Where we are sickened and disheartened

With no apology for reiterating  and duplicating what is already on our website front page. Please follow and read the terrible blog posting from our highly esteemed colleagues at EQUINE RESCUE FRANCE
If you've the stomach after you've read this report just a few questions.

Why in the name of all the many and varied gods would anyone want to do this to any animal let alone baby animals - baby mammals that actually aren't that far removed on the evolutionary chain to your own offspring/family/friends kids.
Would you pack a trailer full of  toddlers send them on a hellish 3 week journey with bugger all to eat and barely enough to drink, would you crush them together in metal pens, bash them about with sticks and  crush them back on board another trailer for yet another 3 days and nights before unloading them to kill them for their skin? would you?
How can this ever been seen in any way as right.

The buck stops here..right slap bang here in the UK with the idiotic over breeding of these valueless, unwanted foals. It stops here with the lax laws that let low life dealers  buy these foals by the lorry load and transport them via the back door into Ireland then out to hell on the EU side.

It stops here in the UK with no real legislation nor teeth nor real penalties to stop this trade in blood. Most of these foals have been through not 1 nor 2 but 3,4 or even more auctions and transport changes before they are finally allowed to die in a terrible way in a terrible place.

EMW-UK saymake it illegal and reinforce it with big fines if any equine is sold through more than 1 auction in any 30 day period. Easily policed with a simple auctioneers stamp on the compulsory passport, after all it might as well have some use, it's bugger all use in any other welfare way!
