Support HR 503 - The American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act

Write to:

Let's Not Let Representative Bob Goodlatte Control H.R. 503!

We are trying to reach 100,000 signatures, and we need everyone's help!

It takes about a minute or so. Please follow this link: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/
Once you have signed, help even more, by spreading the word to other horse lovers and protectors.

Last year, Representative Bob Goodlatte (R) Virginia suppressed  HR 857 - The American Horse Slaughter Protection Act - until it died. We have another chance to end horse slaughter in America, Support Bill H.R. 503, just introduced February 1, 2005.

This bill protects horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules from being cruelly slaughtered by Bel-Tex, Dallas Crown (both plants are in Texas) and Cavel (in Illinois). The plants are owned by foreign entities who sell the meat for human consumption. Goodlatte receives campaign contributions from the foreign companies, hence his unwillingness to release this bill for a vote.

Once this bill is released, it will pass and slaughter will become illegal in the United States. Rep. Goodlatte is 'thumbing his nose' at the legislative process. He is refusing to carry out his duties regarding this bill - this petition will go directly to Representative Goodlatte when the required signatures have been collected.

Say NO to Goodlatte and YES to ending slaughter.
