One animal activist group is disappointed that Government has not followed through on its promises to get tougher on persons who abuse or kill animals.Founder of the Humane Organisation for the Relief of Suffering Equines (HORSE) Charity, Monique Archer told Barbados TODAY Government’s commitment to launching a public service campaign and to amend the Animal Cruelty Act to allow for stiffer penalties for those found guilty of animal cruelty, had not materialised.Her comments have come in the wake of the gruesome discovery of the remains of a horse which was reportedly brutally killed earlier this week.Archer said the horse had been decapitated, one of its legs was amputated and the majority of its lean meat had been taken by the perpetrators. The remains were found in a pasture in St Thomas.The advocate told Barbados TODAY ever since a video showing a dog dying on Pebbles Beach back in September had caused public outrage and resulted in a man being hauled before the law courts, quicker action had been anticipated.
