This is indeed a hopeful post for a number of reasons:

First, the creation of the committee shows that there are forces trying for 
reform.

Second, notice the large numbers of Brits both on the committee and 
attending the meeting.  Large animal welfare concerns in Britian go back to 
well before the publication of "Black Beauty".  It is my understanding that 
"Black Beauty" was written to call attention to the plight of horses.  I 
have read the endurance rules that are used in Britain.  While I don't agree 
with many of them, the rules leave no doubt that the welfare of the horse 
comes first, second and third.

One can always claim that this committee's work will not lead to a real 
reform for various paranoid, cynical, and historical reasons.  It still is a 
ray of hope.  We should applaud and support this positive effort.
