Smugglers care about nothing, but the bottom dollar. They do not care about the welfare of these precious animals. Whether they’re in pain, or poor health it’s only about how much money they can make. It’s appalling and heartbreaking 💔 Thank you for all your hard work. 🙏
Absolutely, positively disgusting. Thank you for all that you do for these beautiful and majestic creatures. It sickens me to think of those that you don't get to in time.
Unbelievable people are basically letting these smuggler's to continue transporting these poor horses. In the US we are trying to get new laws so there are no more horses going to slaughter. If people choose to eat horse meat, they should grow their own. Sickening!!😮😢
Thank God for you people. I can't help you because I'm crippled myself and barely able to make it myself because of the little income I have but if I had money I would definitely give it to you to help stop these people. Please keep up the good work and God bless you. Please save the horses
Those gypsy vanners and cobs are very wanted in Europe and cost a lot of money. That explanes it all. Once i bought one, a mare. She must have been abused a lot, she was terrified when you tried to touch her legs for instance or moved too fast with your hands. She had pain on her legs and went lame after riding her. She was so sweet. We decided to let her enjoy the rest of her life in the pasture. Sadly it was only a couple of years, her pain increased a lot and at one time we did have to let her go, in love. At least she knew that she was loved a lot and she had been enjoying it. RIP Angel
It looks like a pony hoarder or a pony hoarder’s family told a trader to take the whole lot, just get them out of here. The trader probably opened the gate to their field, ran them all into the trailer, scrounged random papers together or forged them and off they went. And now, no consequences. Absolutely disgusting!
It is so awful what lengths some people go to to make money. Using and abusing animals this way is unacceptable. The disorder of so many areas make everything seem bad at times. The other thing is, they put these horses on the ship knowing the authorities will be looking at them and not the chemicals used to make fentanyl coming off the ships. I'd love to know the name of this ship captain. Thanks for all your hard work caring for the poor horses.
I can't watch this today. But I will say that horses are used and abused in all horse 'sports' and where horses, donkeys, mules, etc. are used to work in fields or as carriage horses. We enslave horses and other animals. They have no say over their lives. They are sentient beings. This means they are thinking, feeling animals, our cousins. The human species is the cruellest.
Thats some fancy looking ponies there. I'm sure they'll find a good home eventually! Glad they got rescued! Unfortunatly it's a world wide problem, Horse Plus Humane in America is also trying to intercept truck loads of horses that mostly are sick and definitly unfit for transport. We should all form a network to stop this horrible practice! Is it possible to raise awareness on a local level by signing a petition to pursue justice for these animals? It's just an idea ..
Every time I see these ponies they all look so fancy! I wish we had ponies here in the US that look like these. They look like Gypsy cobs. Very expensive in the US but seem so common there. I too am a monthly supporter of Horse Plus. I love the work they do to help horses!
@@darlenemckay265they’re not vanners, they’re just your standard cobs, a type not a breed. A very common type here in the uk and Ireland. The Fell pony breed, the black mare they named Fern, is on the rare breed lists and fairly expensive to buy here in the uk despite being a native breed.
Thank you for the unbelievable work you are doing. Here in Ireland its absolutely DISGUSTING what is allowed to go on, there is a demographic of people everyone knows who im talking about, who abuse horses and animals in general in the most cruel way, but nothing is done to stop it as it their "culture" utterly deplorable, they are tied by the neck by rope to railings in the rain with no shelter and in horrendous health. It sickens me beyond words.
Unfortunately, in the US they don’t have to smuggle the horses out. Kill buyers and the slaughter pipeline are legal and truckloads are sent to either Canada or Mexico to be killed for meat. The paper work is often mismatched and the conditions are horrendously cruel. The physical conditions of many of the horses are heartbreaking and include underweight, lameness, blindness, broken legs and putrid wounds. Horse Plus Humane Society is a wonderful US group that rescues horses lobbying government for changes in laws and training other groups to expand the rescue efforts. They have very moving video if you found this video interesting. I think the more people who are aware of these problems and the groups working to save these poor animals, the sooner things will change.
A pony not born will suffer no abuse. It seems their usefulness to us has past and so our treatment of them has deteriorated, and that’s not good for them or us. It’s bad for us to abuse and get away with it. There’s no opportunity to grow when we get away with it.
We here in the US have the same problem. It might be even worse here actually. The traders just keep going from auction to auction with old, injured, sick, and terrified animals until they give up and sell them to the kill buyers by the pound. Then the kill buyers subject them to more horrific conditions and when they do transport them out to Mexico the transports are not suitable for the number of animals on them, there is little to no water or hay, and many of the sick and old and injured go down and are trampled to death in the trailers. Exporting horses to slaughter is illegal in the US, but the business of it THRIVES and it is sickening that it does. We cannot even keep our border secure these days so I am sure the lawmakers in DC and law enforcement have little time to feel sorry for the horses. I hope those who have to have horsemeat get sick from all the drugs and such that are given to American horses, maybe then they will stop calling for more horsemeat.
