…it seems they are
finally being forced to do something about the tethered horse problem in York:
The RSPCA brought the prosecution as part of an investigation into complaints from the public about horses tethered on roadside verges.
Lawyers for the seven, who are all called Smith and who live at Ryedale Caravan Site, Outgang Lane, Osbaldwick, successfully asked for their cases to be adjourned while probation officers prepare reports on them, and reserved their mitigation until the sentencing hearing.
Amazingly, they’ve all pleaded guilty straight off.
All seven were ordered to return to court on November 15 when they will be sentenced and learn if they are to receive bans on keeping horses or animals.
Mitigation should be….interesting.

Can't they both lose?
'kin' ell ....has Megi Rychlikova ever even heard of paragraphs ???
*boggle eyed*
Not that they'll actually stop even if they do get a ban...
Bunny,
My Curmudgeon I too hope both sides lose, especially if it involves one side being taken out and shot.
XX All seven were ordered to return to court on November 15 XX
They are fuckin TINKS!
How the HEL were they allowed to get bail? It's bleeding OBVIOUS that they could just dissapear over night! It's what they are PAID for, FFS!
(See "Danegeld" for reference)
TF: I know you were being ironic and you know very well that they were bailed in exactly the same way they are always bailed. A remand in custody had become as rare as teeth on a hen decades ago.
"Can't they both lose?"
Damn. Forgot the blogtag! :)

Another one slipped through the spam trap.. :/
"How the HEL were they allowed to get bail?"
As anon points out, it's astonishing what you'll get bail for here!
