Secure Stable Shelter for Horses in Sheerness

The Issue

I am a resident of Sheerness, UK, and my horses are suffering due to the corrosive canal and frequent flooding. This is a result of neglect from our local council. My horses need shelter - this is not just an animal welfare issue but also a personal one.

Sheerness has been facing increasing issues with flooding due to climate change and inadequate infrastructure. The corrosive canal poses additional risks to the health and safety of our animals. We need immediate action from our council to address these issues.

According to RSPCA guidelines, all horses should have access to shelter from extreme weather conditions (source: RSPCA). In light of the current situation in Sheerness, it's clear that we're failing in providing this basic necessity for our equine friends.

We urge the local council in Sheerness to take immediate action by improving flood defenses around areas housing animals and ensuring adequate shelters are provided for them. Let's protect our animals from further harm caused by environmental factors beyond their control.

Please sign this petition if you believe that every horse deserves a safe and secure shelter. Your signature can make a difference!
