The issue of fly-grazing is rife in the UK, the "Control of Horses Act 2015" does not stop cruelty, overbreeding and neglect. Government must do more: euthanising 50% of 'abandoned' horses is not the answer - the 'owners' must be held accountable and prosecuted BEFORE euthanising is the only option.

There is a small group of people who are currently rehabilitating ‘abandoned’ ponies in their care (rescued legally through serving the Abandonment Notice) - last year they took in 20+ and have rehomed all successfully.

But the awful situation continues because the owners are never held accountable and will consequently continue to cause this awful neglect and suffering to many more horses and ponies.
