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

arson was always classed as very serious in my day, so they will probably get double time community service,

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?

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.

OMG How awful!!!!!

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..

i would say its more likely that the ones that set the fire live in the area of the stables, and its quite likely the horse owner do too. that would be why they have been sent away on a holiday, they have been named in the local paper, and this article is online, god bless those horses and owners.
