What the petition asks
I am petitioning to help stop cruelty to horses . I have heard of a case that I think is disgusting which led to the death of several horses and the deterioration in health of other horses.owner took pleasure in torturing these animals . left malnourished and extremely unhealthy.3/4 found dead .
3/4 horses died in this woman’s care and left to rot. Another few horses rescued but in extremely neglected condition.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Animal cruelty is already a criminal offence under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, so we're not sure what other action you'd like Government or Parliament to take.
If you're concerned about a specific incident, you may wish to report it directly to the RSPCA:
