"Help the Horses" Campaign

 Index

Background - the export of horses from Lithuania to southern Europe

Action and Positive Results - progress in Lithuania and Italy

Live Export Conference - report of a conference in London hosted by Naturewatch

Latest Developments - further progress in Lithuania

Each week over 100 lorries crammed with horses arrive at the Italian border.  Many will have travelled almost 1,500 miles, often without rest periods contrary to European Union law.

Naturewatch is working with other European animal welfare groups to stop this cruel trade.
