RSPCA Victoria wants to see a hard line taken by the industry for anyone found guilty of cruelty to animals.
"If animal welfare is a top priority for the racing industry, RSPCA Victoria would expect racing authorities to ensure that this is reflected in the penalties applied to participants who have engaged in animal cruelty," said RSPCA Victoria CEO Dr Liz Walker. "RSPCA Victoria believes the racing authorities should consider life time bans where serious cruelty offences have been proven.""Not on my life ," he said."I don't know — if you say times change, that's a bit of a cop-out.Much of the wider sporting industry was appalled by the charges levelled at Weir, including leading barrister Dyson Hore-Lacy, SC, the brother of former trainer Rick Hore-Lacy.
Time to ban ALL animal racing!!!
Those poor horses, there was no need to treat them like that. Penalties should be much harder.
Nope. Not forgotten. It should be remembered as a lesson of what lurks in the underbelly of horse racing in Australia and around the world. I hope Weir is suffering, and that he suffers for a lot longer.
