Gray's defence team call on top vet in horse trial

Mar 11 2009

Earlier, the court was told that harrowing evidence gathered at the Gray's horse trading premises at Spindle Farm, in Amersham, had shown:

*Severely emaciated animals tethered with no food or water.

*The rotting bodies of maltreated animals left to decompose amongst living ones.

*Twelve donkeys in a pen measuring just nine feet square.

RSPCA investigators who raided the farm on January 4 last year also saw a mountain of bones and horse skulls piled up in a corner of a muddy field.

However, all defendants insisted they each had no part in the mal-treatment of the animals.

The trial continues.
