World Horse Welfare releases Miles of Pain appeal.
 |
| Photo World Horse Welfare. |
If it wasn't bad enough to discover that horse meat was being passed off as beef in the UK, it's also highly likely that this meat is the product of horses that have suffered pain, dehydration and disease during long distance transportation across Europe to slaughter.
World Horse Welfare have just released a report from their in-house investigator John (name changed to protect his identity) describing the horrific ordeals that these horses and ponies are forced to endure on their gruelling journeys across Europe.
Horses, ponies, donkeys, mules and even foals are forced onto the back of lorries, packed tightly together and travel for days on end without food or even water. Sometimes they don't even separate mares and stallions which as you can imagine leads to even more chaos. In their last days these animals suffer from severe dehydration, exhaustion, injuries and stress.
In 1937 when World Horse Welfare were known as ILPH they managed to stop the export of live horses for slaughter from Great Britain and thankfully this legislation is still in place today. Unfortunately, in Europe, every year 65,000 horses still have to endure these long and stressful journeys which World Horse Welfare say are completely unnecessary as there are many licensed slaughter houses across Europe that could take them.
WHW have made great progress with their on-going
Transport campaign, managing to reduce the number of horses being transported by a massive 100,000! But there are still 65,000 horses that need their help, and they need yours!
If you want to support World Horse Welfare in their campaign to help stop horses having to endure these punishing journeys then
donate to their Miles of Pain appeal. By giving a small donation or
taking action you can help to keep up the pressure on the European Commission in Brussels to introduce a maximum journey limit of 9 to 12 hours, ending the torment caused by these terrible journeys.
Together we can create a better future for horses. www.troton.com-sharing a passion for horses.
