URGENT: Stop Horse Slaughter!
Hi Everyone,
I will post on chakra's in a bit - but first:
Americans don't eat horsemeat -- there simply is no domestic demand for it. So, why do our horses wind up on dinner plates on European and Asian tables? Last year, more than 90,000 American horses were either killed in one of three foreign-owned slaughterhouses in the United States or shipped to Canada or Mexico for slaughter. Our thoroughbreds, show horses, mustangs, carriage horses, and family ponies are shipped in inhumane conditions and butchered.
Last month, we contacted you to help restore protections for wild horses after 41 mustangs were sold by the government and sent to slaughter. You and thousands of other outraged Americans spoke out, and Congress responded by passing an amendment to stop it.Now we need your help again to protect thousands of our domestic horses -- our loyal and trusted companions -- who are at grave risk, every day. We cannot let this continue. Take action today to help stop this inhumane slaughter for foreign meat markets.
Congress will be taking another critical vote on horse protection. Representatives John Sweeney (R-NY) and John Spratt (D-SC) plan to offer an amendment to the Agriculture Appropriations bill to ensure that tax dollars are no longer used to allow the slaughter of horses. We expect the vote to occur on Wednesday, June 8 or Thursday, June 9. We don't have much time to reach all the Representatives in Congress and secure their votes for the Sweeney-Spratt amendment.
1. Take action. Contact your U.S. Representative and urge him or her to vote YES on the "Sweeney-Spratt horse slaughter amendment." Click here to contact your Representative now.
2. Make a call. The vote on this amendment is expected to be on Wednesday, June 8 or Thursday, June 9. Please take a moment to make a short phone call urging your Representative to vote YES on the Sweeney-Spratt horse slaughter amendment. (Not sure what to say? Click here.)
3. Spread the word. Every single U.S. Representative needs to hear from constituents who care about animals. Ask your friends and family to call their Representatives as well. Click here to tell five friends to take action now.
Knowing that thousands of beautiful animals have already been slaughtered is simply devastating. Please stand with us and do everything you can to spare the lives of our wonderful horses.
Thank you for all you do on behalf of animals!
