CRUSADING FOR AN END TO THE ILLEGAL INTERSTATE TRANSPORTATION OF CALIFORNIAS HORSES TO SLAUGHTER

STOP THE ILLEGAL TRANSPORT TO SLAUGHTER

Target:
ALL THOSE IN CALIFORNIA WITH AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE LAW
Sponsored by: 

CRUSADING for California Horses! California outlawed the slaughter of equines in the late 90's. and also made it illegal to transport horses OUT of California for the purpose of slaughter, HOWEVER, studies reveal that horses are still being transported to slaughter out of the State of California ON A REGULAR BASIS! They are picked up at auction houses throughout the state and trucked into other states where they eventually cross the border into Mexico to the equine slaughter houses there. We, the undersigned, petition the above authorities for STRICT ENFORCEMENT of Californias anti-slaughter and transportation laws. We MUST stop the illegal inter-state transportation to set an example for the rest of the Nation as we are trying to get Federal Protections in place by the passage of S. 311. California, why wait? STOP THE ILLEGAL INTERSTATE TRANSPORT NOW! Its VERY bad for our cause!
In addition to signing this petition, we will write a letter of complaint to, DR. ROBERT GIBBENS, The United States Department of Agriculture / Western Region, at 2150 Centre Ave., Bldg. B , MS 3W11, Ft. Collins, Co 80526 or call him at  (970) 494 - 7478. We will do ANYTHING to end the illegal interstate transport of our California horses to slaughter!

Supposedly, Americans love their horses, but who would think so. It seems that people are apathetic to the plight of horses being transported across the border for slaughter. What a vile way to thank these wonderful animals for all they have done for human kind through out history. Please stop the ILLEGAL transportation of horses across the border into Mexico!!

I think that all horse slaughter houses should be destroyed,or at least the journeys be shorter and less stressing for the horse.

This totally needs 2 stop the poor horses, & think of the potiential many of those horses have, but don't get a chance to prove their abilities ,and prove people wrong. All horses are important to earth weather u think that or not is your choice , but I think every single one of them are here for a reason. That reason is not slaughter.
