Live Exports from the UK

Dear all,




I am writing this to you in a plea for your help.....




It has recently been aired on the BBC about the Transportation of live ponies out of the UK, these ponies leave the UK with a uncertain fate, well, we say uncertain but I think we all know these ponies are going into the meat trade.


Ponies are being transported with very little care and with no welfare checks at all World Horse Welfare have started a campaign and you can support them and the ponies by following the link below:

Quote from World Horse Welfare:

World Horse Welfare is calling for the legislation meant to protect our most vulnerable horses and ponies from indiscriminate export to be properly enforced as a matter of urgency. We want to help the enforcement agencies to protect horses and ponies, by continuing to provide intelligence and expertise as we have done in the past.

Maureen Rolls SWEP founder has been aware of these irresponsible transporters and has passed this down to our welfare team who are constantly monitoring equine transportation, especially as we attend all the markets across Devon and Cornwall.
