- View Senator Mary Landrieu introducing The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act (S.727). Contact your Senators to vote “YES” on this legislation. Also contact your representatives in the House to vote “YES” on H.R. 503 (The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act). To find your Congressional representatives, go to www.senate.gov and www.house.gov.
- Click here to see evidence from March 2009 that U.S. slaughter-bound horses are inhumanely treated in the United States.
- Call your Congressional representatives in Washington, DC to vote FOR H.R. 503, The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act. This act replaces previous legislation to ban horse slaughter in the U.S. and prevent our horses from shipping to Canada and Mexico for butchering. Go to www.animallawcoalition.com for URGENT information on horse slaughter and ACTIONS to take NOW to stop the pro slaughter campaign to legalize slaughter in 12 states and open horse slaughter plants in the U.S.
- To view a brief video about horses at U.S. slaughter plants go to this website - www.kaufmanzoning.net/apologize.wmv Warning - graphic footage!
- If you have any doubts about the cruelty involved with the entire process of sending a horse to slaughter, go to www.animals-angels.com and click on Horse Slaughter as well as their investigative reports which are factual and graphic. Be sure to read the new report based on information obtained from USDA of the Beltex plant in Texas (closed in 2007). The pro slaughter agenda will be hard pressed to continue their argument that horse slaughter in the U.S. was “humane” after viewing this evidence. Beltex currently operates in Mexico. American horses ship to their Morton feedlot in Texas before their miserable final journey to slaughter in Mexico.
