If you are going to quote people then please put the quote into context.
For those that cannot be arsed to scroll back and back (I wouldn't!) I actually said that IF the authorities refused to act then the only option would be to walk away unless you wanted to become a criminal.
Blimey! It's just taken me an hour to read this thread! Well done to everyone, especially Andy and Chloe for bringing it to public attention. Good to know that those two poor horses should be getting out of there today.

Me too I should be packing as moving house but as yet have got nothing done today.
Can honestly say I am truely moved by the way everyone has pulled together to get help for these horses and am proud to be a member of HHO!
The RSPCA being the ROYAL society, also think they are the law. Just because they wear a uniform and hold ranks similar to the police, doesn't give them any more power than any other established animal welfare organisation although some of their personnel may think otherwise.
I sincerely hope this particular case has a good outcome, well done to the BHS for showing some initiative, and I hope this attracts sufficient media attention in order that the 'Bunny-Huggers' will reconsider which animal welfare charity they donate to in future.
Just saw this post. The horses look to be in a horrific condition, well done everyone who is trying to do something about it, I hope they get rescued today.
After leaving the forum, I have come back after being forced too by Brontie. I am amazed at how a forum can pull together to create such an outstanding outcome! Well done everyone! x
I think that the bail money comment may have been a joke about the HHO members needing to be bailed out if they get arrested?!
I may be wrong so stand by to be corrected!
Really pleased that they will be out of there today. Really broke my heart walking away from them this morning and leaving them there but at least I knew that they didn't have to wait long for the main group to arrive.
Well done everyone.
And Andy and Chloe - was lovely to meet you 2 wonderful people.
