Default Help protect America's wild horses from slaughter

I thought you might be interested in this HSUS campaign to protect wild
horses from slaughter.

Wild horses were protected from slaughter for years, but this protection was
stripped by a stealth change in the law last year. More than 40 wild horses
have already been sold and slaughtered.

The House of Representatives will vote Thursday, May 19, on an amendment to
ensure that no tax dollars are used for any sale of wild horses that could
lead to their slaughter. Please ask your U.S. Representative to vote YES on
the Rahall-Whitfield Interior Appropriations amendment. The vote is this
Thursday, so please go to this link and take action today:

Got the following email from HSUS as an update:

I'm so pleased to tell you that last night, thanks to your action, the U.S.
House of Representatives voted in a landslide -- 249-159 -- to ban the sale
of wild horses for slaughter! Americans were outraged last December when a
secret rider in a budget bill gutted the federal protections afforded to
wild horses for 34 years, an action that allowed "killer buyers" last month
to ship 41 mustangs to an Illinois slaughterhouse, which quickly killed
these majestic animals so they could be served up on dinner plates in Europe
and Asia.

U.S. Representatives Nick Rahall (D-WV), Ed Whitfield (R-KY), John Sweeney
(R-NY), and John Spratt (D-SC) have led the charge to end horse slaughter.
As Congressman Rahall stated after last night's victory, "The very notion
that wild American horses would be slaughtered as a food source for foreign
consumption abroad has struck a chord with the American people. Tonight, the
people's House of Representatives acted on the will of its constituents."
