It has come to my attention that research shows that female horses are being treated in a sexist manner. Yes, I know this sounds like it's made up but it is not. The research shows that patriarchal attitudes which paint female horses as difficult may lead to them being treated more harshly than male horses. As both an animal lover and a feminist I will not stand for this. Something must be done. A law passed, a Royal Commission launched, anything to help these poor suffering creatures.

Please, anyone who cares about either animal rights or women's rights, please sign this petition and, if at all possible, please contact your member of parliament and tell them of your concerns.

Signed,

A horse-loving feminist
