ACTION: Open letter to Mexico's President

[Guest guest]

San Bernabe March 12th, 2008 Where compassion does not tread Horrific horse cruelty in Mexico U.S. horses are free from

slaughter in this country since the closure of the last 2 slaughterhouses, but they are now barbarically slaughtered in Mexico. Since a ban to transport live horses from the U.S. to Canada and Mexico for the purpose of slaughter is still pending, our horses are moving rapidly over the borders. It is imperative for U.S. citizens to lobby for immediate enactment of the AHSPA, and support efforts in border states to stop transport of slaughter-bound equines. Be it an American or Mexican horse, what matters is the sadistic method used to slaughter these intelligent animals. A brief description of the horse slaughter: "The American mare swung her head frantically when the door to the

kill box shut, trapping her inside. A worker jabbed her in the back with a small knife seven, eight, nine times. Eyes wild, she lowered her head and raised it as the blade punctured her body around the withers, again and again. At the 10th jab, she fell to the floor of this Mexican slaughterhouse, bloodied and paralyzed but not yet dead. She would lie there two minutes before being hoisted upside down from a chained rear leg so her throat could be slit and she could bleed to death. The mare was one of nearly 30,000 American horses shipped to Mexican processing plants this year" Learn more>>> http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5175642.htmlANTI-FUR SOCIETY AGAINST HORSE SLAUGHTER Open letter to the President of Mexico President Felipe Calderon HinojosaUnited Mexican States Dear President

Calderon: It is with extreme repulsion and sadness that I saw photos and videos of how slaughter is performed in horse slaughter "plants" of San Barnabe. Old horses, young, healthy, sick, pregnant mares...none escape the inhumane, indeed barbarian deaths at the hands of cold hearted butchers. It seems that in your country there is an extreme lack of humanity! Dear Mr. President, however much in need of income the people of San Bernabe might be, nothing in this world can justify so much barbarianism and pain inflicted on defenseless animals. Horses, after a life of service to their owners, are discarded in San Bernabe to meet with unspeakable deaths. In the third

Millenium, such barbarianism is no longer acceptable in any civilized society. Europeans are the main consumers of horse meat, but they surely are not aware of the horse slaughter monstrosity and lack of hygiene of San Barnabe. It is imperative that the European Parliament, and their public become aware of how tortured their meat was since there are still people in this world with a minimum of human decency. San Bernabe is giving Mexico a very bad reputation in the international community. Please be informed that I will not be visiting Mexico until horse slaughter is banned, nor

will I be purchasing any products made in Mexico. This information has been sent worldwide to friends, family and groups that I participate. They in turn, are also sending this information to their friends, relatives and internet groups. Please do the moral thing and stop this barbarism. Sincerely, Name & Last name Country & city cc: Media, Tourism agencies worldwide, European parliament PLEASE TAKE ACTION! Help end the barbarianism in San Bernabe.
