The sanctuary has a no-kill policy and also displays a lot of AR literature (SHAC, VIVA, HSA etc) in their reception. They have been rescuing horses, pigs, cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and many other animals from abandonment and abusive situations since 1988. They are one of the largest and best sanctuaries in the North of England and it will be very bad if they close down. If anyone can help them in any way please get in touch with them. There are much more details on their web site at http://www.thornberry-animal-sanctuary.org/
