They were confused and ,frightened , and hours from slaughter.
When the animal rescue team first saw these young foals they were cowering in a corner of their stable under sentence of death, after spending half their lives as research labopatory guinea-pigs.
Yesterday ,after a remarkable deal with organisation that used them for medical experiments , the ten little ponies were roaming free.
For the first time in their miserable lives they were enjoying the open air , regaining their stength- and slowly beginning to trust humans again.
The only signs of their ordeal were the patches of bare skin where they had been shaved before injections.
The foals aged between six and eight months , were given their liberty not by animal rights activists storming the lab , but by quiet negotiation with the research centre.
The foals were sold to the laboratory by a breeder in Wales when they were around three months old.
"They have never been loved". "If anyone approached them they would group together and hide their heads in a corner- I think they thought if they couldn't see us , we couldn't see them. They were in total fear. If you went near them they became panic-stricken.
What is your opinion about animal testing?
Does it worth to torture animals for experiments in laboratories?
In my opinion I prefer free and healthy animals. In this case I believe that they're going to make very good ponies- someone is going to adore them.

hello...
Yes itsn't fare in every respect.
But how the world is going to get the evolution in the field of health and medicine for human kind.
These are the animals, I still feel pain for them.
I have gone through a an article in the local newspaper that some medicine company experimented their drug on human in remote areas of Africa, and in reaction the entire population lost their teeth.
Dear Mishaikth,
I seems to me that nature has all the answers for our health and our good physical condition.
