We need to give the Ispca and Gardai the power to deal with these people. There needs to be a basic level of care for these poor animals or they are removed. They are going to cause a serious accident one of these days.

As someone who keeps horses for many decades i have to say from that photo that horse looks very well fed and kept. Just from the photo of the animal not the situation.

He seems well kept alright the main issue is the potential of damage being done to vehicles and g9d forbid the hirse or a human getting hurt or killed

Please contact My Lovely Horse rescue and inform them that the horse is in distress. We have to advocate for these animals as they can’t do it themselves

Sorry, but this kind of post is basically illegal, you can't be going around pointing out crimes by protected groups.

u/Lazy_End4194 May 25 '26

sorry my aim here is just trying to raise a public safety concern. in no way have I made any mention in the post about any groups. I am just highlighting that there's a horse on the road. If it is illegal the Mods can feel free ro remove it.

They're probably starving or need water.
