Countdown to Friday!

Posted by on May 27, 2008 in Uncategorized | 0 comments
Why? Because it’s our first AGM of course! Unfortunately it looks as though many of you can’t join us if the flood of proxy votes is anything to go by! It’s reassuring to know that we have your backing and all your encouraging messages have been very motivating – THANK YOU! For the few of you that haven’t yet used your proxy vote, please do send them in (with...

Because worse than death, there is suffering…

ERF are delighted to report that they helped to facilitate the rescue and re-homing of a lovely 9 month old donkey called Annie last weekend. Annie had been due to go to market the past weekend where her future would have been very uncertain – many of the foals from this market are taken straight for slaughter. Each year the farmer who owned Annie’s mother would breed a foal from...
