On 9 January, Redwings was involved in a large rescue of horses from Buckinghamshire; we took in 21 horses, ponies and donkeys that day for veterinary care including donkey foal Esther. This was an RSPCA-led case involving local Police and other charities including the ILPH, the Horse Trust and the Blue Cross. All organisations concerned worked as a team, and Redwings was pleased to involve 30 of its staff and 8 horseboxes.


On 4 April a judge at Oxford Magistrates Court ruled that 29 ponies and donkeys should be returned to the family's care, whilst another 80 or so are to be sold at auction in May.

That is totally despicable, if the family were looking after their horses, donkeys and ponies in the first place then they would not have been removed. All of the equines should be found new, loving homes so that they can have a comfortable and enjoyable life, instead of being neglected and ill treat. Well done for alerting everyone to this matter estweyn and I have made sure that all of the family have signed the petition.

The joke is that 30 were found dead when they were rescued "they got behind with disposal of the bodies over Christmas" WTF!!! And the ones that are to be returned are not deamed to "be at any risk" How the hell the judge came to that conclusion is beyond me!!!

The animal welfare legal system stinks and isn't worth the paper it is written on!

:rant::huh: please please tell me why these horses are going back to certain death
has the jugde been paid off or something i wonder money talks !! :suspect::roll:
