Horses are often forgotten and slip through the gaps in European laws, meaning they are at high risk of neglect and maltreatment. Whilst some are lucky enough to live out their lives in good homes, others are not. Forced to live in terrible and filthy conditions, horses across the EU are suffering both mentally and physically.
They may be transported hundreds - if not thousands - of miles to slaughter. Some are given new identities to hide their pasts, increasing their value and leading them to be sold for a purpose they are not fit for. All equines are vulnerable to this abuse.
Sign our petition calling on EU decision makers to act now to improve EU laws and ensure these vulnerable animals are protected.
