Whispering Willows Sentence

[Kaylum]

In case you didnt know she pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to animals and got a 10 year ban from keeping horses.

She is on tag for 20 weeks and cannot leave the house from 9pm to 6am.

Not a good sentence.

Many people gave her thousands of pounds in donations and over 100 animals were removed.

Awful woman. I’m glad there’s been some justice. Is there a link to a news article or similar?

It's on the ww facebook groups. The RSPCA were involved.

 

[honetpot]

She needs a ban from social media, or else she will be at it again.

 

[scats]

Dreadful woman. So many of us could see right through her, yet many were completely taken in by her.

 

[Pedantic]

We need Judges voting in or out by the public on their performance, so many criminals getting a slap on the wrist, and full sentences need to be served, too much of this let out early crap, victims get a lifelong sentence.

Yes the victims are the animals and people trying to help them.

What was particularly awful was that she preyed on the weak. A lot of the followers suffered with depression and health issues and were totally invested in the lies she span, giving what little they had believing it to help the animals.

 

[Cloball]

Not really a punishment in Covid times is it. I'm not really one for long sentences but I feel there should be some sort of reparations.

 

[sunnyone]

Curfew from 9.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m.? I wish. How does that really impact her life?
Everybody here in France is on a 6.00 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew and it's getting harder every day because daylight hours are extending so much. Oh, and we haven't all committed criminal offences.

So she is basically banned from overnight parties ? very useful in lockdown. I can't help it but sentences for animal cruelty are very often a really bad joke

The PROSECUTING lawyer said this??

"Prosecuting, Jon Tarrant told the court: "There has not been a deliberate act to this offending, but something where she lost control in the circumstances.""

Are you joking? The state of those pictures and that's an accident?

 

[Merrymoles]

Poor horses. I can't see all the pictures but those I can see are horrible.

I didn't follow this closely but am well aware that many people raised concerns and that they were vilified on social media. I hope that those who were responsible for that at least now feel some of the pain for being wrong that those poor horses suffered. It sounds as though a lot of misguided people were involved.

 

[Lipglosspukka]

I had not seen these pictures. I had not realised just how bad it had gotten. How horrifically sad.

 

[Laafet]

I remember when it was all kicking off and it was so awful how we all knew it would end up the way it did. I do think she had good intentions at the start but her ego got the better of her. She didn't take the help offered and as a result a lot of horses suffered.

 

[rascal]

Disgusting woman, and such a liar, so many were taken in by her.

 

[hobo]

Just dreadful the welsh news just popped up on my laptop. the first picture well I have probably seen worse but as I scrolled down it is just vile. The sentence is a joke.

[Wishfilly]

I genuinely don't think ignorance is an excuse. I really think we don't take animal neglect seriously enough. How could she not look at any of those horses and realise what she was doing was wrong?

She wasn't well intentioned. She was selfish.

I can't help thinking the reporter has it wrong which lawyer was speaking. That's just unbelievable otherwise, isn't it?

How can those pictures be excused as not deliberate, it takes months of neglect and starvation to get horses into that state.

The penalty was far too lenient.

absolutely disgusting sentance, IMO animal abuse should carry the same sentance as child abuse, as both are entirely dependant on their caregiver
