I have just received the spring news. In it is an article on the Amersham case. This is not to start an argument about it
Taken from the article ' Tragically, Amersham was not the only large case we were involved with. Very soon after it, we dealt with another major welfare concern in North Wales involving multiple horses, 14 of which were taken into World Horse Welfare care. We are also involved in an ongoing situation in Scotland which could result in another influx of ponies into our care. Although the public reaction to the case in Amersham showed that we are a nation of animal lovers, there are still a horrifying number of welfare cases in the UK every year and we will always need your support to help the horses involved.'
I have mentioned before Amersham is nothing new and there are many similar cases - worse! Amersham made the news, many don't. We work tirelessly on horse welfare. We are a very small charity with no funding/donations (not about funding by the way, it is our choice to do this work) and usually only make the local paper. We are currently working on a case of 100+ horses. Many of the cases cannot come into the public eye and i cannot talk about the big case unfortunately, its hard going but i won't give up.
My point is everyones heads were turned to the Amersham case. It is fantastic the support people have shown but as WHW has said and i have said there are many more cases. My point is, those of you that have taken a big interest and done something, you can help bring to light other cases. The Amersham case is being dealt with by the courts, of course we are all interested. You could help 100's more horses by carrying on the fight with the ones not yet brought to the attention of charites. People have spoken loud and clear over the Amersham case, there are more cases that need you to speak loud and clear and help put an end to suffering. We discovered the 100+ horses from a phone call from a worried horse person. They had gone to view a horse for sale in a magazine. What they found was not good and they spoke up. It only takes one phone call.
