World Horse Welfare's petition against the long distance transportation of horses to slaughter in Europe, Make A Noise, was delivered to representatives of the EU Commissioner on Wednesday 30th September 2009.

An evening reception hosted by Liz Lynne MEP was attended by a cross party selection of MEPs, who were joined by campaigners from their constituency and key staff from World Horse Welfare.

  • That is sick:((((

  • my pony was saved from slaughter, and i signed the petition, i don't understand why horses need to be slaughtered for the benefit of tourists. a lot of people think that talented horses and ponies aren't sent, but me and my pony have qualified for two national finals, and are points league, junior points and 1.10m champions at our riding club, i don't get their point. i never will. it is great what WHW are doing, although i feel a bit ashamed of people who ride in the UK - are 1.5 bn of us!

  • i wana save every horse from slaughter :'(

  • they ask the question why are inflicting so much pain and suffering onto the horses.

    answer:

    because we are human, and humans are evil. look at the world. we do the same thing to dogs in countries where they are eaten. Even in the USA dogs are treated like shit, not eaten, but still neglected abused etc.

  • That's really upseting but needs to be brought up on the news more often. X

  • That is an awful way to travel, sadly compared to how US horses are shipped that would be considered a lux box. US horses are shipped in cattle trailers which are double decker trailers that are cattle sized no where near horse sized

  • Thank you for all the wonderful work you do for the horses and ponies.
