Petition to Ban Horse Slaughter in the United States

Target:
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, U.S. House of Representatives
Sponsored by: 
Please sign this petition to end horse slaughter in the United States. Let our Government know how many people are against this atrocity.  Evidently, our "screams" were not loud enough last year!

Please, if you are NOT an American Citizen, do not sign this petition - we know you are with us, but it will only hinder our efforts.  In addition, please do not nullify this petition with false names.

To be added to our email alert, please click on my name here and email me - I will add you to the email list. 

Most importantly! Please forward this petition link to everyone you know, download a poster from the horses.generitek site and educate people about this atrocity.  We need as many signatures, calls and faxes to our Representatives and Senators, as possible. This is the only way this barbarism will end!

To:  Speaker of the House: Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader: Senator Harry Reid and Minority Leader: Senator Mitch McConnell:

We, the undersigned American Citizens, request that our House of Representatives and our Senate expediently ban horse slaughter in the United States.

In 2006, the House voted to ban horse slaughter for human consumption with a vote of 263 to 146, but yet the Senate ignored thousands upon thousands of faxes, phone calls and letters to bring S. 1915 to a vote.  Americans want horse slaughter to end now!

Thousands of people have been working diligently to stop horse slaughter in the United States.  American citizens have given their time and money to end this atrocity in our country, and we no longer want our country to be associated with this barbaric and inhumane practice that only benefit very few in the United States and Europe.  

The American people are depending on our Representatives and Senators, to listen to the voice of the people.  It is time to end "America's Dirty Little Secret"!

Thank you.

Horses are my passion, I have loved just watching these animals in their environment for as long as I can remember. I cannot afford to own a horse myself and knowing what I know about how unjust and horrific the slaughtering of horses are makes me absolutely livid that people think they have the right to do this to a living, breathing animal. I think eveyone involved in horse slaughter should be 6 feet under, if we cannot do these kinds of things to each other, what makes it alright to do it to another living creature? Did God himself point his finger at these people and tell them they are allowed to torture creatures to death for our pleasure? I'm sorry but wake up people, money can be made elsewhere, and if it can't be, it's probably because you are an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT so get out of here and get lost! I tear up just thinking about what might be going through these animlas minds as they are being shipped across the country with no food, water, decent transportation, nothing, they get a big F* you were going to kill and eat you anyway so we may as well tortue you in the process, makes me absolutely sick! I am outraged at these people who do this and I hope they get what they deserve.

PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF THE BEAUTIFUL HORSES....LET THEM BE FREE. THERE IS NO NEED TO SLAUGHTER ANY HORSE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. WITH ALL THE ANIMALS THAT ARE SLAUGHTERED YEARLY FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST BE HAPPY WITH THAT? IF IT WERE UP TO ME, NO ANIMAL WOULD BE SLAUGHTERED FOR FOOD. THESE ANIMALS WERE NOT PUT ON THIS EARTH FOR US TO EAT...THEY WERE CREATED FOR US TO ENJOY AND LOVE. THEY FEEL FEAR AND PAIN JUST LIKE WE DO, AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE HUNG UP BY ONE LEG AND HAVE MY THROAT SLIT AND JUST BE LEFT THERE TO BLEED OUT WHILE I'M STILL ALIVE...WOULD YOU? WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOUR OWN ANIMALS? I WOULD HOPE NOT. PLEASE, STOP THE SLAUGHTER OF HORSES...DO THE RIGHT THING.

YES, I AM A U.S. CITIZEN AND I AM ASHAMED OF THE IDEA THAT WE WOULD ALLOW HORSES TO BE SLAUGHTERED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION!!

I ask that congress take this important bill very seriously. It is American horses that are being harmed. U.S. farmers being hurt buy the exportation of horse meat as food. It is my very strong opinion that is other countries consider it a delicacy they are free to raise their own horses to slaughter. But I would hope that all Americans who disagree with this practice, let their representative know how strongly against this we are. Personally I can't see this noble creature being slaughtered in this manner, for an unneeded manner such as this.

ALL ANIMAL CRUELTY SHOULD BE STOPPED. THESE ARE NOT FOOD ANIMALS IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE SHOULD PROTECT THEM FROM BEING SHIPPED DEAD OR ALIVE OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. ALL AND ANY SLAUGHTER HOUSES FOR HORSES OR OTHER NON EATABLE ANIMALS SHOULD BE CLOSED AND BURNED TO THE GROUND. THIS IS AMERICA. NOT CHINA
