TRIGGER WARNING!!

Wtf have I just seen on Twitter?! I won't post a link, but you can Google it if you actually want to, although I should say it made me weep with rage!

Some absolutely vile excuse for a human being decided to kick and punch a horse for wandering off. It's shocking.

My blood is boiling! How dare they?! What will happen to them? Please someone tell me they will be at the very least, banned from ever owning an animal of any kind ever again.

What is the matter with people? Seriously need my faith restoring in humanity today.

The agenda really is irrelevant. Anyone could film me with any animal, and wouldn’t get ANY footage of me kicking or punching it. No matter how long they filmed for

Exactly.

Some people are very busy today on various threads protecting this abuser. How strange.

Be an abusive cunt, face the consequences.

treguffin · 10/11/2021 10:33

I don't think anyone is protecting her are they? I havent seen a single post saying she shouldn't face legal punishment.

treguffin · 10/11/2021 10:34

@WildExcuses

Why would anyone want to video that if they didn't have an agenda?

I’ve heard that they have seen the horses being abused on previous occasions whilst putting the horses in their boxes so the sabs were trying to get evidence of this hence the filming. Sounds fair enough to me.

Hmm
WildExcuses · 10/11/2021 10:34

And when you have to try to worm of shit on technicalities like ‘why was she being filmed’, you know you’re onto a loser. THANK GOD THIS ABUSIVE PERSON WAS BEING FILMED is all I can say.

WildExcuses · 10/11/2021 10:35

Why the emoji guff?

WildExcuses · 10/11/2021 10:36

worm OUT of

Viviennemary · 10/11/2021 10:37

Yes they are supporting her by making excuses. What about people at the appleby horse fair. Are they all subjected to rigorous dbs checks. No. What about meat eaters. Do they go up to cows and sheep in a field and start kicking them and punching them in the head. No. Absurd argument.

I have however seen numerous posts by you downplaying her cruelty.

Ok. Then we can follow anyone around going about their legitimate business and film them on the chance that they might do something shocking?

OK then.

treguffin · 10/11/2021 10:39

@milkyaqua really? Where?

WildExcuses · 10/11/2021 10:45

They’re not doing anything illegal by filming. The hunt know that they are filmed regularly. When the sabs have seen abuse before, it’s hardly ‘on the chance’ that they might do it. They’ve done it before, it’s been witnessed, chances are they’d do it again.

WildExcuses · 10/11/2021 10:48

really? Where?

Pretty sure it was you that said something like, ‘it’s unlikely to have hurt the pony’....that sounds very much like downplaying it to me.
If I told someone who said that their husband pushed them, that it probably didn’t hurt them, I’m pretty sure people would think I was minimising domestic abuse.

gettingolderbutcooler · 10/11/2021 10:53

@Clawdy

Somebody will recognise her, surely. Or will have watched it. Obviously someone was filming it.
She has been named thankfully.
WildExcuses · 10/11/2021 11:02

And also treguffin, you have brought up people eating battery eggs and other animal abuse where people were apparently not shamed on social media .....they’re all tactics people use when downplaying the issue currently being talked about.

VickyPollardsTracksuit · 10/11/2021 11:46

She’s gone into hiding now.
Stupid evil bitch attacks a innocent animal and hasn’t got the guts to show her face.
There’s horses near when I live. They are beautiful, graceful animals that love seeing us and are so gentle with us.
How could she do this and how can anyone defend her?

BlaBlaSmthSmth · 10/11/2021 12:27

@CovidCorvid

If the sabs had jumped in they’d have been accused of assaulting the woman/horse. The hunt would be busy deflecting attention from the real story by blaming it all on the sabs. The terrier men at the Cottesmore are known for physically attacking sabs, they like to ride around on quad bikes wielding chains around their heads while driving at the sabs.
What in the world?! How on earth are they getting away with all this??
BlaBlaSmthSmth · 10/11/2021 12:34

@NeverDropYourMoonCup

If the vegans on here were to be taken at face value, ie, that nobody who eats animal products has any business getting involved, hunting would be fully legal, as would bear baiting, dog fighting, cock fighting, home slaughter, whaling, seal clubbing and drowning puppies. Because omnivores form the majority of society.

It's almost as though they don't want anybody to want to improve animal welfare unless it's them - which means in practice that it won't be.

Holding on to a claim of special status as the Only People Who Care about Animals and aggressively verbally attacking people who do not think it's acceptable to kill foxes for fun or give a pony a punch in the head is a surefire of ensuring that more animals are harmed.

I agree with you but I don't think the people making those comments are vegans themselves. They seem to be people who want to derail and silence the discussion.

I’m vegan and massively into animal welfare and campaigning. You don’t need to be vegan to have an issue with someone kicking and punching a horse. This is another tactic to divert attention, most people can that.

I am also vegan and agree with you. I was agreeing with that point and saying that the people coming out with "I hope all those complaining are vegan" were not doing so because they were vegan but to derail the discussion about animal cruelty in the hopes that the majority of people will be afraid to speak out.
Alonelonelylonersbadidea · 10/11/2021 13:47

I think for most vegans what is irritating, and understandably so, is that so many people complaining about such things themselves give no thought to how the meat ended up on their plates or how the milk got into their coffee. They don't and it's cognitive dissonance at it's best. It makes no damn sense.

This was obscene. And cruelty to animals is happening constantly everywhere. It doesn't take much to see it.

Don’t be so ridiculous, there is plenty of focus from most omnivores, particularly in the uk about humane treatment of animals.

If you want to take a discussion and preach your issues about people who are not vegan start a thread on it. This thread is not about veganism. Not everything is.

But who cares what some individual vegans might find irritating though. It's completely a natural reaction to be appalled when witnessing such blatant animal cruelty. And you'd think vegans of all people would want to encourage awareness on the subject not shut down discussions on it.
bluewanda · 10/11/2021 14:27

Are you honestly saying there's no agenda here? Why on earth was she being videoed?

@treguffin what are you actually on about? That video 100% speaks for itself. She's a disgraceful individual, a nasty animal abuser and I'm so very glad she's been caught.

bluewanda · 10/11/2021 14:30

If she is guilty (we have only seen a short clip so do not know what the run up was)

It doesn't matter what the run-up was. You don't treat a horse like that under any circumstances.

Platax · 10/11/2021 14:31

As a matter of law, yes. What do you think all those CCTVs and traffic cameras are for?
