UPDATE ON EARLIER HORSE STORY

Earlier this year, I Blogged about H.R. 503, The American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act. That bill would prohibit the transport, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donation of any horse to be slaughtered for human consumption. If you have not yet taken action on the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, please do so! It is crucial that your representatives hear from you on this issue today!

__________

Take Action Now by sending a letter to your representative! Additionally, the representatives on the list below were co-sponsors of H.R. 857---the previous congressional version of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act---but have not yet cosponsored H.R. 503. These representatives need to be reminded that they cosponsored H.R. 857, as well as voted favorably on the Sweeney-Spratt Agricultural Appropriations Amendment to stop horse slaughter—which the USDA recently circumvented, completely disregarding both Congressional intent and the will of the American people. If your representative is on this list, please just take 60 seconds or so and call to encourage him or her to cosponsor H.R. 503. It is more vital now than ever!
