Having owned a horse myself, I understand the deep bond and tranquility these magnificent creatures bring into our lives. Horses are the epitome of grace, strength, and calmness, yet not all horses are fortunate enough to experience the life of love and care they deserve. The life expectancy of a horse can be up to 25 to 30 years, but horses forced into grueling activities have a shortened lifespan, tragically averaging only 3 years.

Horses subjected to Gili T’s horse-drawn cart system are often found working under the most dreadful conditions. They are expected to labor tirelessly through scorching hot temperatures, without access to essential resources like water and food to remain hydrated and energised. This lack of basic care leads to severe physical and mental stress, resulting in their premature demise.

No living being, especially not these angelic creatures, should endure such a level of neglect and abuse. It's time we take a stand to protect these horses from the harsh and inhumane conditions imposed upon them. This callous practice directly contradicts our responsibility to ensure the welfare and humane treatment of animals.

End the Practice of Using Horses for Transport on Gili, we can help lift these horses out of their plight and afford them the chance to live out their years as nature intended. It is a change that is not only necessary but overdue. Our horses deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, to live long and healthy lives, basking in nature’s bounty rather than being subjected to relentless exploitation.

Please stand with us in urging authorities to implement a ban on Gili T. Ensuring a brighter future for these noble animals. Sign this petition and lend your voice to an urgent call for change, for the sake of horses everywhere.
