He beat, punched, and starved his animals until they ate feces

He should never own or work with animals again. He Starved His Horses Until They Ate Their Own Poop Sign Now      Arfin,   A man in Auckland, New Zealand apparently starved 11 of his horses so badly, they resorted to eating their own feces in a desperate attempt just to get anything into their empty bellies.   Inspectors also noticed some horses eating wood from fences and stable walls, dirt, car tires, their sawdust bedding, and even licking metal partitions due to starvation.   Even worse: officials also have evidence that he physically abused his horses. Witnesses observed him punching the animals and slamming them with a shovel, buckets, and other painful objects.   Yet it took authorities more than a year of repeated inspections and visits to finally charge him with a crime. Now that he's been convicted, they've only banned him from owning horses... for a measly seven years. But what about after that time? And what about protecting other species of animals? This man has shown himself to be deeply abusive and neglectful — and not safe around animals, period. Authorities must ensure he is never allowed to own or work with animals again!

He must never be allowed to work or live with animals again! Sign the petition.      Sign Now
