This is so important and raising issues such as this with @scotgov is one of the reasons that the #rbstscotland forum was set up. Get in touch with your local group to find out more. @RBST_Caledonian @GroupRbst @YoungRbst @rbstnorthscot @RBSTrarebreeds
We are calling on @scotgov to tackle the crisis ib Scotland's local abattoir network. https://t.co/JVOYNrvCKg

It is a great shame that this fabulous resource is under threat. Generations of local children have learned about livestock, food and landscape, and how they are interconnected, at Doonies. #GoNative
We are urging @AberdeenCC to secure a future for @DooniesFarm - story includes comments from RBST CEO @RareBreedChris

All British M&M ponies are suited to wet weather. They have had centuries of adapting to it. There has been human selection too - but nature has always played a part in M&M breeds. They needed to work some marginal places where high quality food/shelter wasn’t available #gonative
