Scratching my head for some sort of practical response to these tragic abandonment cases recently. The 2 colts in the news today just another example of this horrible form of fly tipping.
If people are bothered to load them up and drive them somewhere quiet - while alive! couldn't we have some sort of anonymous / prosecution free places to take them to - at least so they can be PTS quickly not left to die in the cold slowly. If vets signed up to it you could have a network around the country (or in areas where which is most prolific)
Would there even be a hope that people would dump them a little before it's completely too late? so the odd one could make it.
Would hunts take these kinds of poor things in for hound food? Should that me much better advertised ?
Or should we all be getting horses put back on the dog food menu so the 6 month old colour colt is at least worth £25 for dog food and won't be pushed out the back of a truck unable to stand in a storm
Sorry for ranting - really made me sad this morning reading the news AGAIN !
