Prince Harry Faces Animal Cruelty Charges

September 3, 2010

Prince Harry, British royal and avid polo player, may face animal cruelty charges in connection with his actions during a recent polo match in July.

The 'Daily Mail' reports that the prince inflicted a wound on the horse he was riding through excessive use of his spurs during the match.

The rules established by the Hurlington Polo Association expressly forbid abuse of horse by excessive use of spurs, with violators subject to a fine of up to $100,000.

A spokesman for the royal family insists that the prince stopped riding the horse as soon as he noticed the wound, and that the horse was immediately treated for its injury.

Can someone explain to me why anyone cares about this household of leeches. They have had to do nothing to earn what they have. Just being born shouldn't qualify u to riches and a life of luxury. Think of the money that could be saved by kicking this whole 'royal' family off the British taxpayer. It is an outdated system that has gone the way of the dial telephone. But alas here in America we have our 'royalty' and they are actors, politicians, and professional athletes. Just like the British Royalty they are excused from obeying our laws and prosecution if caught. Just to bad ink is wasted on the printing of their life.
