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: https://community.hsus.org/campaign/...=61z-mx71hzNLW -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington! (And proud of it, too) email me at nalee1964 (at) insightbb (dot) com http://community.webshots.com/user/mgcmdjeep |

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."
