Please be a voice for our wild and domestic equines now.
We’ve just learned that the House is expected to vote today on an
Agriculture Appropriations Amendment that would prohibit the slaughter
of all horses, wild or domestic. This is not the same amendment that was
voted on last week. This is the amendment that passed overwhelmingly last
year in both the House and the Senate, only to have the USDA find a loophole
in the new law.
This time our champions in Congress have refined the language to prevent the
slaughter industry and the USDA from once again skirting the will of the Congress
and the American people. Please take a moment and call your Representative in
the House right now. The vote is today. You can be directly connected to your
Rep by calling the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and giving your zip
code. Ask him or her to support the “Sweeney-Spratt-Rahall-Whitfield
Agriculture Appropriations Amendment”.
We are on the cusp of closing the doors of the brutal horse slaughter industry.
We cannot let up until it is done! Please be a voice for our wild and domestic
equines now.
