This story gets worse, a few years ago
Sandwell Council in their wisdom decided to remove a number of horses
from the Tipton area which traditionally had grazed on council land.
Back in November 2011 the BBC even ran
a story that the Tipton horses could be sold at auction if not
reclaimed.
the problem was Seized horses could be
retrieved by owners but only at a cost of £2,000 a very large sum.
Horse owners put on horse drawn
processions appeared on TV and Radio asking Labour to reconsider.
Even the local Conservative councillor
appeared on TV asking for the Labour run council to reconsider and
relent on their plans,
Labour did not listen, and the horses
disappeared.
Now following revelations from the
National farmers union it seems Tipton Horses may have gone
for food
A Sandwell Council representative said
"They allow them to breed like
there's no tomorrow and, yes, the foals disappear."
Well Sandwell Council, the people need
answers?
How many Tipton Horses impounded by the
council went to the abattoirs for food ?
Did any Labour Councillor or Labour MP's know these horses may go for food ?
Sandwell Tory said
if this turns out to
be verified as true its an absolutely disgraceful
If councillors knew they should resign
if they didn't know they should resign, for not knowing
I bet not one councillor will go

ReplyDeleteHave you not heard of health and safety? The horse people in Tipton have had a good run for their money (or should I say free) regarding grazing.As these horses have caused injuries to the general public,how long before you would be complaining when someone sues the council?
ReplyDeleteMore power to the Council I say,no matter what political party they belong to.Get rid of these horses once and for all and drag their owners into the 21st Century.If you cant afford to PAY for grazing,don`t have a horse!
