If you abuse or neglect an animal, they should be taken from you and you shouldn't be allowed to own animals again. Simple as that.

[@erwinkelly6063]

not enough prison time.

[@catnewman4565]

Cant see why she didn't get 5 years. She deserved the full whack of the law.

[@tracy7880]

She was all smug when she went to get the horses back but she got a reality slap in the face. I wished this could be done here in America!

[@ferrygirl100]

Why let one starve and keep the others in tip top condition. I hope she rotteds in jail!!!!!

[@BK-is5fj]

1:30 Look at him :( he didn't wanna go with her. This is so sad

[@Tyson-co4oc]

You could tell the horse didn't want to go with her. It looked absolutely horrified

[@NonnyMus1]

It must have been heartbreaking to have to send that horse back to its abuser, but I'm glad it worked out in the end and the horses are safe.

[@natashabarnes546]

Don't hurt horses they are amazing animals and don't deserve to be neglect

[@graciesilver1830]

+Natasha Barnes exactly!!!

[@MaritsView]

This person deserves prison for a long time. Period. And l heard she got them back? Oh...MY... @&&" Unbelievable

[@heatherkelman4007]

Disgusting. What an appalling human being she is.

[@truthistheonlywaytruthisth6387]

Thank you for protecting horses!!!You are all heroes.

[@susiegoodman4425]

What on earth is going on - these people should be jailed for the horrific cruelty they allowed to happen - shame on everyone - apart from the rescuers - well done !!!!!

[@majorpain1012]

Horses deserve a loving life. Sick people are dumb 😠😠 I'm a horse lover and wants to help save animals but im still go young 😢 my dream is to go and save animals lives!

[@tamzinwilliams6777]

[@molliehinton4023]

Well done world horse welfare I am a sponsor and pleased to be part of your rescues. At last these houses will be safe with you 👏👏👏👏

[@mrbluenun]

Hi, I wonder like many others here why Delia Stacey, and I would personally like a reason why these horses were ever returned to the woman who was responsible for killing at least one horse. This sends a tremendous and disgusting message to the world where horses are a necessity for life, Honduras for instance. Is or was this decision because of a single Judge not being fully aware of just how badly this woman Delia Stacey treated, by simply NOT CARING FOR A PREGNANT HORSE, WITHIN VIEW OF FOOD JUST A MATTER OF METRES AWAY, BUT NONE GIVEN TO PERHAPS THE ONE HORSE, A PREGNANT ONE WHO NEEDED IT?

[@pawsinpaint]

Thank you for saving horses.

[@monkfry]

Wow again, this guy has the biggest heart. Even when that person was able to take the horse back he helped to keep it calm while loading. It was easy to see the horses hesitation. They're extremely smart animals.

[@tinahamilton9058]

She clearly has no love for the animals, why does she continue to have them?

[@karaamundson3964]

What a monster. You could see it just in the abrupt way she handled that chestnut, and the unwillingness and near fear in what had been a quiet horse's eye.

[@louisasmiles]

the woman loading the horses looks nasty... agitated.... irritated

[@doraholloway5184]

It's sad how there are too many horses in the UK for the actual number of people willing and able to properly care for them.

[@blisswest]

That's great. Why cant more people that let horses suffer be put in jail. Should lock them all up.

[@lauraneligan5272]

why do people do such horrific things? abusing horses isn't gonna get you anywhere...

[@chloetaylor1271]

I whish she had a whole LIFE in prision.m

[@teresaakins1408]

You people do amazing work .😮im so so.happy you all are there....

[@gigihaycox1475]

All animals of any size or shape deserves love and someone to be there to take care.

[@emilienatalie8635]

It's disgusting that it is acceptable to return the horses to someone's care who abused these animals so badly.

[@amaraland1]

I'm pleased with the outcome. Owners such as her are dangerous people.

[@luzirizarry7058]

Why some lack the heart to love an animal and can only hurt them is beyond my understanding. It also sends me a message that they have no heart to love anything or anyone.

[@emmitbanick2259]

I love all horses so thank you for saving all the horses for us keep on doing we will all support you

[@siennamcdougallxx6622]

She got them back

[@EmAViking]

No she didn't? The custody was given to WHW and the woman was banned from having equines for 8-15 years.

[@babu6664]

I agree, prison sentence is far to lenient. I sick and tired of animal abusers getting slaps on the wrist. what the hell is wrong with such people. they must be ban from ever owning any animal ever again, or never allowed in the first place to own an animal. We are guardians, not owners.

