RSPCA Tethered Horses Campaign

John supports the RSPCA's tethered horses campaign - he went out to see for himself along with RSPCA Regional Manager Alan Wolinsky, based in Bramley.

At the moment the RSPCA can intervene when a horse is suffering, but they can't act if a horse is only in a situation likely to cause suffering - such as being tethered in one place for too long, somewhere without shelter in bad weather, with a very heavy chain, or by a busy roadside.

Every year, several hundred people contact the RSPCA with concerns about badly tethered horses they've seen, but until the law is changed, in most cases, they cannot act in time. John is campaigning to change the law.
