Move to end horse cruelty
Date published: 18 February 2010
AN Oldham Euro-MP has welcomed a move to end the cruelty suffered by horses transported for slaughter.
Lib-Dem MEP Chris Davies says its great news for campaigners trying to stop animal cruelty.
Last week, a written declaration calling for action was adopted in the European Parliament. The declaration, supported by World Horse Welfare, was launched before Christmas to highlight the suffering endured by many horses as they are moved in lorries and trailers.
