[RC] Day of the Horse: Bill No. ACR 175 - Sarah Zegers
I discovered this yesterday while browsing thru the California Civil
Codes:
On June 27, 2002, the California State Assembly & Senate filed Bill
Number: ACR 175, designating December 14, 2002, and the "Day of the
Horse".
"WHEREAS, The horse is a living link to the heritage and history of the
State of California and the United States of America; and
WHEREAS, Without horses, the economy history, and character of the State
of California and the United States of America would be profoundly
different; and
WHEREAS, The presence of the horse continues to permeate our society
from movie screens to open land to our own backyards; and
WHEREAS, Horses are a vital part of our collective experience and, as
such, deserve our protection and compasion; and
WHEREAS, with increasing pressure from modern society, all horses, wild
and domestic, rely on humans for adequate food, water, and shelter; and
WHEREAS, Today, horses play a vital role in the economy of the State of
Califoria and the United States of America; and
WHEREAS, The Congressional Horse Caucus estimates the horse industry
contributes well over $l00 billion to the American economy annually; and
WHERAS, The University of California, Davis, reports that California
equine activities support between 300,000 and l million horses, and
WHEREAS, The second Saturday in December should be specially set aside
as the Day of the Horse to encourage all citizens to be mindful of the
welfare of the horse and its contribution to our economy, heritage, and
history; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Assembly of the State of
California, the Senate thereof concurring, That the Legislature of the
State of California hereby proclaims December 14, 2002, to be the Day of
the Horse in the State of California, and calls upon all citizens to be
mindful of the welfare of the horse and to recognize and appreciate the
role of the horse in our history, heritage, and economy.
WOW!
