Change the Animal Welfare Act to make tethering Horses and other animals illegal

The Issue

Imagine standing in one place all day and night, no shelter, no companionship and unable to escape danger. You can’t take more than four steps in any direction and most of the time this occurs by a busy road. Does this sound like abuse to you? Torture maybe? Well it is within the confines of the law if you are a horse in Britain. Please sign this petition to make this illegal. If a person does not have the space and means to care for an animal they should not be allowed to keep it. Speak up now for horses who cannot speak for themselves.
