Make a call tommorrow to save America's Horses! Posted: 6 months ago by TraumaMamma
Mark your calendars for January 22, 2008, the National Call-In Day for Horses!
The doors on the last remaining U.S.-based horse slaughter plants have been shuttered. Now, Congress must pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (H.R. 503/S. 311) to end the transport to slaughter of American horses to Mexico and Canada. Even when plants were operating within the U.S., several thousand horses were exported to Mexico and Canada annually. Though the total number of American horses killed has dropped, all of them are now enduring terribly long trips over the border that end in a grisly form of slaughter. We have said all along that we must pass federal legislation to stop horse slaughter and the need has never been more urgent.
On January 22, please call your two U.S. senators and U.S. representative and express your support to end horse slaughter permanently.

If it had been an equestrian gymnastics event, she would have scored a perfect 10.
After all, it's not every day you see a horse perform a gravity-defying flip of such dizzying proportions.
(Somersault not perfect by human gymnast standards, but still impressive. After all, it is a horse.)
