A recent report commissioned by Exmoor National Park revealed that some breeders of Exmoor ponies within the National Park are continuing to ear tag their ponies (as well as microchipping and hot branding them) - the breeders admit that they know the practise is illegal. We have already been in contact with Devon Trading Standards to report that this breach of the Animal Welfare Act.
We worked very hard back in 2010 to make sure that illegal ear mutilations on wild ponies were stopped (with the help of BEVA and the BVA) and it is part of our charity aims to make sure that the law is adhered to and enforced.
