Target: Ingmar De Vos, President of the International Equestrian Federation (FEI)
Goal: Ensure strict enforcement of animal welfare laws and impose severe penalties for the alleged abuse and cruelty in equestrian training.
Shocking allegations have surfaced against Cesar Parra, a prominent figure in the equestrian world, casting a shadow over the sport renowned for its grace and partnership between horse and rider. A distressing video, which emerged on Instagram, allegedly shows Parra engaging in acts of severe mistreatment towards two horses, actions that contradict the very essence of equestrian ethics and integrity. This alleged abuse, reportedly involving repetitive whipping and cruel training methods, has provoked outrage and demands for justice within the community and beyond.
Further revelations exacerbate the gravity of the situation. Additional material, widely circulated online, depicts scenes of alleged cruelty: horses with their heads forcibly restrained, visible whip welts, scars, and blood marks – a stark contrast to the respect and care that these noble animals rightfully deserve. These allegations, if true, represent not just a breach of trust but a fundamental violation of equestrian standards and animal welfare principles. The FEI’s immediate response, a provisional suspension of Parra pending investigation, is a step in the right direction, yet our collective voice is crucial in demanding a more profound and lasting change.
The essence of equestrian sport is built on respect and empathy towards our equine partners. The distressing images and reports associated with Parra’s training methods, if accurate, are not only abhorrent but also a stark violation of the principles upheld by the FEI. As enthusiasts, practitioners, and advocates of the sport, ensure that justice prevails, sending a clear message that such alleged behavior is intolerable. Call on the President of the FEI to uphold the highest standards of animal welfare, ensure a thorough and unbiased investigation, and impose the most severe penalties if these allegations are substantiated.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Ingmar De Vos,
The equestrian community is shaken by the recent allegations against Cesar Parra, a situation that demands your immediate and unwavering attention. The footage and images that have come to light are not only disturbing but, if proven true, a blatant violation of the ethics and welfare standards that the FEI staunchly upholds. It is imperative that these allegations are met with a thorough and transparent investigation, ensuring that justice is not just done, but seen to be done for the sake of the horses allegedly subjected to such cruelty.
The principles of our sport are clear and non-negotiable: respect, dignity, and humane treatment of our equine counterparts are paramount. The allegations against Parra, involving alleged whipping, restraint, and the infliction of pain and fear, stand in stark contrast to these values. If these accusations are confirmed, they demand not only condemnation but also the imposition of the strictest sanctions to reflect the severity of the acts and to deter any such conduct in the future.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, urge you to act decisively and judiciously. We call for a robust response that not only addresses the individual case of alleged abuse but also fortifies the framework of accountability and protection within the sport. It is crucial that the FEI not only investigates these allegations with the utmost seriousness but also takes a firm stand to reinforce that cruelty and abuse have no place in equestrian sports. We trust in your commitment to justice and the welfare of every horse under the FEI’s purview and look forward to your prompt action in this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
Cesar Parra is abusing horses! It clearly shows that in the videos. He needs to be stopped. Can you imagine the abuse he has inflicted on these innocent horses.
Parra is shown on video abusing horses. He has said good bye to all respect he enjoyed as a trainer, not to mention the money. Now he is not even a human being. This will all but destroy horse racing which is not the walk in the park people think it is. These horses are drugged, forced to run for their lives, if hurt they are shot and in the end, no matter how many crowns they have won, they are sold to slaughter houses in Canada and Mexico, by their owners. It was different in the past when owners cared for the horses they ran in the races. There are other sports with horses where both horse and rider are treated and trained well. They are the exceptions. Racing for money and fame is the most degrading and disgusting way to support yourself. Racing is linked to other criminal activities as well. What was a dream has become a nightmare for horses.
Amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This creep should be thrown in jail for a long time and stopped from training horses
totally agree, jail the scum. Horrendous cruelty by a so-called profession equestrian.
Exactly. Never be allowed to be around another horse or ANY animal for that matter. He proved himself unfit.
Castrate the Bitch and put him in the dessert 200 miles from civilization and if he survives he’ll have a very different outlook on respecting life and I did say If but I’m betting on the critters to send him to the Promised Land for final judgements .
