What the petition asks
Give them a chance of life, to live & be happy in forever homes. They could be sold and re-home instead.
So no healthy and sound horses should have their rights of living taken from them.
So no healthy and sound horses should have their rights of living taken from them.
Stop them being destroyed and disposed of for no real reason. This is not kind. They have feelings too.
