Urge Congress to Pass Anti-Horse Slaughter Bill!
Every year, more than 100,000 American horses are cruelly slaughtered to satisfy the markets for horsemeat in Europe and Asia. Since the last horse slaughter plants in the U.S. were closed in 2007, unwanted American horses are commonly shipped to Canada and Mexico for these killings.

The methods used to kill these horses once they arrive at a processing plant can be exceptionally inhumane. In Mexico, slaughterhouse workers commonly use small, thin knives to stab horses into a state of paralysis (by severing their spinal cords), and then slaughter them while still fully conscious. The Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act, recently introduced to Congress, would put an end to this practice by prohibiting the transport of America's horses across state lines and international borders for slaughter. Please contact your representatives and urge them to support this anti-horse slaughter bill now >>
