sure..there might be some things people lie about and so on and so forth, but this is a totally different topic you are chosing to argue with me about. There are facts that hold to these, and anyone who starts to read this that knows,well...you are going to be looking mighty foolish because you're wrong. They were GIVEN HORSES BACK...and CASIE'S HORSE WAS TAKEN TO THE VET. There is so much proof of all of this, from pictures, to vet bills, to old rodeo things in MAGAZINES and NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC has my HORSE's PICTURE IN IT that i rode when I was there...AND photo albums, and I could go on. But there you have it. Trust me, they were given horses back, and Splash was taken to a vet.

SPCA Welcomes Landmark Conviction in Horse Case
Mark Sudweeks has been convicted on two counts of causing distress under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act, resulting in a lifetime prohibition of owning or caring for animals and in fines of $2,000 on each count. The case involved 29 starving horses and seven dogs that were seized by the BC SPCA on January 2001 in the Kleena Kleene Valley, 200 kilometres west of Williams Lake. Separate counts were laid for the horses and dogs.
"This is a landmark decision that clearly demonstrates it is entirely unacceptable to cause animals to suffer," says Doug Brimacombe, CEO of the BC SPCA. "The court has imposed high penalties under the Act in this case, setting a precedent for other animal cruelty cases. We are very pleased with the outcome."
Mark Sudweeks, his wife Cheryl Sudweeks and Bryan Tetz, caretaker of the property where the animals were found, were all charged on two counts, under section 24 (1) of the PCA Act for permitting an animal to be in distress. Bryan Tetz was found guilty on one count under the PCA Act and fined $500, and given a two-year prohibition of owning or caring for animals. Cheryl Sudweeks charges were dismissed.
In an earlier court decision, the BC SPCA was awarded custody of the animals and granted $120,000 towards part of the cost incurred for the care of the animals. The Society hopes to place the animals in permanent homes.
The court decision is the culmination of a case that lasted over 15 months. "It's a great relief and I am thrilled that the penalty matches the crime," says Sharon Caddy, Special Provincial Constable and shelter manager for Williams Lake BC SPCA. Caddy was involved in the seizure of the animals and has worked with those in community to rehabilitate the animals.
