- From: onthewedgeseat
-
Description:
it seems to be that time again..ponies covered in bott fly eggs ( is that one t or two ? ..well whatever )
the boys come in each day covered in tiny yellow eggs and there i sit on my stool,picking them off.i went into the chemist as i was told a human de-lice comb removes them ,but as everyone in the shop stepped sideways as i asked for one,i abandoned that idea so picking it is..then there is the dreaded warble fly,hovering menacingly at speed no matter how fast the ponies gallop to free themselves of this little horror.ah , but not blackberry,clever little soul is blackberry.
i was 'poo picking' the paddock when she trotted across and lay down about ten feet from me.i watched as she rolled gently over ,lay there,got up,went down again and did the same the other side..oh colic i thought..no,there it was ,the dreaded bott fly hovering around her ..panic ?.. no,not our blackberry,she just stayed there,little legs tucked underneath her well away from the little hovering devil.over i went,slapped my hands across the fly,very dead was it..up she got ,looked at me as if to say ..you took your time..and off she went back to the important business of filling her face.
never have i seen anything like that,such intelligence,what a little treasure is lluest blackberry.how sad her previous owners abused her so,well it is their loss and our gain...

A critical vote on vivisection
- From: voicesforhorses
-
Description:
This information has been sent in by Animal Aid
A critical vote on the future conduct of vivisection is imminent. Your help is needed now.
An absolutely vital vote on the future of vivisection is taking place this coming Tuesday, March 31. The vote relates to the new Directive that will govern how animal research is conducted across the European Union – the UK included – and will replace the current rules, which are 23 years old. Tuesday's vote will be by the European parliament's Agricultural Committee, which has the biggest say of all the parliament's committees on how the new Directive will look.On Tuesday, its members will be voting on a set of proposals produced by the committee's 'rapporteur' – an English MEP called Neil Parish. Parish's proposals have alarmed animal protection bodies throughout Europe for the way they would seriously weaken existing animal protection measures. They would, for example, permit animals to be subjected to 'severe, prolonged suffering'. And, instead of providing additional protection for primates – which is what the European Commission has called for – he wants monkeys to be used for curiosity-driven research that, for example, involves the infliction of severe brain damage, the withholding of food and water, and holding brain-damaged animals in restraint chairs, while they are forced to press icons on a computer screen over and over again.
Please send an email TODAY or TOMORROW to the eight UK members of the Agricultural Committee. Their addresses are as follows:
jim.allister@europarl.europa.eu
james.nicholson@europarl.europa.eu
neil.parish@europarl.europa.eu
brian.simpson@europarl.europa.eu
alyn.smith@europarl.europa.eu
struan.stevenson@europarl.europa.eu
robert.sturdy@europarl.europa.eu
jeffrey.titford@europarl.europa.eu
Some key points to stress are:You are alarmed by attempts to weaken animal protection measures that the European Commission wishes to see introduced.
The Commission wants to phase out the use of wild-caught primates. Amendments that conflict with this goal must be opposed. Despite scaremongering by pro-animal research industry groups, there is no evidence that such a phase-out would damage medical research.
You oppose proposals that would allow any animal to be subjected to 'prolonged, severe' suffering.
Reducing animal use will improve the quality of science, as well as preventing animal suffering. This will make European laboratories attractive to business and academic researchers rather than – as has been threatened – lead to an exodus to parts of the world where standards are lower.
It is vital that all proposed 'projects' using animals are scrutinised rather than being given automatic approval. The Committee is faced with proposals that would allow most research projects to go through on the nod.
You support measures that call for regular thematic reviews of specific areas of animal use and replacement by non-animal systems. Without such a systematic approach, the introduction of non-animal methods will be an unnecessarily protracted process.
Increased accountability, transparency and access to information – as well as data sharing to avoid duplication of experiments – are all vital.
You urge Committee members not to bow to the powerful, self-interested biomedical lobby. They should vote instead for measures that increase animal welfare and which tackle unjustified secrecy and concealment. - Blog post

Dartmoor-Road traffic accident
- From: lastangels
-
Description:
'...Farmers, vets and local welfare groups such as SWNewspaper clip about Moorcare campaign.EP and the Dartmoor Livestock Protection Society, have welcomed the campaign to raise the awareness of motorists on the moors.
They also called on motorists involved in collisions with animals not to ignore the incident, but to report the accident to the police, local vet or one of the animal welfare groups such as SWEP.
The 4 month old foal whose picture has touched the hearts of so many people was sadly left for dead until discovered by a motorist who contacted SWEP. The foal was still alive but its spine had been damaged and it was unable to get up. There was also concern for the mare who was obviously distressed and criss-crossing the road in panic. Sadly, nothing could be done and a local vet euthanased the foal.
The Dartmoor National Park Authority and the Highways Agency now plan to launch their own campaign, and are discussing means of reducing number of livestock killed on the roads. SWEP has attended such accidents on a weekly basis during the winter, and although the campaigns to slow traffic are welcome, we believe the only sure-fire way to eliminate these deaths is by physical barriers. We have been campaigning for a stockproof fence to be erected on two notorious roads across Dartmoor .
Article from WE http://www.swep.org.uk/moorcare.htm
South West Equine Protection Campaign for the fencing of Dartmoor roads.
Please help support this campaign to stop the needless injuries and deaths of ponies on Dartmoor. Thank you.
Please note: Some of the images on the links are graphic.

...'Sadly there are not many weeks that go by without us being called to a road traffic accident (RTA). These needless deaths and injuries are not confined to the tourist season and the effect on the lives of all those involved, grazing stock and humans alike is profound. The mare pictured above was struck by a car on Dartmoor just a few weeks ago. SWEP attended but was unable to do anything to save her. Read more on link below....
