THERE ARE PEOPLE USING AND ABUSING HORSES ALL OVER QUEENSLAND.THESE PEOPLE PICK UP CHEAP AND NEGLECTED HORSES FROM DOGGER SALES.
THEY PUT THEM IN FOAL YEAR AFTER YEAR.THEY CANNOT AFFORD VET SERVICES IF A HORSE GETS SICK OR INJURED THEY SIMPLY SELL THEM IN THE DOGGER SALES
THEY DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE FOOD AND WATER.
IF THE MARES DO NOT GET IN FOAL THEY ARE SOLD AGAIN IN DOGGER SALES.
THE FOALS THAT DO NOT GET SOLD VIA THE INTERNET OR HOMEMADE SIGNS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THEY GET SOLD AT THE DOGGER SALES.
OFTEN THESE PEOPLE IN BREED AND USE COLOUR STALLIONS TO SELL ON FOALS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE REGISTERED.
OFTEN FOALS LOSE THEIR MOTHERS DUE TO POOR NUTRITION WHILE PREGNANT.THESE MARES ARE OFTEN SO SKINNY WITH BONES STICKING OUT USUALLY IN FOAL AGAIN AND ONE FOAL STILL SUCKLING.
THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST AFTER MONEY.THEY DO NOT WORK THEY SEE THESE HORSES AS A DISPOSABLE COMMODITY.
THESE HORSES END UP IN SLAUGHTER YARDS BOUND FOR FRANCE OR AS DOGFOOD.
INTRODUCE BETTER POLICING OF WAYBILLS AND LIVESTOCK RECORDS TO PREVENT THESE HORSES FROM BACKYARD BREEDERS.
CHANGE LAWS SO THE RSPCA HAVE MORE POWER TO FINE,JAIL AND REMOVE HORSES FROM NEGLECTED CONDITIONS.
