Remain Vigilant in Fight Against Horse Slaughter-Okay to Cross Post

[Guest guest]

At Randy's request, I am widely posting his below email in which he asked animal advocates to remain vigilant and not give up on the fight to defeat horse slaughter. This federal ruling was a single victory and the warn is not yet won. Thanks to all. Margaret

 

 

 

Randy Turner Mar 29, 2007 9:35 AM 'Margaret Morin' RE: Yesterday a federal court shut down all horse slaughtering plants Margaret, we can’t let up on our efforts to defeat the horse slaughtering bill (HB 2476) in Texas. All the USDA has to do is “follow the federal procedures for setting up the inspection fee program†and the slaughtering plants will be back in business. Also, the court ruling was from a district court, not an appeals court as reported by the newspaper, and the ruling will most certainly be appealed.

He's right. I live very close to the Kaufman slaughterhouse

and used to get Country World, the local news for the

farmer/cowboy. The paper had article after article arguing

pro slaughter from the farmer's point of view. The last

article, the one which made me stop the paper, was that the

farmers took the stance that once they've used a barrel

horse, etc. they can't get any money for the horse except

for slaughter. They say they'd have to pay to keep the

animal or euthanize it and " that's not fair. " They figure

that the animal sold to slaughter is money in their pockets

and don't take into account the fact that the horse carried

them for 15 years or that the horse feels anything.

Basically, the corporate and agricultural interests are

against the ban on horse slaughter and we do have to keep

pushing for it.
