Arson is judged to be a more serious offence than animal cruelty - perhaps Blazey can confirm

Re: Horses Killed in darwen.
 

arson was always classed as very serious in my day, so they will probably get double time community service, :rolleyes: no faith in justice whatsoever.:(

This brings to mind the chap who lived in Church. During divorce proceedings he took a chainsaw to their furniture and then set the house alight.
There was no-one in the house at the time - it is debatable whether he was endangering neighbours ----He did a few years prison for that

Incidentally he later committed suicide in a gruesome way by self inflicted knife wounds which turned the room into a bloodbath

It didn't say anything about that on the letter I received, but I hope so.

It said on the radio today that they'd been bailed to appear at a later date. One of the conditions of the bail was that they couldn't return to Lancashire until the trial. Seemed a strange condition. I wonder if they were from outside the county?

Re: Horses Killed in darwen.
 

seems its started already- "BAIL" thats a great deterant to start off with.:rolleyes:

Re: Horses Killed in darwen.
 

I don't know about that. If they are held in custody till the trial, and if they are found guilty, won't the time they served be taken off their sentence at a rate of 2 days off the sentence for every one day served while awaiting trial? Which would mean that they would serve less time if they were denied bail.:confused:

Re: Horses Killed in darwen.
 

don't work like that here mate, unless things have changed which i doubt.

OMG How awful!!!!!:eek:
How can someone be so damn cruel and heartless to restrained animals. Those poor horses didnt stand a chance. I just hope the scumbags are caught and smoked to death in a cruel horrible way..
