What the petition asks
Imagine standing in one place all day and night, no shelter, no companionship, unable to escape danger and sometimes without water. You cant take more that five steps in any direction and most of the time this occurs by a busy loud road.
Does this sound like abuse to you? Well it is within the confines of the law if you are a horse in Britain.
Please sign this petition to make this illegal. If a person does not have the space and means to care for an animal they should not be allowed to keep it. Speak up now for horses who cannot speak for themselves.
