We were absolutely horrified by the photos posted on the Flicka Foundation Facebook page today - a welfare case posted because of the authorities' lack of action in an appalling case of animal cruelty in Cornwall - I won't post the photos on this blog because they aren't suitable for our younger readers...but here is a link to the page https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=598199226980886&id=321163488017796. The Animal Welfare Act is supposed to be there to enable us to stop and prevent cruelty to animals and there is a HUGE and ABSOLUTE failure of enforcement of this. Instead the authorities seem to do everything possible to avoid taking any action to help the animals involved, and almost seem intent on working against the very animal welfare charities that are there to help. Something we've seen many times before!
There is an update this evening to say that after putting huge pressure on the authorities one animal has apparently been euthanised, two are too weak to walk, and the others moved to a secure location. It is about time we saw prosecution cases being brought and proper enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act.
