Put Horse Slaughter Down for Good!
Target: Gregory Hammer, President of the American Veterinarian Medical Association (AVMA)Sponsored by: National Horse Protection League
© Sean Sauber |
We think of veterinarians as gentle animal advocates, yet the American Veterinarian Medical Association (AVMA), and its president, Gregory Hammer, refuse to denounce the cruel and barbaric practice of horse slaughter throughout the United States, or to call for banning the export of horses or horse meat for human consumption.
With their allies in the meat industry, the AVMA is lobbying against passage of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (S.311).
Horse slaughter is motivated by greed and indifference to American horses. Killer buyers pick up horses for small sums at slaughter, and resell them to the slaughterhouses where horsemeat is shipped off to Europe and Asia to satisfy gourmet diners.
Dr. Hammer and the AVMA should be protecting the welfare of these animals, not the interests of the meat industry.
Please sign our petition and tell Dr. Hammer that the AVMA is wrong.
Horse slaughter must be put down for good.

Horse slaughter is NOT humane euthanasia! Stop trying to fool the public, you're only making a fool of yourself.

AVMA has a duty to promote the welfare and healing of all animals not raised for food and slaughtered under strict guidelines. Horses do not fit this description. Their slaughter is brutal, unregulated and deplorable.

It is a disgrace to humanity to act out of sheer violence and greed. To make animals suffer, knowingly, .... is appalling. Horses are beautiful, intelligent creatures who deserve the right to live. Vets should be the First to stand up for their rights.

With the American public overwhelming against the slaughter of horses, most of which are young and healthy, why does the AVMA continue to deny what is obvious to anyone who have seen videos and read reports? Horse slaughter is inherently inhumane, the captive bolt is too often ineffective, and corruption is rampant in the slaughter trade. The AVMA should support S. 311 because not doing so is destroying their credibility.

Slaughter has always encouraged more abuse, neglect and irresponsibility in the horse industry-and it doesn't need any extra help in that department.