[@russelloriely6343]

I know I am a dumb ass so could some one explain to me why have a horse or any animal for that matter if your not going to care for it? I would think that defeats the purpose of having them.

[@23LaraCroft]

vanity

[@cameliad3522]

Russell Oriely we will never know i have been watching many of these kind of videos and frankly i can not get it

[@livbs5626]

+Russell Oriely I know right

[@briannamartinez4047]

horses and animals won't exist and we won't live, we are going to die and die from no fun being with a horse. I wish that animal abuse would not exist! I wish the people who abuse animals gets abused back! to teach them a bad ass lesson!

[@KezLoves1D]

Wow, that's so sad :-( Those poor horses, how can some people be some so horrible?

[@bezvezeeee]

So glad you people are helping out! She deserves far worse then she got if you ask me, disgusting "human"!

[@horsesandme8721]

I am always looking up to you keep up the good work world horse welfare

[@gyrthez246]

Why ban her for 5 years? She's done it twice already, why wouldn't she do it again? I also feel as if those 100+ days should consist of her being as badly neglected as she neglected the horses. Obviously she'd be fed but nothing else.

[@supersix308]

That poor horse being loaded was like 'no please don't send me back'.

[@washkamonya]

Can't believe someone would neglect a horse like this. Why??? She had food. I've seen some cases of neglect where owners couldn't afford to keep horses or just through plain ignorance. God some people can be so cruel. Lock her up with no food, see how she likes it!

[@fernviking7909]

People who mistreat animals shouldn’t be allowed to have them!!

[@awkwardartist2913]

Ugh. The judges know she is capable of this yet they let her have them. I hate judges ;u;

[@mamamillwright458]

I'm glad she got a more strict sentence than what we give in America.

[@isabellamichael1046]

thank you so much and I agree with you

[@CoffeeCrispBreyers]

Horses are very forgiving animals, and to see that poor horse go crazy at the sight of her, its just too much for me to handle. It horrible!

[@stormynoel9048]

poor horses i love horses so much i would take them all

[@teresaakins1408]

Omg im so happy ..thank you for doing .such a great job..

[@davidreece6193]

Why do people do this. We had a cat who was 21when we had her euthanised before Christmas because she was old and had had a stroke and cold no longer look after herself and had dementia because she had forgotten that we had just fed her. We took her to the vet. We had taken the decision that things were not good for her and her life was not getting any better and after many tears and chat with the vet he agreed that it was her time. As we left the vet said thank you for looking after this animal for such a long time you are both to be commended. If we can see that something is wrong why can’t this woman?

[@erinonfire70]

Just not allow them near animals... ever again! Problem solved! Thank you for jailing her though!

[@jaxiewild8940]

Those poor animals hate her, you can tell

[@harper69x]

It's the body language in the horse as she leads it off towards the trailor. It obviously doesn't want to go with her, the horse does a slow trot and not a walk - showing lack of respect through previous abuse possibly? also, she has to wrap the lead rope round over it's nose to act as a chain so that she can lead it on because it was refusing to go into the trailor. That would have been very uncomfortable for the horse - probably the only reason it complied and went in.

[@siennavardy4949]

I'll look after it for free

[@taylorconstable4648]

Well, I believe the horse is dead after 8 years when the video was posted, or a very old horse in a permanent home.

[@fairykeikes8282]

me too!

[@laurajbrooks4530]

she should have been jailed much longer and prohibited from owning any animals again, ever!

[@erikanicholson6188]

I know this video is old but. I am sick of seeing this kind of cruel act! The horse has a life too you know?! What if you were the horse? No food. No water. Nobody to save you. You had nothing at all. You were abused?! How would you like that!!!! STOP THIS NOW!!!

[@itsalicexo2037]

I feel so sorry for these horses I see my horses every day with my family I hate any animal abuse!!!

[@maureensomers7225]

Thank goodness.

[@joanberry2143]

He should not have been given a second chance!

[@122Kittykat]

Horrendous! Such a waste. I can't understand.

[@blitziee]

Horses are such beautiful animals, and they give so much love. They can't speak. This make me sick. That woman needs a liftime in jail.

[@ameliahood8124]

these horses deserve better

[@failcity7917]

My people should not be treated like that we are gentle,protective and loyal to them who deserve it ..

[@judithneeley5229]

That was only a slap on the wrist. She should have been given 10 years for the mare and another 10 years for the foal that was lost, on top of what she was given. Plus, never allowed to have horses ever again.

[@nenaelliott8058]

I live in the US and I've seen judges do the same thing here with pet owners. What are they thinking when they give animals back to owners that have provenly mistreated their animals so badly?

