Hi folks I am thinking of setting up a new category. This will be concerned with horse (and possibly other anima)l welfare. It will contain the thread for the pony adoption and also if anyone has petitions you can post them there too. Just wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on the matter. Any ideas what we could call it and what else we could include?

Oooh - don't get me started - once I get on my soapbox about welfare and rescue no one else will get a word in edgewise! Trying to restrict myself to practical suggestions, perhaps we could have an official place to put animals we know of in need of homes, and even, (being optimistic), people looking to take animals on?

Thats a very good idea kunuma. Tho we don't get a huge amount of people on the forum there are a few guests browsing so probably worth it.

Oh wow. That's a bit of a topic, all right. Sure you haven't bitten off a bigger chunk than you can chew? Apart from raving lunatics like kunuma and me, who will bring the forum to a grinding halt with all our posts, ranting and raving about everything from pea-brained do-gooders to really evil animal torturers, you will get reams of messages with pleas for homes of saved and to-be-saved animals, as well as new actual incidents that crop up every day. I think the topic is great, but in my opinion, you are going to have to split it into different subjects, so the ravers can rave, the seekers of new homes can seek, and we can all check up on the current state of any animal ill-treatment incidents which occur and are reported.
And there was I thinking ll we ever did was sit curled up in a chair by the fireplace (or radiator, depending on where you live), reading pony books and commenting on life, the universe and everything. Give it a go, it looks as if we are starting a new crusade and well may it prosper!

Konstanze I seem to have some sort of addiction to biting off more than I can chew! If I am in any danger of having enough hours in the day to do what I want to, then I will immediately come up with something extra!
But we have had a few animal welfare related posts, petitions, etc, and we need somewhere to put our pony adoption thread, so thought a new section would be in order. I don't have any intentions of taking over from the RSPCA yet!
BTW apologies to the Redwings adoption people, havent had a chance to sort it with being ill but will get it done in the next couple of days.
