June 2nd 2013 : Wetnose Animal Aid donate £750 to Hillside Animal Sanctuary to help rescue 10 ponies.
Early this morning Hillside gave sanctuary to ten ponies in emergency situation. These exceptionally friendly animals have been through an extraordinary journey of hopelessness and despair. They had been signed over to a meat dealer to face slaughter in a deal which allowed their owner to evade prosecution. Their next stop was to have been the abattoir!
In their short lives, these unfortunate ponies have really been 'through the mill'. They had been 'rescued' by a sanctuary in Wales where very recently 30 other horses and ponies were found starved to death or were so emaciated, they were euthanised by the RSPCA. Did the betrayal of the animals end there?
No, the proprietor of the sanctuary was then, astonishingly, told she must sign over some of the surviving animals, including these ten ponies, to a meat dealer in order to avoid being prosecuted. When news of the heartbreaking events at the sanctuary broke, there was an outcry from animal lovers who raised the funds to buy these ponies their freedom and bring them to Hillside. Unfortunately, it was too late for six of the sanctuary's goats who had already been killed and six of the cows are still in the clutches of the dealer. We are still hopeful that they can also be saved after all they have been through.
Amazingly, this catalogue of events wasn't the beginning of these ponies' tormented lives. Before all this, they had PREVIOUSLY been rescued from slaughter by ANOTHER Welsh sanctuary who had also been closed down after animals there were found neglected and dying. After being so badly let down so many times in the past, for these ponies, Hillside is now their third and final rescue home.
It is only through the determination and dedication of Heather, Lesley, Lisa, Debbie and Andrea from Wetnose Animal Aid (who paid for all the transport fees) that these ponies have been released to enjoy a brighter future at Hillside. All ten ponies are now safe at Hillside. Wetnose is now collecting donations for these 10 ponies at Hillside.

Justice for Borko
My name is Borko I lived a sad life as a stray in my homeland of Bulgaria. Me and the other strays are looked upon as vermin, so we are abused and neglected. When I was a little puppy, a mob of villagers attacked me, and I was beaten so very badly. They snapped my spine, and I was paralysed....
I had given up all hope, when a kind family took me in, and looked after me. They help me by making sure I am safe and cared for. I have to now wear nappies, due to my spinal problem, and I cannot walk on my back legs, so I get about by hopping...
The kind Dr Georgi Litov and his family have taken in some other strays, so I now have some friends for company.
Recently, I was attacked again by a local lynch mob. This happened in the village of Selcha in Bulgaria.
The villagers have always hated stray dogs, and Dr Litov has had death threats. He is hated in our village, all because he is helping us.
The anti-stray dog protesters want my family and me out and there was a Lynch Mob sent to our home with a film crew. I was attacked and beaten again in my own garden...I was sat by the front door, and this horrible man beat me with a stick. I was not able to run away because my legs don't work, so I cowered in fear... the Police were called yet they did nothing. PLEASE share for us and let the world know that the Government in Bulgaria are not enforcing the law against acts of cruelty and that they are allowing the kind people who help animals like me to be persecuted and removed from their home.

Running For Animals Like Penny
I have entered the 2013 Carsington run as I support a number of Animal Charities, including the Irish equivalent of the RSPCA. I ran the last two Robin Hood Half Marathons for these charities.
I used to run when I was younger, and took running up again in 2010 to fund raise for my little dog Penny who we rescued. She was nursed back to health by one of the Rescue Centres on my website, and I constantly try to raise funds raise for them, as Penny has changed our lives.
She was caught in a fox snare in Ireland whilst looking for a safe place to give birth and, because of the snare, 4 of the five babies died and only one survived, She was eventually found but by this time had gangrene in her leg and had to have her leg amputated. Once she had woken up from the anesthetic, all she was looking for was her baby.
Penny won an award for ‘Best Rescue Story’ in 2010 from Wetnose Animal Aid, which inspired me to keep up the hard work!
You can read all about Penny the Animal Charities I support on my website coming soon, as well as the wonderful company who created my website www.getyouonline.co.uk ?who also support my fundraising events!
