ACTION ALERT: Tell Eastbourne Council That Horses Are Not Slaves
Animal Defence Society | 07.03.2012 12:20 | Animal Liberation
Eastbourne Council has announced its plans to introduce horse drawn carriages on the seafront of Eastbourne as a ‘tourist attraction’. Cllr Neil Stanley has already expressed that he is ‘excited’ about the plans to introduce horse drawn carriages. Animal rights groups have objected to the proposal. The understanding is that Animal Aid are giving a presentation against the horse drawn carriages proposal.
According to the council, the Cabinet has given the green light for horse drawn carriages. There are concerns about the horses welfare as well as concerns for road users. One comment on Eastbourne Herald by ‘jackson555′ was:
“How anyone could think that horses mingling with the traffic in Eastbourne is a good idea is beyond me. These sensitive creatures will be terrified and cause dangerous situations. And for what? To make a quick buck. If this idea is accepted Eastbourne’s reputation will suffer hugely and we will be deluged by animal rights activists and protests. In Victorian times it would have been acceptable to use dumb animals in this way for profit, but not in 2012. This is a cruel, backwards scheme that should never have got past the drawing board stage.”
Please send your objection to Eastbourne Council. Please only send polite comments, and forward this alert widely!
