Stop Horse Smuggling: Rosie's story
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ค. 2024
- Our Stop Horse Smuggling animation tells the story of Rosie, a much loved-loved riding pony who found herself at the ruthless hands of smugglers. Her story is based on our charity’s investigations and research work, including what we know about the ‘Dover 26’ a group of horses that came into our care after they were discovered being illegally smuggled into Europe.
Transported to and from the UK in horrendous conditions, deprived of food and water, kept in cramped and filthy, unsafe conditions - the frightened horses caught up in the horse smuggling trade are not only exhausted but experience rough handling and mistreatment, as well as being at high risk of disease. Some of these horses may be bound for slaughter but for the vast majority their fate is unknown and could be much worse.
The traders involved see horses as mere commodities. They do not care for their welfare and cut costs at every opportunity. By giving the horses new identities, they can hide a horse’s history and sell them on for a higher cost. Should the smugglers be caught then there are minimal consequences, meaning there is no deterrent or repercussions for these illegal activities.
For horses to be protected from horse smuggling, we must make it harder for traders to hide journeys and reidentify horses which is why our charity is pushing for a fully digitalised equine identification and traceability system and better enforcement.

💔 I dare not imagine what the 'fate much worse' could possibly be.
Thanks for highlighting this horrific trade, and good luck at Badminton Horse Trials, hope more people spread the word from there 🙏💖🐴💖
Thank you so much, all you wonderful folks at World Horse Welfare. You have made such a difference in the lives of abused and mistreated horses and ponies, and also with your global outreach to teach humane treatment for working horses in 3rd world countries. I wish there was a way for us in America to donate.
Go to their homepage to donate from outside the UK.
This is so sad, hopefully we can all stop this ❤
Keep upthe good work
Owners shouldn’t be selling their elderly or unsound equines to horse traders; I’d rather donate it to a Horse rescue centre!
This is why I will never sell my horses. I made a lifelong commitment to them.
My heart horse I had as a kid was sold to one of these creeps. I am now in my 40s and I am still angry about it and probably always will be!
Sad truth of what happens to horses! :(
This is all too common. 💔😢
WHY? WOULD ANYONE TRUST A HORSE DEALER?
❤❤
Come on whw you have loads of horses in your care and you put up a cartoon you are better than that.put up real life horse stories this is what the viewers want to see and please put them up more frequently you won't spread awareness by putting up cartoons but do keep up the great work ye do with horses 😊❤
This film demonstrates every step of the smuggling process in a brief yet emotional animated short. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been "made more aware" of the issue by this "cartoon". Well produced and powerful, WHW!
I have interacted with hundreds of children/yputh who come from equally dstrewsing situations. A cartoon is more easily and readily absorbed than shwoing trauma to animals - plenty of Horse Welfare videos and Horse Plus (Tennessee, USA) videos showing such horrors.
Rosie would want others to know of the dreadful plights of horses, absolutely. She did not die in vain. This cartoon eases the pain ...
Do your homework before you get rid of any of animals . Home checks, vet references, it's your responsibility
