💔 THIS IS HEARTBREAKING. COULD DARTMOOR TRULY LOSE ITS PONIES? 🐴📉
A devastating warning has been issued by campaigners who fear that up to NINETY PERCENT of Dartmoor’s iconic semi-wild hill ponies could completely disappear from the moorland.
Over 23,000 people have already signed an emergency petition demanding action to protect them.
New rules drawn up by Natural England mean that grazing limits across the moors are being slashed. But here is the catch: campaigners say the famous ponies are being lumped into the exact same livestock quotas as commercial cattle and sheep.
Because they are competing for the same reduced space, it's feared farmers will be forced to remove the ponies to make way for more financially viable livestock.
The Dartmoor Hill Pony Association warns that numbers have already plummeted from 7,000 to just 900 in the last 25 years. They are already listed as an officially endangered native breed. Campaigners warn that once they are gone from the moor, they are gone forever.
Natural England says they want to ensure "optimal numbers" remain and that ponies are vital for restoring the landscape—but officials confirm they must be included in the total livestock count.
Dartmoor simply wouldn’t be Dartmoor without the ponies. Do you think it’s fair to treat these historic animals the same as farm livestock?

Next week the HSA will be releasing previously unseen footage of what can only be described as a sickening and barbaric act of cruelty. It will shine a light on the depravity of hunters and the terror they inflict.
Coming soon...
Evil fox hunters such as convicted animal abuser Stuart Radbourne (pictured below digging out a fox) and hunts like the Crawley and Horsham whose hunt staff have been caught numerous times and have multiple Hunting Act convictions, are being welcomed into drag hunts and more widely the Master of Draghounds and Bloodhounds Association (MDBA) to beat the ban on so-called “trail” hunting - everyone knows that fox hunts will stop at nothing to keep chasing and killing foxes with packs of dogs, and the MDBA is in their sights to form the new smokescreen if the governments’ ban isn’t strong enough.

Great to see Jim Clark from NatureWatch Foundation on BBC Breakfast this morning focusing on the growing problem of young people wounding killing domestic & wild animals with high powdered catapults @scruffycop@BornFreeFDN@BBCBreakfast
⚠️ What on earth is wrong with these children? What kind of homes are they being raised in?

Please speak with your children, and make them aware deliberately harming wildlife is a criminal offence.
A group of children were seen stamping on a litter of baby bunnies, this one was the only survivor.
He weighs 39 grams, and chances are he won’t survive his injuries.
Unfortunately we do not have a description of the children involved, but this isn’t the first incident locally that we are aware of.

🚨 Ban Catapults NOW!! 🚫
There is a major and highly concerning surge in teenagers and children using high-powered catapults to kill and torture wildlife and pets across the United Kingdom. Animal welfare charities, police forces, and local communities are actively campaigning for stricter laws to curb this trend, which is largely driven by viral social media challenges.
Perpetrators are primarily targeting large, slow-moving water birds like swans, Canada geese, and ducks. However, attacks have also been recorded against pigeons, gulls, squirrels, foxes, deer, and domestic pets like dogs and cats.

Zack Polanski is not calling for a list of Jews. He’s calling for a list of people who left Britain to kill children in Palestine. If those people happen to be Jews that’s on them.
No decent person will be on that “list”.

Be quiet.
The UK Govt has NOT declared the IDF to be a proscribed terrorist organisation - for which both serving in - having served in & expressing support for - will result in your arrest.
Please RT this until they have.
Thank you.