[@caroltolhursttolhurst3323]

Animal abuse is like the abuse of children they are dependent on care and protection from parent or owner for their very lives. A fine, probation, or order that they can't own animals again is not enough they should get at a minimum of 5 or more years in jail. The sentence to be served in full. Only if the law gets serious about punishment for animal neglect will abuse stop. It only takes one tip off.

[@cynthiaschwab8894]

Had to give them back? Oh the crulity!

[@abby.rayne423]

Why would they even allow her to take the horse in the first place?

[@great-grandmakirk8828]

Great job, why are some people keeping horses in such horrible living situations? Why own a horse if u don’t want to take good care of them? Are these people using horses to boost their importance in society? I just find it so disgusting. Thank goodness for your organization and the court system.

[@Ganpignanus]

she wraps the lead rope around the horses nose (very sensitive) to load him on the truck. imagine what she does at home behind closed doors. what a horriffic sub human. i hope karma teaches her a lesson. good job rescuers under such trying circumstances. i feel so sorry for the mare that died and the others who suffered. name and shame, ban from owning animals, so no one ever gives her a horse she will abuse again. was she a racing stable?

[@karatgirl2827]

Finally, some justice for the poor mare and baby who had to be pts!

[@khtx]

Sorry my english isn´t good enough. Did she get the horses back in the end? Without any "order" from the judge? And what did she now?

[@Glenonica1]

That horse did not like her nor did it want to be in that trailer either, it could smell the familiar smell that meant it was going where it was mistreated. I hope she's never gets to own another animal in her lifetime and that the authorities are able to keep an eye on her in the future.

[@wikijerry3678]

Horse abusers must go to prison forever

[@mimilobsinger3589]

A person like this shouldn't be aloud to have horses. I own horses and I would never treat them like this. People make me sick. All of the horses should've been sold to someone who could take care of them. She should've got life in prison

[@Britty0189]

as soon as that blanket was turned over, tears were instent.

[@janetsmith-velazquez3722]

That horse didn't want to leave.

[@yougottabekiddiing]

I don’t understand the psychology of a person who insists on owning animals when they have multiple times been proven incapable or unwilling to take proper care of them…

[@LilithRingmaster]

You can clearly tell she has NO idea what she's doing!

[@lizzyoconnell2386]

how sad and poor horses, this is sad what people do to them.

[@gerryjones131]

That's horrible what she did she should be in prison for a lot longer than that how would she like it if she was that horse that's horrible I think she should never be allowed to have another animal because if she could do this twice she hasn't learned her lesson and she don't give a s*** I think she's never should be allowed to have an animal and if she does she would go to prison for the rest of her life

[@pamelamccarthy5482]

Why did this lady do that it almost made me cry!!!

[@ellimae1548]

She brings that big lory just to pick up one horse...

[@charlottewetzel5010]

Why?? So they can be abused and neglected again??

[@anhmytran5574]

I do not understand her. She is a special case for psychology study.

[@seraphilight]

Did she give a "reason" for starving the mare?

[@jadelunn9481]

please explain why this woman hasnt got a lifetime ban????

[@clah399]

So disgusting, she looks proud of herself.

[@carleigh3223]

1:40 beautiful horse

[@myprophet1]

cutting off the mares air intake to ensure getting her on the trailer, after separating her from her companion (who tried to follow), isn't that abuse? It is to me.

[@EmmyDAVlogs]

I feel so sad i love horses

[@jacketts5761]

Sick, just sick. I really hope she can't have ANY animal WHAT. SO. EVER!

[@looking4ferdy]

I cannot believe the way she walked back in there to fetch the horse back. Brazen as hell. 5 year ban?? It should be a life ban. I dont understand it.

[@bhertzbe]

In the U.S. she’d get a harsher sentence.

[@bobbiemooser7417]

Poor horse looks terrified. Woman needs to stay in jail forever because she never obeys the law.

[@lynettedundon1410]

Never allow her to have any animals!

[@TeganxxxBobbyDazzler]

Thank goodness for a happy ending for the horses. Can't understand how someone could do that.

[@tracy53184]

That's stupid. she should not have gotten any animals back.

[@tashibashibooo]

Just curious, how can u tell the horse is afraid of her. Not disagreeing just want to learn

[@TheSmartSheep]

I recognized that walk. It seems to me she was a once-upon-a-time beginner who was never properly taught how to be correctly dominant and correctly discipline a horse, and got out of hand.

[@cassandra8620]

The law has to be reconsidered

[@mayaham1012]

what did she do

[@christinedavis7365]

Nooooooooooo
