Build a Super Horse

Breaking news:

“On April 25 Landrieu; Sen. Scott Brown; and Representatives Ed Whitfield, David Rivera and Jim Moran, along with celebrities including actress and Animal Welfare Institute Spokesperson Bo Derek; and equine advocate Declan Gregg, the 9-year-old founder of Children 4 Horses, anti-processing letter-writing campaign gathered, in Washington, D.C., to urge Congress to pass HR 2966 and S 1176.

Landrieu urged the bills’ passage on grounds that despite the GAO findings, processing does not represent the alternative for animals that are old, sick, or have reached the end of their productive years.

“When a horse is old, sick, or can no longer be productive, its owner should provide humane euthanasia,” Landrieu said. “Ninety percent of all horses that die each year are humanely euthanized and/or safely disposed of–this additional 10 percent is not a burden. Brutal slaughter is not an appropriate alternative.”

Thank you Senator Brown, Reps Whitfield, Rivera and Moran.

Woo hoo Bo Derek and Declan Gregg

I’m surprised there aren’t more celebs getting behind this.

Several states are being pressured to resume horse slaughter.

So far, only New Mexico has succumbed.

Missouri and Tennessee looked into it, then listened to their citizens and declined.

There are many issues to become informed about on this subject and I urge all interested to do so asap.
