Stop the Transport of Horses for Slaughter
Target:
US Senate; US House of Representatives
Sponsored by:
H.R. 503 would both end the slaughter of American horses for human consumption and prohibit their export for slaughter in other countries. This bill passed a crucial Senate committee on April 25, 2007 and we need your help to keep it moving.

The continued transport of horses to Mexico where the killing methods are so primitive and the transport distances so long, is not what the American people wanted when they pushed for the closure of horse slaughter plants in the US.
Every day we delay, more of our horses are subjected to indescribable suffering. Please, for the sake of these poor creatures, no longer stand in the way of legislation to ban the export of live horses, where the horses meet a terrible fate.

These american mustangs are sared animals and they are tyhe property of the american Indians and the legal residents of the usa. The penalty for horse stealing used to be hanging. That is a law that needs to be brought back. Any so so called human that would torture and skin thehorses alive and cut them up with chain saws need to be executed by hanging,or shot on the spot.The public voted out the massacre of our horses. Who is allowing this? has the President Bush authorized this? BLM,Dept of the interior,who? We the people are going to find out. If they are being sent to Mexico, They have to be allowed to be taken to Mexico. Why is this happening?We don't want illegals here either!

Horses are raised with man. They serve us in various ways but mostly for pleasure. They trust us all the way to the slaughter house - how pathetic is that! Please stop slaughtering horses now.

I've owned horses all my life and would NEVER ALLOW A HORSE TO BE KILLED FOR ANY REASON. WE JUST CLOSED THE LAST HORSE SLAUGHTERHOUSE AND NOW YOU WANT TO HAVE A NEW ONE? CAN'T YOU PEOPLE THINK OF ANYTHING BETTER TO HELP BRING JOBS OTHER THAN MURDER? IF THESE WERE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF HORSES I GUESS THAT WOULD BE A SIN RIGHT?

Ending horse slaughter is LONG overdue! America has spoken and spoken and spoken for YEARS and aren't we suppossed to be majority rule in this country? But, alas, it seems money, special interests, deceipt and half truths are becoming the American way of life,death, justice and injustice! The Baby steps that shut down the 3 existing horse slaughter plants in America are just that! baby steps and a patronizing of America's public! We are not buying it!! We want horse slaughter stopped! We want transports across the borders for slaughter stopped! We ask that you finally listen to the American people, do what's right and not what's profitable and VOTE on the bills now before you TO end it once and for all! Every day you delay the vote, hundreds more or our American icons suffer a horrific torture and death!! Enough is enough!!
