    Will the owner be prosecuted? Like f*ck. Thank you Enda Kenny for protecting a "vital culture" that treats animals disgracefully.

    Strange they claim horses are such an important part of their culture ,yet treat them in such an abhorrent manner.

    If this thread actually stays open, I reckon we could link one of these animal cruelty incidents every single day.

    Anyone who owns a horse should demonstrate that they have stables to shelter the animal, land for the animal to graze and exercise and fodder to feed the animal. Anyone who does not have these facilities should not be allowed to keep horses. The same goes for dogs, cats, cows, sheep etc. Owners should demonstrate an ability to care for their animals. It isn't racist to insist on this it is simply humane.

    Anything else is animal abuse and animal abuse is not a cultural trait we should tolerate.

    Saw a photo of the weapons the PSNI confiscated, most people bring a mass card to a funeral. Our cultured friends bring slash hooks, hatchets and a gun.

    Ok. Explain to us why not tolerating animal abuse is racist?

    While you are at it can you explain why standing up against abuse of women and children (which is also widespread in certain "cultures") should be considered racist because certain lobby groups and apologists seem to think it is.

    In my experience the most racist people in this argument are often the members of the "cultural minority" who automatically see a member of the majority as being a stereotypical bigot without ever getting to know them. Yes a tiny minority are bigots but the vast majority have genuine interest in preventing child abuse, abuse of women, high crime, animal abuse etc and are opposed to anyone who practices these regardless of race Creed or "culture".

    I see all the pins and takeaways took preemptive measures and closed down for the day. The public and are more likely to get prosecuted for racial profiling.

    Why are people presuming travellers owned this horse?
    Plenty of young people buy horses cheap & then don't look after then properly.
    How many horses can be seen on green areas of housing estates?
    Or, like u see in the country, people leaving their horses on other people's land.

    It's disgusting BTW, whoever did it.

    It's blindingly obvious who did it, "pony found strapped to electricity pole without food, shelter or water." I wasn't born yesterday.

    Do you think there's any chance of that when fine Gaels minister for agriculture was getting convicted animal abusers in her constituancy off the hook?

    Seriously?
    Lots of places in the country have horses abandoned!
    This is not a new phenomenon unfortunately. When the recession hit, there were hundreds of horses all over the country abandoned!