We need to convince people to stop consuming horse meat. It's a big problem in Japan where Canada ships live draft horses. And yes people will scream that they are no different than cows but in many ways they are. Most horses were bred to be riding animals or pulling carts. They have carried us into wars + been our transportation for centuries. Don't they deserve some respect??
How sad, I thought Britain was a country of animal lovers, but I keep being proved wrong. Every time I hear about things like this it breaks my heart, I just wish I had money to help you & other organisations like you who do their best to help abused animals wherever & whenever they are found. What do these poor animals do to deserve such treatment I'll never know or understand, it's like they're being punished for being alive. But I should not be surprised as there are so many children who have to suffer in the same way, always hearing about this as well. 😢 Funny 😢 how punishments differ for each, just because animals can't speak a language we can understand, does not mean they are worth less than people & it's time people with authority had the necessary money to follow up & prosecute all cases no matter how difficult it is. Punishments should also be tougher, made to fit the crime. Instead of the equivalent of a slap on the wrist, which is what seems to happen a lot of times, because that just means these people are free to keep on behaving in the same way,if they feel like it. This they obviously will as they have already done the same thing, as the saying goes a Leopard can't change his spots, in my opinion neither can people who are so cruel.
good luck. in USA tennessee the cruel Big Lick practice has finally been made federally illegal and their shows end in february ‘25. because people approached congress members and signed petitions.
If that puts an end to big lick then hooray!!! I’d never seen this horrendous cruel practice before, but the very thought that people would take a perfectly healthy young horse and force it into stilts that will inevitably restrict their natural movement, their freedom and eventually ruin their soundness. Fu**ing evil. I’m so grateful to you guys for standing up to big money and big bullies. For horses. ❤️❤️❤️
Its a huge problem in the USA. Many people are in auctions who are called 'kill pen buyers', People who join the auctions in order to buy and sell the unwanted horses for slaughter. These people are somehow protected over rescues and they even kick out or ban rescues in favor of these kill buyers who wanna make a quick buck without caring about the animal. Horses are nothing to them but livestock. The USA is horrible when it comes to actually protecting horses from going over the boarder and do everything to stop people who are against sending any horse for slaughter.
@@lianeschwarzwalder7289 Do you know that Horse Plus takes in any animal even those who should have been put down by their owners long ago? Do you watch their videos? They get high numbers of neglected Amish horses in pretty rough shape that were not given vet care or euthanized but sold at slaughter price to squeeze that last dollar out of the animal. During their buy out they do not discriminate, they buy everything off the trucks and trailers in adoptable condition, to rehabilitate or in need of euthanasia, upon intake each animal is triaged, given proper vet care including, microchipped, wormed, vaccinated, teeth floating on really bad cases, onsite bloodwork and radiographs, as well at a later date any necessary surgeries, teeth floats, castrations and farrier care. Critical animals are given priority. Decisions are made on quality of life. Would you rather they were selective and took only the adoptable horses to keep euthanasia numbers down and let the rest ship to slaughter?
Keep up the good job. Stop this shut her down. I just don't know about these people that do things like this. How can they sleep at night? I would have nightmares but then that's me. I guess our Jasmine Day will come but just keep up the good job. God bless you people
Thank you for rescuing the ponies. I think they were all being transported for slaughter in Italy. And Italy will take pregnant mares, and mare's with foal at foot to end up on the dinner plate. Foal fetus is considered a delicacy in some parts, its disgusting and is heartbreaking 💔 🐴😢😢
Racing: where horses are used and abused for money Rodeo: where horses are used and abused for money Any equestrian "sport": where horses are used and abused for money
Microchipping might be an option. Encourage breeders to do it, whether through a breed registry or vets office, for sure once they are in a humane organizations care. Smugglers are miserable skells
The Registration (Reg.) Plate/Number Plate of the horse truck, stopped at Dover Port. It's movement should be able to be traced via all the CCTV cameras on the main roads/Motorways and Ports. Seeing Great Britain has the highest number of CCTV Cameras per person, in the World. Also the smuggler's or horse truck Driver's "phone" can be traced. Mobile phones are Tracking devices, listening and spying too. But to police, a horse is nothing.
Don’t understand why they smuggle out Horses from Britain, sadly the Horse meat Markets are fully supplied in Europe, Polen, Bulgaria Rumania are fattening up Draft Horses to the max and send them to Italy, France, etc…same in Belgium and even Spain or Portugal discards overbred Stock of PRE and Lusitanos or crossbreeds into the slaughter Pipeline….sadly…please stop the export of your Horses…
It happens in canada the pm allows them to be shipped to china its disgusting i dont like it but we cant get it stopped caisehe wontlisten to us and he wont betruthful about anything that he is doing and it pisses me off!!!!!!? And i love horses they dont deserve to be treated on this manner ever!!!!!🍁🇨🇦🍁💔💕🐎💞🐴💘💗🥕🥕🍎🍎🍠🍠👍✝️🛐🙏🐴😇
One april i was in tok alaska and saw a hauler from big timber, montana who had a double tall load of horses. Open truck, very skinny, ribs showing no food or water, freezing temps for over 2000 miles. I know it was blm horses and were for asian food trade.
This is a world-wide problem. Absolutely disgusting. Thanks for stepping in and sharing it.

