Horse slaughter is not euthanasia. It is not and can never be made humane. Ending horse slaughter is critical to the safety and welfare of horses everywhere.
United States
We ask you to join us in contacting Congress to continue de-funding federal USDA inspections of horse slaughter plants. Language for this is in the House version of the bill, but did not get added to the Senate version as promised.
Action to Take
Please call or fax your U.S. Representative and two U.S. Senators today.
Remember that this is a finance or spending bill. Therefore the message you want to send is: (1) That you do not want millions of taxpayer dollars wasted on horse slaughter inspections for animals not bred and raised for food; and (2) Adopt the House version of H.R. 2112 and continue de-funding inspections for horse slaughter for human consumption.
Attention
You may have either a U.S. Senator or Representative serving on the special conference committee currently debating the Agriculture Appropriations Bill.
If so, your call is especially important. Please be sure you mention that you are constituent. Give the person you speak with your name and address, and for assurances, very politely ask them to read it back to you.

Your Donations are Making a Difference
Because of continued equine advocacy and reporting, the European Union are scrambling to make changes to their policies, which as we continue to point out, are clearly failing. While this goes on, toxic horse meat produced from North American horses continues to enter the human food chain.
Your financial support has been critical in keeping up these pressures and battling the hugely powerful animal agriculture lobby.
Help us capitalize on the progress we are making. Please make a donation today! Please believe me when I say that all amounts are highly appreciated, and make a significant impact.
Thank you everyone.

I’ll try but I don’t seem to have made any impression. Extremely frustrating! I got a more useful response from the Canadian Prime Minister than from my own Senators and Representatives. Heck of a situation.
