you're probably all aware of it, but i thought it made sense to highlight it anyway www.ilph.org/makeanoise/petition.htmlthere's more info on the site, its basically By adding your voice to ours, you will help World Horse Welfare to achieve the following goals:
* Rigorous enforcement of the EU Regulation, which means:
- Ensuring that horses travel in individual stalls on the lorry
- Horses are strictly vetted for fitness to travel
- Lorries stop as required to feed, water and rest the horses off the vehicle
* Finite journey times introduced into the Regulation for horses travelling to slaughter.
* The end of long distance transportation of horses to slaughter in Europe.
spread the word too, you can download your own petitions to pass around your friends and family, then send them to WHW via the post |

Oh maybe I did, does it involve Barboro? Sorry if you mentioned it above I forgot to read it. The Mini Lottos account on HL might have mentioned it, they did a lotto to raise money for something somehow that had to do with Barboro.

Well, this year at school they started serving coffee milk (coffee flavored milk, my savior since caffine doesn't settle well in my body...) along with the regulars (chocolate, strawberry, whole, skim...) and a couple of kids started this petition against the coffee milk! A ton of kids signed it and they put it in the comments and suggestions box, but thank fully the coffee milk survived!

I don't know why they care, maybe they care about our school's budget? I don't know, but I sure am glad the school didn't take out the coffee milk! I love it!
