He should have got a total ban for all the other injuries he inflict on all his other animals.
I am a Rosebank resident and this man has been torturing these horses for years.Those horses should of been taken from him years ago.Its a disgrace that he only got off lightly and no horses were seized
I am shocked that this disgraceful man has got off so lightly but hopefully with all the wonderful work & hours that the members of the East Coast horse rescue have put in
it will raise awareness & much needed funds to prevent cruel & ignorant people like this person to ever treat an animal like that again.
What now for the ROSEBANK horses?.
Animal cruelty laws need to be addressed and the need for more inspectors in this region is urgent .
Well done to all involved in exposing this man.
I thnk that his sentece was far too light. I agree with the message above – what is in store for the Rosebank horses now? Animal cruelty should be condemned and must be treated as a serious subject by local legislators, veterinarians and officers of animal welfare groups.
