I mean, how could you fail to notice, and not be aware of the distress. You would not even have to know anything about horses to see the problem, and the resulting suffering ....

Yes Debs, I agree. Somehow, because they absolutely must have known those hooves were not right, to me it seems worse. It cannot be lack of knowledge, you would need know nothing about horses to see that the hooves are very wrong. I'm not saying lack of knowledge is a good excuse, but it takes away the intent to harm, maybe. But this case cannot be that they did not know there was a problem with the hoof growth at least.
For a flight animal, not being able to run must be just dreadful. |

Kit would 'almost' be better if it was ignorance.... At least those people could be educated! Unlike those that are downright cruel :( |

Oh, I just think there are too many ignorant people allowed to own animals in this world and its heartbreaking!  |

Dreadful, poor ponies. I don't understand how anyone could fail to notice severe laminitis and awful hooves. The sentences seem to be unduly light - as usual.

No excuses at all in my book. Just neglect. I don't get it either Pop. |

Yes Debs, really does. You search for a reason it might have happened, lack of knowledge, lack of common sense perhaps?, but no, that's just not possible. And the life ban, very appropriate, but we see so many 5 year bans for situations just as bad. |

Cruel, stupid, thoughtless people that have obviously lost any sense they may have been born with!
