not to throw spanner in works though might it be seen as a little anti-french?
the idea is to try and raise awareness of the live export, we kind of have to appreciate that on the continent people eat horse meat......
(sorry guys, I'm totally with you on this, but just a little uncomfortable with the wording)

I think that's a valid point, amarche. I would also suggest, politely of course, that you don't want to make the image so horrendous that people can't look at it. The objective surely has to be to grab attention, rather than make people look away before they've even read what the campaign is about.
Another way of presenting is might be to get a really sweet photo that people will first of all go aaaah to, then to add the message that this darling little foal/pony/horse was on its way to slaughter. It's an image that people can also relate to.

Hi
This is certainly not anti French, if you are familiar with restaurant menu's, hors d' deouvres is like a pre starter. Although it is a french word, it is not intended to offend the French, just as fillyt (fillet) is not intended to offend the English.

The second pic I took from the ILPH website.
I think both would make good posters, NOT for T shirts though.
The problem with putting up sweet fluffy pink ponies is that no one can actually visualise what it going on.
I certainly didn't know until i went onto the ILPH website. I was in pieces, sobbing my heart out over these horses. I can't even sleep at night. If it affects me, it will affect others into doing something about it.
People need to be shocked into doing something.

I really think one of rose would be good - my hubby suggested making a slogan with the chris rea song road to hell
or something saying would you like your steak - rare medium or terrified -
(he asked me to post them so I have - what a good wife!)

Valid point amarche. We don,t accept eating horse meat but MUST accept that many countries DO. This is about stopping live transport. If we offend french dealers we may find ourselves unable to rescue any more horses and ponies in the future.as they won,t have any dealings with us.The picture of that poor horse on the back of a t shirt shocking as it is !!! Is what we need as it jumps out at you instantly and shows what we are trying to stop. On the front could be this is only one horse out of ( however many thousand ) that has made this horrific journey.
