Pony meat, Animal welfare, Ukip farming policy
The Dartmoor Hill Pony Association tells the 成人快手 that selling gourmet pony meat could be the way to ensure the future survival of the breed.
The controversy over horsemeat takes a new turn, with a suggestion from the Dartmoor Hill Pony Association that selling a small amount of gourmet pony meat would actually help ensure the breed's survival for the future. Critics say it would put people off coming to the moors, but trials on a range of pony meat products are already underway.
As the party conference season continues, Charlotte Smith talks to the agriculture spokesman for the UK Independence Party, and asks him to outline his priorities for farmers. What would farming be like under a UKIP government?
And Farming Today starts a week-long look at the issue of animal welfare. Charlotte asks the RSPCA whether recent improvements in farm animal welfare go far enough, or whether farmers should be doing more.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
