AS a nation of animal lovers, there must be one animal that holds a special place in our affection - the horse.
However, I was appalled to learn of new EU proposals to inflict great suffering on these animals. For around 30 years, the export of horses, ponies and donkeys from the UK for slaughter abroad has been banned.
However, new EU regulations will force the UK to drop its ban. You can obtain information, sign petitions and so on by calling 01730 268863.
