Outrage over neglected horse

A horse found severely malnourished and neglected was rescued on Sunday following a social media post that sparked an animal welfare intervention.

The Ecologists Party said the intervention followed a post showing a horse in poor condition, prompting members of its Animal Action Group to visit the site after contacting the local police station.

It said on Monday the horse was transported to a safe location escorted by police and the community leader, where it was set to be examined by a vet and given medication.
