ISPCA Hay Drive for horses in distress

The wet summer of 2012 will leave more horses, ponies and foals in distress, compared to previous years, says the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
ISPCA Hay Drive for horses in distress

Because hay is becoming scarce, the problem of feeding has become especially difficult this winter, according to the Society, which has launched its 2013 Hay Drive, seeking support from the public to help feed, care for, and rehome the animals in ISPCA care.

The Society received and responded to over 1,500 equine distress calls related to neglected or abused animals in 2012. Almost 100 had to be taken into care. Equine distress calls in 2013 are expected to reach 1,700.
