On Friday she was sentenced to three months’ community detention, 100 hours community work, disqualified from owning any animals for six years, ordered to pay reparations of $860.45 and $282 in solicitors costs.

上周五，她被判處三個(gè)月的社區(qū)拘留，100小時(shí)的社區(qū)工作，六年內(nèi)不得飼養(yǎng)任何動(dòng)物，并被要求支付860.45美元的賠款和282美元的律師費(fèi)。

It came after Toppa was observed in 2016 with light body condition, four overgrown hooves and walking incorrectly.

此前在2016年查訪Toppa是發(fā)現(xiàn)，它的體重很輕，四只蹄長(zhǎng)得過(guò)長(zhǎng)，走路不正確。

A notice was left requesting Toppa be seen by a vet, but later inquires discovered the vet was only asked to look at Toppa's eyes.

當(dāng)時(shí)下了一張通知，要求巴克讓獸醫(yī)給Toppa看病，但后來(lái)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，她只讓獸醫(yī)給Toppa看了眼睛。

A visit a week later indicated Toppa was reluctant to move and her hooves had not been treated.

一周后的探訪發(fā)現(xiàn)，Toppa不愿意動(dòng)，她的蹄子也沒有得到治療。

A follow-up visit was made the next day by an equine vet, who recommended Toppa be put down.

第二天，一位馬科獸醫(yī)對(duì)托普帕進(jìn)行了隨訪，他建議Toppa放棄治療。

Barker said Toppa had been on pain killers and had been seen at Horse Haven by vets many times, but she was unable to provide records.

巴克說(shuō)，托帕一直在服用止痛藥，曾多次在馬港獸醫(yī)診所就診，但她無(wú)法提供記錄。

“Any organisation that purports to be a sanctuary, rescue operation, or animal shelter has a duty of care to the animals in their custody. Good intentions are not enough,” said Andrea Midgen, SPCA chief executive said in a statement.

“任何聲稱是庇護(hù)所、救援行動(dòng)或動(dòng)物收容所的組織都有責(zé)任照顧他們所看管的動(dòng)物。”SPCA首席執(zhí)行官安德里亞•米德根(Andrea Midgen)在一份聲明中表示。
