There is a video clip at the link, showing the state of the ponies.
A stud farm owner has been given a three-month suspended jail sentence WHAT the FUCK???!!! after admitting one of the worst cases of neglect an RSPCA inspector had seen.
Dawn Elizabeth Rose, 49, who had admitted six cruelty charges, was also banned from keeping horses for 10 years, again, WHAT the FUCK?!!! by a judge sitting at Mold.
RSPCA officials brought charges after finding 69 horses starving or in a poor condition near Chirk, Flintshire.
Three of the horses later died. Others were "horrifically thin".
[...]
Glen Murphy, prosecuting, said the inspection team was "stunned" by the conditions - shown in court via a DVD - as Rose had already been issued advice notices.
He said: "Perhaps the worst example was a horse called Mist.
"The animal was described by Inspector Chris Dunbar as the thinnest horse he had ever seen and the vet David Martin was amazed it ever managed to stay on its feet.
"He said it was the thinnest horse he had ever seen alive or dead in 11 years."
[...]
Horrifically thin horses and ponies roamed in rancid paddocks, standing in their own excrement while foraging for scraps of food.
The court was told Rose, a mother-of-one, had agreed to hand over the horses because she was broke and could not afford their care.
[...]
James Bagby, defending, said his client had come through two abusive relationships and suffered from depression and anxiety. Oh, cry me a fucking river, bitch!
He said: "She tried to do everything she could." Sure looks that way from the video clip :rolleyes2:
Due to her financial circumstances, Rose was ordered to repay only £250 of the estimated £128,554 prosecution brought by the RSPCA.
[...]
"Their plight was obvious to you and your failure to alleviate it was cruel."
A 3mth jail sentence, suspended for 12mths, a 10yr ban on keeping horses, 100hrs of unpaid work, and made to pay just £250 of the £128,554 costs of her wicked neglect.
That judge sure taught her a lesson!
My sentence, had I been the judge, would have been slightly different.
The 3months would have commenced immediately, and it would have been 3months of standing in her own excrement, while foraging on the floor for any scraps of food she might be lucky enough to find.
Bitch.
