I asked the RSPCA for clarification re the 82 auction horses as they weren't mentioned in yesterdays press release. Here's the update:
"A hearing to decide the immediate fate of 29 donkeys and Shetland ponies owned by the Gray family has resulted in the animals remaining in the care of the RSPCA and other welfare organisations, pending the result of a High Court appeal.
Deputy District Judge Sandeep Kainth, suspended his original court order for the 11 donkeys and 18 ponies to be returned to the family, and for the remaining 82 horses to be sold at auction, in light of representations made by the RSPCA at Oxford Magistrates Court yesterday (14 April).
The matter will now be taken by the RSPCA to the High Court, during which time the whole court order, made on 4 April, will be stayed."
