‘No proof horse abandoned by Travellers’The Traveller Visibility Group (TVG) has said it cannot be determined whether or not individuals from the Traveller community were involved in the incident which left a horse dead in an estate on Dublin Hill. Hawthorn Mews estate residents were left shocked, horrified and appalled by the abandonment of a horse that died while being driven with a sulky harness. The post has also gathered over 700 comments from people outraged by the behaviour of the sulky drivers who abandoned the animal that subsequently died. “It is important to note that as the owner of the animal cannot be determined we cannot assume that it was necessarily a Traveller horse owner that is responsible for this incident. “TVG works with many Traveller horse owners across Cork city who maintain their animals well.
