Description

Away From The Sun
"It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone do what I've done
I missed life.."

Location: Wooburn Green, Buckinghamshire, UK.
Subject: Gypsy Foal's Wall-Eye
Taken with: Canon Powershot S5 IS
Cropping & Sharpening: Adobe Photoshop CS2
Behind The Photograph:
Taken a while back, also manipulated back then too. Where this shot was taken, is a huge collection of gypsy ponies. Most, if not all, the mares are in foal AGAIN this year with a foal at foot too. They have little to no food available - and a water trough that is about 1/2 a foot deep in algae, they are kept behind a barbed wire fence (which when I was younger was a definate no no! Course that may have changed!) The entire field is full to the brim with ragwort and I even saw some of the foals (who are only a few weeks old and should still be suckling) chewing on the evergreen branches that their mothers pulled off the trees in an attempt at nutrients!
It's a disgrace, and I've reported it about four times now, even to go as far as taking photos and sending them into the RSPCA. Nothing has been done yet (I'm not holding my breath! ¬_¬ )
But I designed this as a ' plea for help' kind of photograph. If you had the chance to see what I saw, then you would understand why I chose the song I did and the reason for the VERY black photography/photo-editing. *nod*

omg how can they possibly ignore that! in australia they rush to the rescue of dogs that have been reported as 'mistreated' but are obviously looked after perfectly... *shakes head in disguist*

It'd dreadful, I pass them once or twice a week and am constantly reminded of the RSPCA's lack of doing anything to help them!

I can imagine how you feel, know the problem of not getting help for poor animals. Sad world....

That makes me so sad, hun. Get your friends to call too? Heck, give me the e-mail and the info and I will make a request, even!

We just had a whole herd (about 24) of horses taken away by the SPCA here. As well as dogs and other animals.

So sad

Yeah, it's really unfortunate that people still haven't taken notice of it!

This is beautiful! I'm sorry to hear about those horses, though... that's really awful.

Thank you very much.
Yeah I know, I pass by the field every couple of days, and everytime I do, I'm wishing that they will be gone, not because I don't like seeing them, but that I wish the RSPCA would take some action and help them to help themselves!

You're welcome.

Yeah, that's really sad... especially since you always hear about the RSPCA doing their best to help abused and/or troubled animals; well, where are they, now?
