One big secret. a thousand little lies

 IN 2002 Australia witnessed a witch hunt the size and complexity of which had not been seen since the Lindy Chamberlain case. 

At its centre stood the horse Cambridge, his owners and a team of veterinarians attempting to save his life. 

The accusers comprised a protest group, the proprietors of a web site reputed to represent Australia’s equestrian fraternity

 (8 million hits per month), the Bureau of Animal Welfare and the RSPCA, who claimed to have “never had such a response to one issue 

in its entire history”.

All forms of media weighed in, including newspapers, radio stations, television news and affairs programs. 

An on-line chat forum publicized thousands of postings with no regard for modulation. It even made parliamentary discussion.
