A Queensland woman who left a young foal to die claims she didn’t take it to it to get help because she ‘didn’t like vets’.

Tracy Deren, 44, left the eight-month-old foal with injuries for four days to die as well as extreme dehydration, according to The Queensland Times.

The injuries were so bad and some were more than a week old, making the young foal unable to stand, move, or see out of one of its eyes.
