What the petition asks
A tethered horse is a horse on a length of chain. Unable to move beyond the confines of the chain and often without shelter, sufficient grazing and water. Many are tethered 24/7 and spend their days going round and round in circles. They are not living, just existing. You can help end this.
If you would like to see instances of tethered horses and how despondent and resigned to their fate they look then visit the Facebook page of Save the Papermill Horses.
