The appellant appealed several orders, a notice of removal, a decision to keep animals, and a statement of account issued by Animal Welfare Services regarding two horses.
The horses were found to be emaciated and living in hazardous conditions without adequate food or potable water.
The adjudicator found that the horses were in distress and that the appellant failed to comply with the initial orders to provide veterinary care and improve their living conditions.
The removal of the horses was deemed necessary to relieve their distress, and the decision to keep them in care was upheld as returning them would likely place them back in distress.
The statement of account for veterinary and boarding costs was confirmed, and the appellant's request for costs was denied.
