleyes:

I only visited the FB page once days ago, but she was asking for a WB then. I just think that the whole Clywd, Michelle, RSPCA debacle is so contentious and since I am not in the thick of it and therefore dont have the true facts, i really wouldn't touch defending, supporting, or running down with a barge pole. Other than to say, regardless of any personal opinions of the RSPCA and their dealings and actions in general... I really do not envy them this case:(

CompetitionDiva - my point exactly. If the photos that are being claimed to have been taken at Clywds yard (dead carcasses) were part of a previous investigation as suggested by the original poster then he would have received a lifetime ban for keeping animals. As he received no such ban and has never been subject to a ban then how can the pictures be part of a legitimate previous case against him?

Just to point out BB, he wouldn't have necessarily recieved a lifetime ban, or even a ban at all. It is all dependant on the magistrate on the day, and people sometimes do get away with no bans and minimal sentencing.

It's not always black and white.:(

Yep.....I agree.....they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.....:(
 
I would suggest that anyone of that age would find it difficult to look after and manage one horse let alone the number he has. Just think of the work involved in poo picking the fields for that number of horses.
There definately seems to be an issue in the breeding world were people just do not know when to let go and continue in to their old age when they neither have the physical strength to look after a large number of horses.
The other issue is that very few people at that age have kept up with the latest methods of equine management and veterinary care as is seen by the lack of worming of these horses.
I would also suggest that the collecting of this number of horses is related to a mental condition.
In Australia there is legislation to prevent people from having large number of animals - if they wish to do so they have to apply for a licence and be regularly inspected.

Poo picking? :eek: If those photos from a few years ago are to be believed, he doesn't pick up their dead bodies, never mind their poo. :(
