Pets Corner CEO Dean Richmond faced backlash after a lavish fireworks display at his £4m West Sussex estate resulted in the fatal injury of a nearby horse. Neighbors condemned the noisy event, which Richmond claimed was planned to minimize disruption, leading him to apologize for the distress caused. The incident has raised questions about the hypocrisy of his company’s ethical stance on pets, particularly as he had recently advised pet owners on handling fireworks. Richmond, currently embroiled in a high-profile divorce, expressed his sadness over the horse’s death and stated he was in contact with its owners.