THIS LESS THAN HUMAN BEING SICK PHYCOPATH IS NO WHERE NEAR CALLING HIMSELF A TRAINER AND WHERE ARE THE OWNERS OF THESE HORSES OR ARE THEY JUST AS SICK THEY NEED TO SHUT DOWN HORSE RACING LIKE THEY ARE DOING WITH GREYHOUND RACING WHO THE F**K GIVES ANYONE THE RIGHT TO ABUSE ANY ANIMAL IN GODS WORLD THEY CAN ALL LOOK FORWARD TO BURNING IN HELL THE DEVIL OWNS THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
condemn this asshole !!!
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo!!!!
THIS CRUEL & ABUSIVE ASSHOLE DESERVES EXACT TORTURE AS HE HAS INFLICTED ON THESE INNOCENT HORSES IMMEDIATELY AND REPEATEDLY!!!!
So other things have been on the internet? Why wasn’t this abuse investigated? Now… now, after more evidence is out, there’s been reports of welts, blood, scars… did these just magically disappear? No, they were ignored. No investigation. Tell us again how the rider and horse have Respect. Dignity. HUMANE TREATMENT. Great words but No action. These horses have been abused, tortured and forced to perform for this POS. Can you imagine the horror they experienced at his hands after a performance where he didn’t win? An investigation would be interesting, especially to find his previous horses. Get off your cuffs. You’ve got rules. There are Laws. SPEAK FOR THE VOICELESS. Spread the word. Fine this SOB into nonexistence. NEVER let him near another animal, no instruction or training to others and do not allow him to compete.
What is wrong with these people? This needs to lose any rights to work with animals and jail time. It no longer has a reputation to lose after this. Disgusting cruel being.
The maximum applicable punishment for felony cruelty to animals and, after his release from jail, a life-long ban on owning or working with Horses or any other animal, except adult humans … if he can. Sadly, the Law falls woefully short when it comes to crimes against nonhuman animals.
Agree
THIS FUCKING IDIOT CLEARLY DOESN’T LOVE HIS HORSES THEN DOES HE IF HE IS ABUSING THEM. HE OBVIOUSLY SEES THEM JSUT AS A MONEY MAKING MACHINE. HOWEVER HE CHOOSES TO “TRAIN” THEM IN INVERTED COMMAS IS A JOKE…
NOTHING BUT SHEER CRUELTY.
PEOPLE LIKE HIM ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE ANIMAL OR THE SPORT JUST FUCKING
M O N E Y…………………
What a loser! I would love to work with horses! That would be my dream job. But instead, you have a piece of shit mistreating beautiful and majestic horses. I hope he gets what is coming to him someday.
Seems to be quite clear that Cesar Parra is only there to profit. NO HUMAN SHOULD PROFIT FROM THE SUFFERING OF OTHERS!
Horses have sweet souls that are constantly inspiring every human they contact. WHAT A UNGRATEFUL SMALL MINDED ASSHOLE. HE DOES NOT DESERVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING EVEN NEAR A HORSE OR ANY ANIMAL.
Let him pay and pay dearly. Ban him from all contact with horses and all animals for life. Investigate fully and let the punishment fit the crime!
ALL I CAN SAY IS WHAT A F U C K I N G P R I C K!!!
HAVE THE HORSES KICK HIM IN HIS DAMNHEAD AND NUTS UNTIL THE FUCKING EVIL BASTARD IS DEAD OH YES PLEASE LORD. BURN IN HELL PRICK!!
TOTALLY AGREE 110%
The International Equestrian Federation (FEI) will do NOTHING, as animal (horse) abuse is rife in all equestrian “sports”. The FEI will just look the other way, because their own jobs (and income) will be on the line if they discipline any of their members.
Or will Ingmar De Vos have the guts to stop the abuse? I think not.
DESERVES TO BE THE EXACT SAME TREATMENT ,,,,,ASAP!!!!
This is the second one in the past few weeks. Stop forcing horses to do unnatural movements in equestrian events. Zero tolerance for animal abusers.
Absolutely No Tolerance Towards Animal ABUSERS n Cruelty. An eye for an eye fits this crime n should be the punishment. Hooves Matter
How about whipping the bad unqualified horse trainer to death. What a cunt he is.
Agree all comments abuse him and ban for life owning animals.
