I just read that Sarah Moulds that dreadful woman who was caught on video kicking and punching a horse has been sacked from her job as a teacher. Can't say I'm sorry.

Yes what we need is a statement from the horse.🙂

AfterSchoolWorry · 20/12/2021 23:07

Ah boo hoo

Fuck her. I've no sympathy for her.

@Megan2018

She is not a nasty piece of work. We are a tiny community (the school has less than 50 kids 5-11) we all know of each other. I have a horse, I wouldn’t hit mine like that. I don’t agree with what she did but it’s a huge overreaction whipped up by sabs and the media. It is very sad here.
"Sabs?" Thank god for "sabs" trying to protect our foxes and wildlife from these sickos.

@Megan2018

I’m very sad for her. She would’ve been DD’s teacher soon. The community here is very sad about it all. Her behaviour was unacceptable but the witch hunt unnecessary. It’s our children that are suffering- not the trolls online that have rejoiced in it all.
I am not a troll rejoicing in it. I am very glad to see that a person who was seen violently seen abusing a sentient being, is no longer on a position of influence over children. Unnecessary uncontrolled violence should never be accepted.

Milly74 I couldn't agree more.

HeronLanyon · 20/12/2021 23:10

Well Megan I saw nasty violence inflicted on a horse. Sounds like you did too. ‘Sabs’ oh dear.

FrownedUpon · 20/12/2021 23:11

There are teachers in our schools who do a lot worse unfortunately, but they are never caught. She’s very unlucky it was filmed.

Oh but she is. And anyone defending her actions is as well. We all saw the footage
Clawdy · 20/12/2021 23:11

I would not want my kids to be taught by someone who could lose their temper in such a violent way.

ninnynonny · 20/12/2021 23:12

I simply wouldn't be able to look at someone who did that to a defenceless animal, let alone allow them near my child. I can only imagine the type of 'community' she lives in. Braying fox hunt loving delaigtful village no doubt.

The video footage said it all. How is it a huge over reaction? I see nothing at all ‘sad’ in what she did. She deserves all she gets and how you can defend ANYONE that treats an animal they way she did is beyond my comprehension. You say you wouldn’t hit yours like that but would you kick pull or be heavy handed with horse?

You can see people inflicting "savage violence" on horses at every racecourse up and down the country though. Unless you think that those whips are for tickling

HeronLanyon · 20/12/2021 23:17

boxer good point !

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/12/2021 23:17

I find it astonishing Megan that you'd want such a person teaching your DD. If she can't keep her temper with an animal what makes you so sure she'd be like Mrs Tumble with your little one and her class mates.

And be equally appalled and hate it

This really isn’t humour.
Valhalla17 · 20/12/2021 23:18

Great! I also hope SS keep a close eye to ensure she doesn't inflict anything similar on her children. Despicable woman.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/12/2021 23:19

"Shes not a nasty piece of work"

Don't put that to the vote

I find horse racing abhorrent
BeagleBeagled · 20/12/2021 23:21

Well done to the wonderful people who filmed her.

curlymom · 20/12/2021 23:22

She’s nasty and shouldn’t be allowed to be responsible for children. Good for sacking her

Enzbear · 20/12/2021 23:25

She deserved to lose her job. Nasty woman. I wouldn't want to be around here never mind trust her with kids with her temper.
