END ANIMAL CRUELTY

I am just a horse lover that wishes horses would be treated more respectufully. Ways that race and polo horses, as well as horses in third world countries are treated are outrageous. The Brooke charity is an english based charity that support this cause. All information is copied from their official website: www.thebrooke.org........................................... ............................................................ ..........................................................I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT HARMS ANIMALS IN AN UNECESSARY WAYS: KILLING RABBITS, DOGS & CATS, FOXES, AND REPTILES FOR SKIN AND FUR IS BARBARIC. SLAUGHTERING ANIMALS FOR FOOD IS DONE IN PAINFUL UNECESSARY WAYS. WATCHING VIDEOS FROM SLAUGHTER HOUSES WILL OPEN EVERYONE'S EYES INTO THIS CRUEL WORLD... ONCE AGAIN HUMAN ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT SO TAKE ACTION AND START BY STOPPING TO EAT MEAT AND WEAR FUR OR SKIN...The Brooke reaches over 500,000 working horses, donkeys and mules each year. The work these animals do is vital to so many people living in poverty in the developing world. ............................................................ ............................................................ ..................................However, millions of horses, donkeys and mules are suffering right now, in an almost indescribable way. They endure backbreaking work as they are often overloaded, as they haul goods and people to help their poor owners eke out a living. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ................... In blistering heat or unbearable cold they are put to work in vast brick kiln factories, sprawling urban slums, chaotic city streets, remote villages and unforgiving terrain. ............................................................ ............................................................ ........................................................ Yet, the exhaustion, dehydration, malnutrition, disease and painful injuries these poor, loyal animals suffer are mostly preventable. The Brooke is committed to reaching five million of the horses, donkeys and mules suffering the most in the world. We are determined to make sure that these animals have a better life now through free veterinary treatment – and a happier future through training their owners to help their own animals and research to reveal the best solutions for animal suffering. ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ......
