Mark your calendars for January 22, 2008, the National Call-In Day for Horses! tags horse slaughter Mexico Canada auctions transport horse meat IllegalThe 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. picked by TraumaMamma 6 months ago |
