under the subject heading of Operation Esther I have emailed the following to my local newspapers:
I am writing to you to ask if xxxxx can do a story relating to the Horses Saved from Spindles Farm in Hyde Heath. The online community of the Horse and Hound Open Forum have started a movement we are calling Operation Esther, named after the two month old donkey foal rescued from this equine concentration camp. We are asking that:
1) People support the horse charities involved especially with financial donations or donations of rugs, blankets, equipment or veterinary supplies. We ask that people give up just one luxury - that bottle of wine you drink by the TV of an evening, one packet of cigarettes, that quick pint down the pub - anything, and send the money to the ILPH, Horse Trust or Redwings to help with the massive veterinary bills they are facing due to the actions of one man.
2)We are calling for a public inquiry into what went wrong, as is the BHS (British Horse Society)
3) We are asking people to broadcast and sign up to our petition on the Government website, which is being set up over the next few days to show their support for us.
4) We are asking for any changes to the law or procedures to be made to prevent this from ever happening again.
As a community we have organised large scale collection of equipment, feed and bedding in many areas of the UK and several of our members are loading this collection into their own lorries and distributing it to the charities over the next few days. We are working on other fund raising ideas including raffles and sponsored rides and other ways to highlight this to the general public. This is a tragedy of immense proportions and should never be allowed to happen again.
The horses that died must NOT have died in vain. They need to be remembered as the ones that stopped anything like this from ever happening again.
We would be grateful of any help from xxxxxx.
Many Thanks
sorry - i ripped a few bits off from peoples posts. I hope it ok. I'll let you know if I hear anything
