REGARDING the possible closure of the Only Foals and Horses sanctuary at Oswaldtwistle (LET, January 29), there are all the millionaires about, as well as big businesses and the lottery, and yet this shelter may have to shut because of a money shortage.

Yet, they pour all this money into football and other projects that are not really so important. When are we going to get priorities right?

Only one businessman has come forward so far with any help. So, please, the rest of you, follow suit and don't let this shelter close.

GLADYS ROBINSON, Edge End, Great Harwood.
