Viva!
In markets across Poland, farm horses, foals and even children's ponies are sold to dealers and loaded into trucks - almost all to face a terrifying and painful journey to Italy where they will be slaughtered for meat. Every year, 30,000 horses leave Poland for the slaughterhouses of Italy. There is no rest, no water and no food for many on the road to misery - a five day journey across six countries. Viva!'s campaign has helped to save some 70,000 horses a year. With your help we can save the rest.

The Exmoor Pony Society
Reg Charity: 1043036
The Exmoor Pony is a rare, unique, survivor. For many centuries it existed on the moor with little human interference, except for the annual 'harvest' of young animals. In the last 200 years, changes, such as enclosure of much of the moor, intensification of agriculture, 'improvement' of our native ponies by cross-breeding, and the spread of motor transport, led to a decline. In 1921 the Exmoor Pony Society was set up, largely by local breeders and enthusiasts, to ensure the continuation of the true, pure-bred Exmoor Pony and to overcome its many threats.

World Horse Welfare (formerly ILPH)
Reg Charity: 206658
The mission of the World Horse Welfare is to protect horses from abuse and alleviate their suffering by rehabilitating, campaigning and educating worldwide. Their vision is a world where the horse is used by never abused. World Horse Welfare works hard to improve the welfare standards of horses being transported and exported for slaughter; it runs four recovery and rehabilitation centres in the UK - where abused and neglected horses are cared for and rehomed, wherever possible, in loving homes; and it works with communities in the developing world to provide education to improve the general welfare of equines. For more information on the work of the World Horse Welfare please visit www.ilph.org. |
