It goes further than that, and depends as well on the prosecutor and the
judge.  In the case I dealt with, the prosecutor knew jack about horses, and
so did the magistrate.  Trying to ge the prosecutor to understand about
"trickle feeding" and colic, and why one bag of food wouldn't feed fifty
horses was akin to hitting my head against a wall.

The humane society was great, but I can understand their reluctance to
become involved in "unprovable" cases.  Their resources are limited, and so
are their finances.  They would probably have been better off out in the
field instead of sitting in court for the five days it took for these
bastards to be acquitted.

I'm a bit acid about this...can you tell???