OMG, they're beautiful. How is this even happening in this country? We should be ashamed of ourselves.

This is great you caught it, but how many are not !! This needs to stop, worldwide. Thank you for making this known!!
Thank you for all that you are doing.. shameful that you have to do it but a blessing that you're there.
That one at 1:55 wasn't even a year old. That's disgusting!
Yes please do not stop. Keep up the good work. Don't give up on the ponies. These bad people will be caught
Those Poor Babies 😢😮

How About The Suggestible Offer Of Doing Both Against ALL Animal Abusers
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE MISERY HERE!

Would also think someone MUST KNOW these horses!
Neighbours, relations must recognise them!
Take a look at what Horse Plus Humane Society has been doing to combat horse slaughter, perhaps the two of you can team up. They're on UA-cam.
You know that Horse Plus have a very high number of Animals they put down after "Rescue"?

I wouldn't be so sure that they are entirely on the up and up. I have heard rumors and personally would not support horse Plus humane.

Confiscate the trucks.
Been going on for years.
They probably came from Ireland, check out gipsey's
Tnit Canada does a big business in their slauter warehouses. Then the meat is sent to France.
Why are horses being smuggled to Europe?.. is there an equine shortage or something? Where in Europe are they slaughtering & eating horse meat?
Slaughtered for horse meat!😢
France
Italy also.
The only Land in Europe who Horse slaughter is forbidden is Greece. All other countries kill Horses for Meat or Dogfood
