THIS IS LINKED  to:- http://www.cefn-yr-erw.co.uk/  the "Chimp Sanctuary" in Brecon Beacons fringe  is what it started as but now home to Goats, Cattle, Shire Horses, to little ones plus Foxes, Wolves all being rescued from all around the World, ill treated Physically & emotionally damaged animals which cannot plead their case are cared for, it is a lot more than than a caring gentle or humane human can imagine & merits more than just a look, If you enjoy our site there are others which could benefit by receiving even your tiniest assistance. AT LEAST VISIT THAT SITE TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING & WHERE THE ANIMALS GET HELP. Even a line of assorted Ducks walking safely around the Sanctuary, or swimming in the pond, take a look and you'll see they had been shot or trapped & had an eye missing part of a leg or wing blasted away, they live safely in unison with other animals, 'even Baboons rescued from being kept in tiny cages in Lebanon, where do they find care? HERE where help can be appreciated. One has just arrived which had been confined to a Laboratory Cage & did not even know how to climb.

www.gowerbirdhospital.org.uk   Birds and Hedgehogs too, great dedicated people who will help all & can always use help plus funds to help helpless hurt creatures.   Always worth viewing, always worth helping too, do not be one of those who would avoid it, you will feel far better for doing so.

www.rescuedracers.org  A non profit making Voluntary organisation for so many Rescued Racers!. Greyhounds to some are put down or just thrown away when (like me) too old or injured to race.    Lovely natured animals can be superb pets, they however can say nothing about their plight at the hands of those who care nothing about them.  Phone 01443 422757  Mobile 07900 902784 Charity number 1115492 These have been operating since 1993 if you can help, contribute or have a 'hound in your own home' by  taking one to care for you'll find the Greyhounds to be the most caring you could think of.  You could help tremendously & make a heck of a difference if you can adopt an ex racer & give one a home.

www.animalaid.org.uk  DOUGLAS JONES WAS AN ARMY SCOUT IN WW2 & RIDING HIS ARMY MACHINE ENTERED CONCENTRATION CAMPS etc!.

"Do you fancy a flutter?" is a term which makes Douglas, of Mid Wales shudder, he has always protected humans rights plus those of animals who cannot protect themselves, whether due to his experiences is immaterial.

Seldom noted is described as the Sport of Kings! 'casualties' never brought to the public attention via media.

Horses fall, become valueless & lame then are simply shot by course Vets, or in training. Greyhounds & Whippets & Horses outlive their racing ages & are also 'dispensed with'.

Pony Clubs, Gymkhana organizers, Hunt Followers, Horse Breeders, Racing Trainers, Jockeys, Stable Hands, 'Turf Accountants' (Bookies) & folk they laughingly refer to as 'punters' place their bets confidently hoping for plentiful returns, NEVER even caringly considering the Animals Hurt as a result.

(They do not shoot owners trainers or jockeys if they smash their limbs or get too old to compete so why treat animals like that)

Douglas Jones does not have a website, I can spare a page to consider the suffering caused, does it cause any others to have thoughts on the matter?. I do hope so!. 

HERE IS A PAGE FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY & SUFFERING, CAN ANYONE HELP? OR BOTHER TO?.
