Wednesday 26th March, DPI inspector finally went out to inspect the horses. Mind you leading up to the day the inspector finally decided to make his way out Atalanta has been bulk feeding these horses to get some sort of weight on them before they arrived. Inspector has body scored what horses were still on the property, the body score he gave was in acceptable condition!! This absolutely blows my mind how can horses with ribs showing, hips showing, no top line and wormy be an acceptable condition. I'm appalled and infuriated with this out come.
Inspector questioned Atalanta about the missing horses apparently she gave Inspector a list of names and addresses to where these horses are. Atalanta has mentioned to a few people that the horses she had move were not hers. Which is a huge lie as we have proof of these horses being used and have been on her property for years. My guess she has given false address for the wrong horses they are looking for.
I'm at exream loss into what els we can do? I wasn't surprised to hear this outcome as she has gotten away with the same scenario many times over the years. The DPI, RSPCA, Stock Control/Bio security all have been out there multiple times over the years when is it going to stop? you would think they would take all the reports and inspections in the past into consideration but clearly they have not. They have given her way to many chances. What's going to happen now? Let this time slide again then to be contacted with more reports in a few months time? The DPI only went out to inspect the property in September last year from other reports made against her. I'm honestly mind blown and will not give up! If you have anymore ideas on how to get her shut down and these horses rescued please reach out. We need all the help and support we can get.
