Re: [RC] Horse Abuse in Malaysia - Tom Sites

Angie, Jay answered most of your questions i believe. Let me add to what Jay didn't say. She was banned on the Aussie Chat List and had to make a mea culpa to Mr. Toft when she was threatened by lawsuit.

I'm glad Jay mentioned what Dr Nik had to say also. That remark is what took me over the edge to make the statement i did and why i used it as the first subject line. You all must have thought me crazy again. I'd like to see Dr. Nik post to RC what he posted to me as being politically correct.

Well....Dr. Nik????

Tom,
I saw the photos and it's awful. I'd like a better understanding of the
connection with endurance horses...since though this is about as bad as
starvation abuse can get, there are starvation cases over here too that
we should be upset about.  Peter Toft's name came up in several posts as
a "the FEI registered trainer" at this Melinsung Ranch . Does the Mayor
that owns the rental horses compete in endurance?  It says many of the
horses were origionally imported from Australia. I would think there
would be cheaper local horses to put on a rental string and starve if
you're the sort of person to do that. Are these horses that were imported
for endurance, were no longer fit for that and ended up on the rental
string for the hotels?  Reminds me of when Maryanne said used up
endurance horses might  end up being rented at the Pyramids over there.
Makes me feel better about feeding my retired horse with his big belly
and happy for Jody's retired horse that had a full meal and a graceful
exit from this earth yesterday. That rear shot of that by
www.visitmalaysiatourism.blogspot.com looks like it would have been a
heck of a horse some meat on it...and the palomino is heart breaking.

I'd like to hear Peter Toft defend this place...and I'd like to know who
would sell a horse through him  now?  Dr. Nik, where are you on this
story. How do you explain those photos?

www.equestrian.com.my/forum  This is the SE  Asian Chat List.  Go to
Endurance and look for the Melinsung Ranch Thread.

www.visitmalaysiatourism.blogspot.com will lead you to
www.cyberhorse.com and show a photo of a palamino that has since
died with a whole lot of chat regarding the story.



Those websites tell some of the story.  There are some photos that
have been sent that will turn your stomach if anyone would like to
see.  I'll forward because i don't know how to make them appear on
RC.

I'm not going to throw flames at the 'bad guy'.  I'd like to send
Laurels to the King of Malaysia who offered to take the horses for
care and was refused.

Some people are like slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they
bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.
