~*NEW BILL*~
H.R. 6598 - CONYERS-BURTON
PREVENTION of EQUINE CRUELTY ACT
of 2008

see also the companion bill The Animal Cruelty Statistics Act of 2008 (H.R. 6597), also introduced by Chairman Conyers with Rep. Elton Gallegly

UPDATED*We've thrown the slaughterhouses out of the USA, now we have to finish the job...let's throw out the scum that exploits our horses for profit, the kill buyers, the meat man who plunders for profit and trades in the blood of American horses!*

The AMERICAN HORSE SLAUGHTER PREVENTION ACT Senate bill S 311 and House bill HR 503 needs our help.~

Help us "Buck Horse Slaughter" right out of the United States. American's don't eat horses and are sick and tired of foreign based corporations slaughtering American horses for their profits and shipping their meat out of the country tariff free (unlike beef). Do these corporations based out of the United States even pay corporate taxes? Everyday American horses suffer the cruelest of deaths, lined up at the slaughterhouse assembly line and watching as the horse before them is trapped and hit in the head and not always unconscious before the leg is snagged and they are upside down by one leg, all that body weight on one leg and then they are carved in any state of consciousness. Horses struggle to avoid the bolt so they may receive several hits and still not be knocked out due to the location of a horse's brain.

***This is NOT A DEBATE FORUM nor an OPEN FORUM. It is 100% AGAINST HORSE SLAUGHTER for human consumption and only discussing how to end it and NOT FOR OTHER ISSUES.

Tell Congress to support Senate bill S. 311 and House bill H.R. 503 and we can end this horrid practice.
