Horse Puncher sacked from teaching job

Personal abuse is against the GN rules tickingbird feel free to report yourself. I'm quite happy with my integrity thank you. I refuse to be cowed or threatened into any other stance.

@trisher. What about the personal abuse you levelled in your original post - according to you if we think she deserved her punishment we’re all as bad as the people who sent death and bomb threats to this vile woman. If that’s not personally offensive I don’t know what is. Stones and glasshouses.

My goodness a woman hits a horse and loses her job and people think it's justified. She was of course a team leader, an experienced teacher working for an educational trust. I bet she was expensive. I bet she'll be replaced by a newly qualified cheaper teacher.
And the people who think she deserved it are just as bad as those who sent her death threats and bomb threats. You've seen a brief video. You weren't there. You don't know the horse. It's trial by media. It's unacceptable.

So her observed cruelty to one of the animals she works with is OK is it ? Who replaced her and at what cost is irrelevant, and the ‘short video’ I saw displayed her losing her temper and assaulting a clearly distressed and defenceless animal who didn’t understand what was happening or why. She’s not fit to be working with animals and if the uncontrolled anger she showed towards that horse is anything to go by, she rightly lost her job as a teacher - would you still be defending her is it was a child she assaulted ? And by the way - how very judgmental of you to suggest that all those who think she deserved to lose her job are not better than people who make violent threats.

For goodness sake, trisher!

Social Media has not instigated this woman's sacking? Are you so desperate to be right you'll say anything to prove your point?

This event happened a few weeks ago. Most people had forgotten about it.

The school decided to sack her which made the news.

Social media has nothing to do with this outcome.

Trisher you really are demeaning yourself on this thread. You’ve lost any credibility you may have had.

Personal abuse is against the GN rules tickingbird feel free to report yourself. I'm quite happy with my integrity thank you. I refuse to be cowed or threatened into any other stance.
Would I like this woman? Probably not.
Do I like hunting? Certainly not.
Do I object to anyone being pilloried on social media and dismissed without anyone knowing the full story? Yes I do.

If you read this thread through you will find posts saying the horse wasn't running loose, because the hunt saboteurs realised cutting the footage would best serve their aims. The majority of people will have viewed the cut version.

I don't know exactly what went on and if the RSPCA had viewed the footage and judged the woman guilty of cruelty I would have supported them. As it is I refuse to be as judgemental as others and that is absolutely consistent with my beliefs that mob rule is never acceptable.

The funniest thing is that the Hunt has dismissed her! because you can torture and kill foxes, but for goodness sake don't hit a horse.

You are being absolutely ridiculous. The woman is vile and deserved to lose her job.

So what do you think the full story might be then….that the horse hit or kicked her first and that she was merely retaliating.

Are you saying they are making her a scapegoat to disguise the fact that cruelty to horses is normal to them, as you suggested earlier?

I am opposed to fox hunting and to all animal cruelty.
I don't know if that particular Hunt does, illegally, hunt foxes or if it uses scent only.

Where on this thread has anyone supported hunting or the hunt organisation? Reporting on its actions isn’t the same as approving of hunting

trisher don't you think the fact the Hunt has dismissed her shows that they have seen the full evidence and were convinced that she did ill-treat the horse?
And therefore it's a bit silly to keep insisting she didn't?

trisher you've been working through other people's posts & replying to them but you've missed mine.

I think the Hunt has dismissed her because they are trying to distance themselves from the social media shit-storm. And guess what, it is working because some people think they are somehow more responsible for doing so. The fact that they practise cruelty in other areas is apparently OK.

Of course foxes aren't as special as horses.

Nowhere near
However, I wouldn't hunt one or kill it.

Last word on this with regards to you. Please stop inventing posts. I haven’t called you names. Please feel free to report yourself for making false accusations. To paraphrase another poster up thread - that horse you’re flogging is well and truly dead.

The issue of hunting has been thrashed out in other threads, and feelings always run high.
It seems everyone except for a very few are in agreement about this woman's actions.

I do wish some posters would stop referring to fox hunting as though it is still a legal sport. It isn’t!

Just because somethings illegal doesn't mean it stops. Otherwise hunt saboteurs wouldn't still be active.

It is absolutely hilarious thatsome support hunting and yet think this woman should be castigated. Of course foxes aren't as special as horses.

Nothing abusive about it Trisher and I stand by what I said.

It's personal and name calling tickingbird but I realise some people have lower standards.

Video footage edited = clutching at straws. Really trisher get a grip. There are eyewitness statements too, remember? Or did they have "an agenda" against her too?

Arethe eyewitnesses hunt saboteurs Chewbacca? Then perhaopsthey had. But really none of it matters it is trial by social mediaand it is wrong.

Even if the video clip on FB doesn't show the whole scenario and the context of what happened to make that woman lose her temper and slap and kick her horse, it doesn't matter - if the horse was very badly behaved it still doesn't warrant that cruel behaviour to an animal, nothing does. It's not trial by Social Media, her employers have conducted a thorough investigation of their own and THEY decided to sack her, no one else.

She must be totally devastated by that, I'd imagine.
It's a very suitable hobby for her.

How could she be stopped from anything when the RSPCA is still reviewing the details? ?
Why shouldn't the hunt saboteurs post unsavoury videos about hunt members?
That is the whole point of them protesting in the first place.

B*gger... an anti-hunt saboteurs case....
