I hope that I am ok to post this here. It is not a wildlife issue but is an animal welfare issure and I assume that this forum is frequented by animal lovers.
---------------------
Please join us in asking Judge Kainth to overturn his decision to return 29 donkeys and ponies to James Gray and to send 82 rescued horses to a public auction.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
Please write directly to Judge Kainth to express your views on exactly why these equines SHOULD NOT be returned to the Gray family and why the remaining horses SHOULD NOT be sent to a public auction.

Please ask every animal lover you know to write to Judge Kainth. There might only be a tiny chance that we can change his mind but for the sake of the horses that chance must be taken. BTW even if you are not living in the UK please write. If these animals are returned or sold then it will set a very bad precedent for future cruelty cases.
I have set up a Facebook group to help spread the word.

Let's hope it makes a difference.
