Please, take a moment to sign and share this petition to help bring an end to online bullying.

In May, Baileys family and friends had their lives shattered when we tragically lost Bailey, just 22 years old. No parent, family, or loved one should ever have to endure the unimaginable pain of losing someone so young because of the cruelty and harm that can happen online.

Bailey’s life mattered. Bailey was loved. And Bailey should still be here.

We cannot change what happened, but we can try to make sure that Bailey’s story helps create change for others. Please stand with us by signing this petition, raising awareness, and helping us say enough is enough.

For Bailey, and for every young person who deserves to feel safe, valued and heard. Please sign and share.

A Facebook post currently being widely shared contains false and defamatory allegations and forms part of a course of harassment. The matter has been formally reported by Hugo’s and is subject to an ongoing police investigation on our behalf.

The images and footage being circulated relate solely to an emergency relocation of animals, which was unavoidable due to the landlady’s material breach of lease, namely the failure to provide water and electricity as expressly required. In late November, we were informed by the landlady’s daughter that the electricity supply would not be reconnected for up to four months due to the premises being classed as a business. Following written correspondence from Hugo’s confirming the urgent welfare requirements of the animals and confirming that the landlady herself was permanently residing on site and had been since she purchased the land 2 years ago, the supply was reconnected within two days. Despite this, the landlady refused to allow the supply to be connected. An offer to install a pre-payment meter at our own expense via a qualified electrician was rejected on the basis that her own electrician would attend, this did not occur.

Generators on site were tampered with and deliberately disconnected overnight. Two animals subsequently died. At the time, this was believed to be the result of loss of power. However, video evidence now clearly demonstrates unauthorised entry and trespass, during which the landlady’s daughter brought multiple dogs onto the site. The footage shows those dogs harassing livestock, giving rise to serious concerns as to causation and liability for the deaths. This material has been formally provided to the police.

On 28 December, a further incident occurred in which all hoofstock were unlawfully released, resulting in damage to secured containers, as shown in footage currently being shared online. The animals were re-secured. Two cigarette ends were found on site, further evidencing unauthorised access and interference.

Assertions of financial mismanagement are misleading and inaccurate. These relate exclusively to a former trustee, identified, removed, and reported several months ago, who was found to have diverted charity funds into a personal account. This matter is being addressed through the Charity Commission and the police.

While operational lessons have been identified, animal welfare has at all times been prioritised, and no harm has occurred through neglect. Any failures arose from reliance on individuals who are now the subject of investigation.

Given the ongoing police enquiries, no further comment will be made. Any continued publication or repetition of false allegations may result in formal legal action without further notice. A full, evidenced account will be released when it is lawful and appropriate to do so.

I will however attach a few pictures taken between the 22nd December and 30th December showing the animals and site before it was deliberately damaged.

THEFT AND DAMAGE - WE NEED YOUR HELP

Sometime between 5:30pm on Monday 12th
January and 9:30am on Tuesday 13th January, Hugo's was broken into, causing significant loss and distress. Around £2,000 worth of items were stolen and unnecessary mess and damage caused.

Both site gates were found locked and untouched, and the main perimeter is secured with 6ft-high deer fencing, meaning those responsible deliberately breached the site to carry out this theft.

The police are involved, but we urgently need the public's help. If you were in the area, noticed anything suspicious, or have seen approximately 200 of the items shown in the picture being sold locally, please contact us immediately via inbox.

If you happen to pass the site from now on and see anything out of the ordinary, please report it straight away.

All information will be treated strictly confidentially, or you can contact Lancashire Police quoting reference:
LC-20260113-0429

Please share this post. Any information, no matter how small, could be vital while police review CCTV footage and gather statements. Thank you ☺️
