Permanent Ban on Horse Slaughter Advances in Congress

Dear Simon,

Yesterday afternoon, the U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly (277-137) to restore a 34-year-old ban on the commercial sale and slaughter of America's wild horses and burros. On Wednesday, the bill to ban the sale and transport to slaughter of all American horses cleared a critical Senate committee by a decisive 15-7 vote. These victories move us even closer to banning horse slaughter in the United States permanently.

Here's what happened: Unfortunately, your U.S. Representative, Sam Johnson, voted no on the wild horse bill. Please call Representative Johnson at (202) 225-4201 and express your disappointment. Your U.S. Senator, Kay Bailey Hutchison, who serves on the Senate committee, unfortunately voted no on the horse slaughter bill. Please call Senator Hutchison at (202) 224-5922 and let her know you hope she will reconsider her position on this issue.

Your calls and emails are key to winning this fight. Everyday this past week, as I walked the halls of the House and Senate with other Humane Society of the United States staff, shoring up support for these two votes, every office we visited said the same thing: "We are getting a lot of phone calls from our constituents about the horses." Please help keep the momentum going:

To shut down the horse slaughter industry in the United States and to stop horses from being exported to other countries for slaughter -- where they face longer transports and an even more grisly death -- we need everyone who cares about horses to get involved. Please tell your friends, family and colleagues how they can help.

Thank you for your continued commitment to ending horse slaughter. Together, we have made tremendous progress. And together we will finish the job and shutter this barbaric business for good.

 

Sincerely,Wayne PacellePresident & CEOThe Humane Society of the United States

P.S. These two important votes on horse slaughter come just a short time after we won commanding votes in the House and Senate on legislation to combat dogfighting and cockfighting. Congress is taking action on animal protection issues!

Now we need to get the co sponsor list to 60+ for the bill S. 311 (I believe thats the number) which would ban all sale and transportation of horses for slaughter. This number is needed to get it to the floor for a vote. Please, help and contact your reps! Thank you, CheyenneEdwin Pech <pechcv wrote:  Hi Margaret - My Representative, Ralph
