Dear all,
I'm sure everybody is aware of the recent court ruling which has decreed
that 29 of the animals rescued from Spindles Farm in Amersham must be
returned to the Gray family, four members of which are awaiting on trial on
offences under the Animal Welfare Act (2006). A further 82 horses must be
removed from the sanctuaries where they are currently housed, and sold at
public auction on May 3rd.
Obviously this ruling defies any logic and, while it will be hard to
overturn, we have to do what we can. So please could I ask you all to take a
couple of minutes to add your name to the online petition which has been
organised by the National Equine Welfare Council.
http://www.gopetition.com/online/18321.htmlAnything that you could do to publicise the petition further would also be
much appreciated - friends, family etc.
Please add your name - it will only take a couple of minutes and the horses
involved deserve better treatment than this.
