Aushwitz Horse Farm

The man who turned his horse farm into “Auschwitz” has been let out on bail and was seen at a horse fair. Last May, Jamie Gray and his son were arrested when investigators found horses left to die of starvation and surrounded by rotting corpses. They were found guilty of 11 charges under the Animal Welfare Act. He was sentenced for 6 months but walked free after 4 days as he launched an appeal. They were also banned from having anything to do with horses ever again. However just over a year later, outrageous pictures were found of them, at a horse fair.
I think this whole story is disgusting. The fact that this man “had caused the worst case of animal cruelty ever seen” said by the RSPCA, would only be sentenced to six months imprisonment is disgraceful. Also that he should be allowed to appeal as there is nothing he could appeal about. He is a despicable man who should have been sentenced to a murder charge as that is basically what he committed. Animals and human’s aren’t that different so for this man to only get 6 months is shameful. If this was humans he would have a life sentence never mind less than a year.
Also I don’t understand how this man could be even allowed to go near a horse fair. The people there must recognise him, so why they would even give him the time of day to look at their horses, I don’t understand.
However, this wasn’t Jamie Gray’s first conviction of cruelty to animals; he had a record of cruelty to animals and in 2006 was fined £3,500 for unnecessary suffering to animals; however he was still allowed to continue his trading business. The police or whoever is in charge of these types of things should have kept an eye on his future dealings but I think he should have just been banned from working with animals so nothing like this could have ever happened.
