...my treasures do not sparkle they clink,
they shine in the sun and neigh in the night...

 

 

Let’s free Rocket!

18/01/2011

(2011, January 18th)

IHP-Italian Horse Protection has started a petition to ask for Rocket’s liberation. This mare has been kept in a painful isolation for the past few months, always with the risk of being put down—and all because of an unreasonable interpretation of the current legislation pertaining EIA. Basically Rocket has been declared positive to the Equine Infectious Anemia by the use of an unofficial test, which often gives false positive results. The only official test, the Coggin’s one, gave a negative result, and not just once but twice!

Rocket is a healthy mare but, despite her owners’ appeals (helped by IHP), she is still under sequestration, sentenced to a lonely life and deprived of the freedom a horse naturally needs.

We ask for the Health Under-Secretary, On. Francesca Marini’s intervention, in order to have the current legislation rules applied, so that Rocket may be able to return to lead a serene life, without those walls and cages that are killing her will to live!
