Another welfare case result for ERF

Posted by on Nov 29, 2008 in Association News, Donkeys, Rescues, Welfare | 0 comments

Ruby was a bit upset to begin with as she was too weensie to see that Ebony was on the other side, but she settled down, and they...

New shocking revelations of live transport

Posted by on Nov 19, 2008 in Campaigns, Donkeys, Horses, Legislation, Welfare | 2 comments
Yesterday, World Horse Welfare submitted a dossier to the European Commission requesting laws be tightened up that govern the live transport of horses going to slaughter.
