CliveH Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Lots of protest at the moment - see:- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/7652320.stm I cannot believe that these unelected numpties are introducing rules that would be unenforceable and so ridiculously against animal welfare. They want to ban winter rugs on horses - why? do they look prettier when they shiver? The want to ban field shelters for horses - why? do they think horses prefer being wet as well as cold? They want to ban the segmentation of paddocks - why? do they like to see laminitic horses and ponies? But they WANT to segment dog owners into designated "dog walking areas" - why? have they got it in for people walking their dogs as they have done ever since the New Forest was formed? Oh! and they want to introduce a toll system/congestion charge for New Forest roads. If anyone is interested in more or even signing the petition against these stupid changes the please look at:- http://www.forestuprising.org.uk/ The New Forest is for visitors as well as those lucky enough to live here. Don't let some unelected group of politically correct numpties destroy and change what is enjoyed by visitors and residents alike. >:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick H. Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I seem to remember that people had misgivings about the setting up of the New Forest NPA. That things would change, but were reasured that it was in everybodys best interest. Ho-Hum,Makes you wonder what the government will do with the banks. Mick.
